That explains the arsehole who drove past me this morning and could hardly see the road for his car covered in Union Jacks!

(Not a comment on his political views, just that's a dick and shouldn't be on the road

I’m always amazed at how a great many British nationalists harp on about the benefits of a Union of nations but when you point out that’s exactly what the EU is they completely lose their shit. Never have and never will consider myself British but each to their own.

No I think the Goat Shaggers....sorry the Loyal Orange Lodge were just out spewing their usual bile and anti-Catholic rhetoric as is the case every marching season. Purely coincidental that the pro Union march was on the same day.......or was it??

O Flower of Scotland,

When will we see

Your like again,

That fought and died for,

Your wee bit Hill and Glen,

And stood against him,

Proud Edward's Army,

And sent him homeward,

To think again.

The Hills are bare now,

And Autumn leaves

lie thick and still,

O'er land that is lost now,

Which those so dearly held,

That stood against him,

Proud Edward's Army,

And sent him homeward,

To think again.

Those days are past now,

And in the past

they must remain,

But we can still rise now,

And be the nation again,

That stood against him,

Proud Edward's Army,

And sent him homeward,

To think again.

The Hills is bare nou,

An Autumn leafs,

Lies thick an still,

Ower land that is tint nou,

That thae sae darlie held,

That stuid agin him,

Prood Edward's Airmie,

An sent him hamewart,

Tae think again.

Have you lived in a cave for the past 40 years? Anytime the “Ludge” are out twirling their batons and lionising a long dead Dutchman there is anti-Catholic rhetoric and the Police for the most part do sweet fuck all. I would say the same about Irish Republican marches glorifying murderers who starved themselves to death in the H blocks .....it’s 21st Century Glasgow not 1970’s Derry and these fannies on both sides have no place in my country.

Bigotrys alive and well on both sides of the divide and i will guess both sets will claim not me guv disgusting.

While it was a loyalist org that set the parade up it had squat to do with sectarian shite theres catholics and protestants on both sides for and against indthere should be no need of it anyway a ref happened and a decision was reached.

Don’t see any Nationalists losing their shit over rejoining the EU or demonstrating staggering levels of hypocrisy promoting one union whilst decrying another. Short answer (just my opinion) no it’s not applicable.

Nicola Sturgeons pledge is literally , leave the UK and rejoin the EU ... how can you not see that is promoting one while decrying another? It’s literally the exact same hypocrisy as the unionists you are commenting on only with the UK and the EU flipped positions

It hurts my brain that so many people from all sides of the political divide are so tunnel visioned that they can only see negatives on the opposing side and only positives on their own ... maybe if people (voters and politicians) were a little more open minded and less all about their own agenda we wouldn't be in the mess we are now ... we might instead be able to work together towards solutions that work for the population and unite us rather than divide us into factions to in fight and distract us while the country goes down the shitter

How can you not see that one (EU) means independent nation whilst the other (UK) means subservience, austerity, dismantling of the NHS, food banks, xenophobia against anyone who isn’t “British” and white, even more tax breaks for the 1% who need it least? I would put a wee frowning emoji but I find it rather juvenile and trite!

Both a union of nations and you are losing your shit over the one you don't want to be part of

Whatever suits your agenda though eh

And just as an fyi ... I’m actually pro UK and EU ... I am also pro voting reform and changing to PR / more devolved power... but nobody ever considers that could be an alternative option because they are so blinkered yes or no

its the voting system that currently doesn’t work and I don’t believe the answer to that is isolating ourselves in a global economy world which is getting smaller all the time

How is wanting independence for my country undemocratic? 45% of people in Scotland voted in 2014 voted FOR independence and yes they lost that referendum. Does that mean that they stop campaigning for it, does it mean that I as a Scotsman should give up the hope that one day my country will be an independent state, completely in charge of its own affairs? Again given your own islands (in its entirety) history do you think your in a position to be taking the moral high ground in relation to the will of the majority Do you have any proof of collusion between the SNP and “failed Republican terrorists” ? No?

Google? You mean your proof is an internet search? Hardly a smoking gun now is it (pardon the pun)? No problem but first would you like to throw me a slice of mackerel, perhaps balance a ball on my nose?

I have no interest in Irish politics, it’s not my country and I would seriously question your motives for having such a keen interest in Scottish politics. Taking a completely wild guess/stab in the dark here I would say it might have to do with membership of an archaic bigoted organisation with a penchant for flutes, sashes and bowler hats who’s numbers in Scotland are thankfully in terminal decline. Just a hunch like!

Why on earth any remotely educated Scots person would want us to stay part of the union is totally beyond me, Enslaved to another Countries Monarchy.....The media done a grand job scare mongering the older generations into voting remain. If you ask a lot of the same voters now they will likely have changed opinion after Westminster broke a lot of their 'promises'. Times are a changing and the auld duffers need to change with it and not hold the rest of us back.

Why any remotely educated person would want to throw their country off an economic cliff edge without any concrete evidence to back up how it would support itself is totally beyond me

Also why anyone educated would assume the vote all comes from one demographic is also something i don't understand either

Its from my own personal experience that nearly every person I know roughly my age or younger all voted leave. A lot of older people remain who have since told me they utterly regret the decision and would change now and its quite a lot of the same from anyone else I speak with!

As for the economy its on its arse already and I'm slowly watching communities die around my local areas due too it. I'm prepared to take the risk and yes it will get worse before it gets better but there has to be someone leading Scotland to better times, Its never going to happen while part of the union as we are treated as second class citizens in it.

Exactly, it’s worrying that 45% of those who voted did so not even knowing what the Scottish Nazi Party’s plan for currency was.

"Its from my own personal experience that nearly every person I know roughly my age or younger all voted leave. A lot of older people remain who have since told me they utterly regret the decision and would change now and its quite a lot of the same from anyone else I speak with!

So from people in exactly your demographic with similar to your life experience that you know personally, you have assumed to know what is best for the whole country?

We could have someone leading us and using their devolved power now but instead all the time and energy and focus is burned up on going over and over and over the same independence debate ... meanwhile nothing else gets legislated

Why any remotely educated person would want to throw their country off an economic cliff edge without any concrete evidence to back up how it would support itself is totally beyond me

Also why anyone educated would assume the vote all comes from one demographic is also something i don't understand either

Exactly, it’s worrying that 45% of those who voted did so not even knowing what the Scottish Nazi Party’s plan for currency was. "

Just because we voted the same way doesn’t mean i agree with your posts ... saying things like the Scottish Nazi Party repeatedly just shows you up as bitter and detracts from any sensible argument you make so its not helpful

Politics at all levels in the UK particularly needs to grow the F up and start looking at the bigger picture... not everything is about party vs party , some things are more important ... and to be honest we should be quite frankly embarrassed by the slanging match and tit for tat insults behaviour that our elected officials pass off as professional debates

I'm ashamed to be part of the Union purely based on all the warmongering and enslaving of other countries we like to do. The world has changed and we are in for a rough ride as a bit of payback by the rest of the world and rightly so.

So you think it would be right if the likes of ISIS bombed the UK?

Do I want to be separate from the rest of the UK? not with Sturgeon in charge that's for sure.

Do I want to be a part of the European Union? Not for all the tea money in China!

Only the SNP can hammer on about wanting to be independent and not ruled by anyone but desperate to be part of a union where you have absolutely no say.

She's desperate for another referendum on independence before the next Scottish elections because she's knows that her minority government who gets bailed out by the greens will get an arse kicking and will lose even more seats.

Biggest problem is that none of the other parties are much of a choice against them so I can see a hung parliament with no majority for anyone.

As a united kingdom, we assist in famine relief, hurricane assistance and the old favourite stepping in to defuse genocide. Can you honestly say that you wouldn't help someone when they asked for help.

Sigh. I hate getting involved in political threads on the internet but there’s so many things wrong here.

Independence will mean you can still vote for any party that stands in Scotland. It’s not a vote for the SNP forever ffs.

Every EU member country has a ‘say’ and is sovereign. Laws are developed in partnership, not imposed without any consultation. The UK had a veto over any legislation.

How has being in the EU been so detrimental to your life you desperately want out? One example?

No problem helping but we do far more bad than good, you just have to dig around for information and try read between the lines. End of the day none of us common people really know what's really going on behind the scene's.

And as for ISIS we basically enabled them to form and supied then with weapons and ammo to try topple Assad in Syria.... But that's another story.

I was brought up in the North East of Scotland, and sectarianism was never a "thing" up there. I only became aware of it through news reports, and it just seemed so stupid to me.

I still cannot connect Scottish nationalism with Catholicism, or Unionism with Protestantism on an emotional level. I understand now the deep rooted connection some people make, but they just need to get over it.

As an aside it's interesting to note that the so called proud Scots and Brits waved their saltires for the media then abandoned them on benches. This thread is good for one thing it helps decide who to add to the block list

My block list just got bigger reading this. That's the only good thing I got reading through that. I feel so happier being an atheist in the North East of Scotland where this nonsense is just laughed at. God's, unelected hereditary monarchs and glorifying empires is so medieval.
