It was a tory govt then. And snp with the Greens’ Lorna Green were warned the deposit scheme was always going to be UK wide. But don’t let fact get in the way of your blinkers.

Of course it’s more than snp supporters. Never suggested otherwise. But a poll from “Believe in Scotland”, showing those numbers, has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

I’d have it tomorrow. And bury the romantic nonsense for ever.

Not yet Colin, he’s only been there 3 months. SNP have had 20 years and their mediocrity doesn’t persuade many people to give them more powers. Otherwise, you’d be miles ahead in all polls over a consistent period.

Burnham just might be doing exactly that.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Or possibly let’s change the UK govt mindset, devolve more capital spending and reduce the Westminster bubble to national security and fiscal policy.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Exactly. That’s what Burnham wants for all of the UK.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Maybe he should move to France and stand for election..

It was a UK referendum, caused by Cameron’s failure to control the hard right ERG. The damage brexit’s done is UK wide, and needs to be reversed. Maybe Indy supporters are worried it’ll eat into that slim majority?

Who do you blame? SNP, Labour, or market forces making Grangemouth uneconomic? Let’s hope both govts can support the area to replace the lost jobs, which go wider than the refinery itself.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Look at the number of non Indy votes. Frankly, I’d have a referendum tomorrow and put 60% as a minimum.

Imagine if some “benefactors” donated some of their immense wealth to help education, local communities or research cancer. Instead of blowing it for no apparent reason than to “help the country”.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

And the insult. You can’t resist.

100

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Just reinforced your own inadequacies. Blinkered thinking isn’t reasoned. Want to explain about currency, repaying the share of National Debt, border arrangements with a separate England, while getting debt own to the EU level for joining, or buying back assets owned by investment companies?

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Insults. Just typical snp tactic.

100

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Another Indy supporter resorts to insult rather than argument.

100

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

“Substantial”? Depends on your definition.

200

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Insults rather than argument. Goodbye.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

My opinion. As is yours about the UK govt’s official position. You can’t have it both ways.

100

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

There isn’t a substantial fraction wanting Indy.

100

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I could get stuck in a doom loop with you. But I won’t.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Cameron’s weakness caused Brexit. Corbyn’s apathy didn’t help. And it was a UK-wide referendum. Proving the nats case for another absurd Indy shouldn’t be based on 2014, but trying to justify Indy in this current geo political and economic state will be a tough ask.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Er, so it’s not just Scotland.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Time all political donations were banned. And state funded according to election results.

020

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Bring it on. The sooner we put this to bed the better.

Dave @davedawsonedin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

It wasn’t the only argument put forward, but no one is denying Brexit is a hugely expensive con.

Journalists should stand up for each other and walk out on this disgusting being.

🇪🇺 EU membership is vital for our country. 💷 We stand to gain upwards of £92bn in economic growth. 📉 As TUC Secretary General Paul Nowak says, the UK is "paying the price" for Brexit.
