Vote of No Confidence in Humza coming up after the collapse of the coalition with the greens. He'll need to either get the greens back on side or convince Ash Regan to support him - but she ran against him in the leadership bid then jumped to Alba. She'll want anti-trans promises, which the...

Farage finna lead the tories lmao The tories now are where UKIP used to be, and labour are where the Tories used to be. The grip of right wing media has yanked the Overton window impressively far in as few as 10-15 years

It's me. I'm the solo male

Yes. What I meant is that without her public opinion will reach a tipping point and we'll get rid of the monarchy. Ideally most of their wealth would become public property, the palaces become state-owned museums etc but that's another thing and in reality they'll probably hang around as a...

That woman was the strongest bit of glue holding the British monarchy together. She was able to keep her position and avoid abolition partly because her reign dates back to a time when reverence for the crown was more or less a given. That she ascended right before the Suez Crisis (the incident...

That's pretty much how I feel @JuveJay The case is strong, and the SNP played their hand brilliantly, they knew Scots would vote against Brexit and decided to use it as leverage for another indyref. Perhaps that says something about them being in touch with the electorate. I think we would...

Could you elaborate that point? Im genuinely interested in how you distingush the two. I hate when people talk about communism when discussing Cuba or The Soviet Union. I once had an argument with a teacher in school that there has never been a communist state since the term is an oxymoron...

And also as I said previously I didn't sleep last night.

Ok first of all @Bjerknes and @pjanic21 you are kidding yourselves if this referendum was won by anti-globalist intelligentsia or for any kind of anti-globalist cause. It was won primarily on the immigration issue. Of course the ideas upheld by The Schengen Zone are partly globalist by...

Not Really correct. Ill write you a proper reply to this later. Please quote me so I remember. Ive not slept all night. Feels terrible.

This is the first time a member nation has left the EU. Everything is unknown. Of course other countries could leave, but remember that the UK was not a founding member. An important one while it was in there, sure - but not crucial. Let's see what happens. I hope it wasn't a total fuckup.

As a Celtic fan I fully support your ideals :D

Yeah that, too. The EU is kind of a big mystery really. The workings of it are never really discussed or explained. We get to vote in elections for the Euopean Parliament but I've barely seen any kind of campaigning for it before UKIP started kicking up a fuss in the last decade. That works...

Issue for it's whole own thread but I'd presume from that post that you're from the north and would support full unification?

Under normal circumstances I would be correcting you all on saying 'England' and not 'The UK' but the way it's looking we'll be getting another indy ref before too long. Independence baby :weee:

The EU gives all member nations - and therefore all citizens the right to visit, live or work in whichever other country they want to. There is also the Schengen Zone which consists of European countries (including one or two who aren't EU members) who have abolished all forms of border control...

Yes but only because he wanted the UKIP voters to swing back to Tory to secure a win in the election. Actually I think I see your point now - those UKIP supporters made the difference to the Tories because there are so many of them. Gotcha. - - - Updated - - - Boris Johnson vs David Cameron...

I thought that because I'm not currently in the UK then I wouldn't get a vote, since that's how the Scottish Independence Referendum was. I thought to check too late and discovered that I'd fucked it. In that case maybe my view is meaningless but here it is: I would vote to remain. There is a...

For me the SNP have done a good job in Scotland with what limited power they've had in the Scottish Parliament. Given the high voter turnout this time around I think you can say that the SNP gains are legitimate whether because of support for independence or because people thought they were...

Apparently The Vanguard Bears were heavily involved with inciting riots. The BBC was almost completely silent on Friday night, only mentioning one story on their website of 'Police Split Up Rival Campaigners' or something like that. Total bollocks from them as per. Social media as well as...
