Offensive? Salmond being compared to Mugabe in the press is offensive. Scotland being compared to the Weimar Republic by the BBC is offensive. Twats like Ben King who'se families own thousands of acres of land in Scotland and claim millions in farming subsidies a year for doing nothing with it holding 'we love you Scotland' events in Trafalgar Square are offensive. Unfounded forecasts of violence and chaos throughout Scotland made by the PM are offensive. A great many of the posts in this thread are deliberately offensive and operate on lazy generalities and stereotypes. Take umbrage with that first then I might reevaluate how much I give a shit if my post offends you.
UKIP are openly racist, and they have enough influence to be creating a big crisis of policy within the Tories. They'll be focused on ensuring there's an in/out vote on Europe, and stirring up enough bile to make sure it happens. That's a fact, whether you like it or not, and by using the referendum as an excuse to 'punish' the Scots or establish an English-only parliament the UK as a political concept grows ever more tenuous. That's not throwing toys out the pram, that's just the way it is.
This was Scotland's chance to break off with as little pain as it would ever cause, I don't think it will be the same if it happens in 8, 16 or 30 years from now.
Wow dude, read your other post with interest and enjoyed how passionate you are, however that is just throwing your toys out of the pram and is offensive.
