The last 3 pre election polls in Scotland have been on the money so the wank theory isnt really warranted in this instance.

Polls in general are wånk.  I'll reiterate that I see what is predicted for Scotland happening, for the very reasons I mentioned.

I skipped reading most of your post because it seemed self indulgent and i couldnt really be bothered with your usual portrayal of the typical scot as being a workshy dole bum blah blah analysis.

Well thats a lie.  It was not till 2/3rds through my monologe that I mentioned workshy.  So gotch there ya lazy dole bum.

.I will concur to your scrutiny of the Snp tax policies which are unfair but as ive said many times im not a fan of the Snp.

Not sure if you've been so vocal on that before? Maybe you have? Perhaps we're more aligned that either of us would actually like to admit.  

 

Believe it or not I am 100% behind a Scottish Independence. I have never shied away from this or ever changed my tune on this subject. Every post Ive ever posted here has been in complete support of that. But I would rather be subjected to English rule than EU rule. I would also like to see a policy of the SNP tht was not based on hating anyone earning over £50k, or £85k or £100k. 

 

You might have a slightly closeted view on the general Scottish population as you not only live in the middle of feck all but also give the appearance on an actual island off of the middle of fecking no where. Now whilst Im slightly jealous as thats where I wanna be you seem to speak with an air of authority of what life is like in the 'real' Scotland. 

 

Out of interest, is your islands council a beneficiary or contributor to Scotland's economy?

The London Economic - Media Bias/Fact Check

LEFT BIAS These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection...

Not just left of center, but extreme left. Can you imagine anyone in any good faith expect someone to read something from the radical right, or left in good faith? 

 

Considering your empty attempt to disassociate yourself from the hard and radical left posting links to such outlets pooh poohs that weak as a tesco beer attempt quite easily. 

 

You must be on the cheap stuff again?

I realise there's media bias.

There's an abundance of sources for the blatant rip off that is happening under our noses.

Then find your bugbear and link it from a neutral source. 

 

Jerking off in your echo chamber then posting the link you got off to is just your personal wånkfest. We dont need to see what got you hot and bothered, 

 

The fact you and a few other nutcases rely on fringe and discredited sources is of no surprise to me.

Well its like announcing a free bar, with a loud hailer, in a busy street, the opportunists will come flocking, no different in the current rather mishandled situation, where Government money was being shovelled out with  zero scruitiny, like our RHI et al.

Btw. most of the businesses that avail of the current largesse, with whatever degree of honesty, can probably be labelled "Tory", cos you know, anyone running a business can be painted as a Tory..

It does get a bit boring when the same people are posting the same stuff over and over!

And another one pops up!  Even after trying to get down with the kids and including a helpful emoji to improve how a simple tongue in cheek sentence can be understood ?

 

It's like a tag team wrestling match sometimes, just when you think everyone's got over (or given up on) your woke/beige/cloud cuckoo land/marxist views another one gets trawled out from the depths! 

 

Go on then Commando, why am I a "libtard"? It's not very PC  using that second part of the word is it!!?

 

Is it my views on fairness for all, tolerance of all races and sexualities, my happiness with a multiracial society or maybe that I have no issue with a degree positive discrimination to improve the position of previously oppressed groups within our society? I suppose to put the icing on the cake I'm also pretty OK with our country accepting immigration from a wide range of countries including refugees from war torn countries who may not be able to prove beyond doubt that they have an absolute right to come here, oh and I'm very much in favour of our country contributing significant sums to international aid programmes due to our historic treatment/exploitation of those countries in the past. I'm also not adverse to the idea of a Labour government and I quite liked Jeremy Corbyn too! I'd imagine from that lot there's a fair few reasons that you may consider me to be a "libtard".

 

In response to boring you I do apologise, but since joining Arbtalk the level of what I would consider to be right wing/intolerant/nationalistic postings, which appear to me to be filled with hate and anger seems to have increased. In many cases the original topics don't even have anything to do with politics etc, but some on here seem to think it's appropriate just to shout others down for anything.  This may or may not be the reason but there also seems to have been a corresponding reduction in the levels of good, helpful contributions from previously great posters (about tree/arb related stuff) and the forum is less good as a result. Some may be busier than previously and spend less time on here than they had but I know several guys in the industry who stay away because of how people are treated. 

 

I rarely post on here in normal times, but occasionally a post or topic tickles your fancy so you decide to get involved and in this case I thought I'd continue to provide my views on the original post to balance those of some our more prolific posters rather than just letting myself be shut down by the usual insults and derogatory statements. 

 

I was planning on having a weekend off but if you'd like to hear more of my "libtard views" and why I disagree with your political/cultural views then I'm happy to put in a bit of time and effort in between other things.

Help us all out then, start a poll with a brief, (no, really) statement of your position and see what degree of agreement (or otherwise) there is. 

Or, get yourself over to a Arb related thread and make some valuable contribution rather than repeating the same old guff on this thread then whining like short changed whore when people express their disagreement with your opinion.
