"True or false, Rome wasn't built in a day" this is your answer to the super rich and their political puppets running the country in their own interests.

Now if I answer, true, I expect you will be able to tell me how Rome was different to Scotland under a political system, owned and manipulated by the super rich or is this just further conformation that nothing will change.

Gusmac, you are lost in this Scottish Patriotism nonsense along with Stationtone.

I accepted within the British Union im a One in Ten (UB40 wrote that song) years ago Skull, Within an independent Scotland i can become more significant, maybe a One in Four but hey im still in control of my surroundings, maybe you will never accept you are insignificant but those of us who don't care make best with what we have and just get on with being significant to whom it is important

Your right Skull i have always been lost in this "Scottish Patriotism nonsense" as you put it ,even in my youth when i was brainwashed into voting labour .A labour party that brought Dundee to its knees with 30 years of being in administration . I now support a party that has brought Dundee back from the brink and is running Scotland with one hand tied and is doing a grand job .So please forgive me if i feel a bit proud of my political party (SNP) and myself both supporting Independence and Nationalism . SAOR ALBA

Still waiting to hear why you are so bothered, since you think it doesn't matter who runs the country.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
At best you should be apathetic. But you're actually worried. Now why is that?

And when are you going to reveal your masterplan to solve all the ills you point out?
Or are you just going to keep telling us how hopeless everything is?

In fact, if the population of Scotland all subscribed to your views, there'd be 6 million (sorry 5.2 million) all quing up to take a dive off the north bridge.

Yes. I believe in questioning everything without being forced to accept the norms, customs or ideologies of society because of everyone else.

I'm not bothered Gusmac. I simply find it absurd, that people would vote for a system that represents the interests of their owners, old or new.

To be honest, I think it's pathetic how one can be taken in by this tartan waving bagpipe playing patriotic nonsense and believe that things will be different, when that's not how the system works.

Without real accountability, there is not a political system throughout the world that works in the interests of people like you or I, Gusmac.

The master plan is simply to see if people like you can wake-up, on mass, and change things for the better, instead of going down that same-old road.

Well your in for a long wait

I am, if people like you don't wake-up and start questioning what you believe and why, and then decide not to repeat past mistakes.

Yes the Union let a few in, But the Master Curry muncher himself is actively trying to encourage many many hundreds of thousands more to bung up this tiny country, your beloved Scottish bloodline is going to be diluted to the point of extinction, and it certainly wont be the English nor the Union that's going to be Scotland's biggest threat to a national identity, its going to be a million other Interlouper's from all around the globe, You should also get out more and look more closely at Scotland 2012, or at the very least have you eyes tested.

The union let a few in????
Like Elana Trump had a few pairs of shoes or Richard Branson has a few quid. Kid yerself on Britnat. your fooling nobody there, not even yourself.
BTW it's about nationality, not bloodline. Mine isn't as blue as yours.
As Tone pointed out, were all Scots. Even reluctant ones like you.

So, having en mass woken up to the reality you preach, what next?

So the thread title is total bollox then?

Suggestion - shouldn't there be single Scottish politics thread for this kind of stuff, since this is a taxi forum supposedly, but most of the threads in this section are about politics.

Then those who visit the site to discuss taxi issues can more obviously know which threads not to bother reading.

It's not a reality you are incapable of seeing for yourself, if you choose to look for it.

You did agree that:

It's simply not in the interests of the super rich or their political puppets to represent your interests.

Now ask yourself:

Is there total transparency of government – NO?

Are politicians held directly accountable, by their electorate -NO?

So why should your elected officials represent your interest before their own or that of big business?


Without transparency and accountability it's only a veneer of democracy, which benefits the super rich and their puppets the political class.

This is what you are really voting for when your tick goes in the box for the SNP.

Still no answers then skull? Just the usual superior attitude and yet more questions.
Perhaps we will have to wait for Chomsky to answer for you?



While we wait for Chomsky, perhaps you can tell us what would be different should we tick one of the other boxes?
Do they give you transparent government? NO
Are their politicians held directly accountable, by their electorate? NO
Do their elected officials represent our interest before their own or that of big business? NO

Why then do you single out the SNP and the independence movement for your venom when the UK and the unionist politicians are at least as bad?
Deeply held views? Maybe, but I don't think so
If that were the only reason, you would despise both sides equally. Perhaps you do, but that's just not what's coming across here.

I'm reminded of the words of Winston Churchill on this one.
“It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that have been tried.”
