[Mull]

It's a shame we don't get this excited about the european elections!

 

 

We will be getting excited about them soon, when the indyref was on they were shouting that the scots would be out of Europe and therefore finished..

This is what the person that discovered DNA had to say about race and intelligence. I'm not trying to be controversial, but it is an interesting viewpoint and it is a Friday night. By the way this person got a Nobel prize for his work.

 

"On October 25, 2007, Watson was compelled to retire as chancellor of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on New York's Long Island and from its board of directors, after he had been quoted in The Times the previous week as saying "[i am] inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa [because] all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours—whereas all the testing says not really." He went on to say that despite the desire that all human beings should be equal, "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true."[51]"

Labour were so unconvincing eggs! Had to be SNP!

 

Unconvincing is an understatement! Although NOBODY saw it coming. (Anybody that says they did is a liar)

 

That's a done job mind. (Can't change history)

 

What good do you think the SNP did for Scotland or the Union?

Apologies for typos, few beers and typing fast on iPhone - fat fingers and autocorrect are unforgiving!

 

It's crap typing on a phone far easier having these sort of discussions face to face

On a serious note.

 

Every individual here runs a business or works for one*. Both these businesses and individuals must manage their finances astutely or there will be serious consequences; a repossessed home or a liquidated business.

 

Why are are people so lackadaisical about politicians promising them land of milk and honey? Where will the money come from

 

Everything has to be paid for ultimately, whether you are of conservative or a more liberal persuasion please look at the figures and ask your representative - "if you're promising me this then what is being sacrificed to pay for it?"

 

We all work on similar basis day to day to provide for our families, all politicians and their promises should be held to similar scrutiny.

 

*controversial I know but public sector doesn't count as entirely funded by contributions of private business/individuals.

Well, by their very name they won't do much for Union!! And only time will tell what they do for Scotland! It won't be easy whatever happens, Britain is a fu***d up place just now!

Most people (when pressed) wouldn't have a clue what they were talking about..... One of the Arbtalk Conseravives as proved that this evening.
