And the media are making a big deal out of St George's Day - which usually, as far as I know, passes almost entirely without notice - and all because Flagshagger Keith felt the need to bore us with his EngNat rhetoric at the weekend.
Prick. #UKPolitics#GweriniaethCymru#ScottishIndependence#Think32#DisunitedKingdom
'For all the debate about what an independent Scotland or reunited Ireland might look like if the union collapsed, she writes, there was surprisingly little thought given to what kind of England might emerge from the wreckage.’
The Guardian would never countenance such heretical thoughts. Its is terribly middle class and ‘correct’.
@racingdaily While I agree with your main point, your myopic Anglo-centric response is fairly insulting. There are plenty of independent candidates standing, the Green Party exists, and the three nations that aren't England have Plaid, SNP, Sinn Fein and others.
You've also forgotten tactical voting. In some unfortunate situations, voting Labour may be the only way to kick out the Tories in a particular constituency. #GweriniaethCymru#UKPolitics#ScottishIndependence#Think32
"Starmer said: “The argument is simple. Democratic decisions are better made by local people with skin in the game. And devolution is absolutely essential for taking on regional inequality and unlocking that pride.”
The Labour leader promised a 'new Take Back Control Act' ... "
Excellent - we'll take back our water and energy and control our own decisions to rejoin the EU, please.
They will and are doing so for anyone who does not toe the WasteMonster line. It's not just pro independence, it is anyone who does not bow and tug their forelocks.
It took a long time for Welsh and Gaelic languages to be ‘allowed' to exist as one simple example.
Michelle O'Neill, FM of Northern Ireland: We'll have a reunification poll within a decade
Jeff: Shut up and talk about the stuff I like
UK Govt: The people we asked said dream on.
WTF?!?? Wanting to be in charge of our own country isn't "anti-English hatred". 😡
I guess they're getting worried about Welsh as well as Scottish Independence 👍 :baner: 🏴 🇮🇪
Telegraph: "How a Welsh town became a hotbed of anti-English hatred
A poison pen letter sent to an Aberystwyth resident reveals a potentially ‘toxic’ attitude towards the English as second homes proliferate"
@B31Bowden I'm sick of explaining to idiots like you that tactical voting is a thing and there are options for those of us who live in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that literally have no effect (except on our consciences) on the overall outcome of the election.
Almost all of Starmer's policies are Tory-lite anyway.
Try thinking like a grown-up for a minute. #UKPolitics#VoteLabourGetTory#AnnibynnolCymru#ScottishIndependence#Think32#DisunitedKingdom
@rayhindle
Seems it might be the latest scripted response by the Labour Party 🧐 🙄 🤬
Yvette Cooper on Sky News this morning. Sound familiar?
"A statehood of a people is not in the gift of it's neighbour. It is the right of a people, and the right of the Palestinian people"
A great point made by Ray, in response to my earlier post here 👇
"'Palestinian statehood is not in the gift of a neighbour, it's the inalienable right of the Palestinian people'"
Keir Starmer on ITV News yesterday.
Shame you didn't think of that three months ago you fucking ambulance chaser.
Edit: This was repeated verbatim by Yvette Cooper on Sky News this morning. #StarmerChameleon#UKPolitics#CeasefireNow
OK, this is getting boring. Any of you who want to reply to my Labour-critical posts by saying (adopts patronising whiny tone) "oh, well I guess you're voting Tory then", please remember that the United Kingdom is NOT just England and that tactical voting is a thing, otherwise I'm just going to explain it to you very slowly and sarcastically in tiny little words and then mute you. #VoteLabourGetTory#UKPolitics#AnnibynnolCymru#ScottishIndependence#Think32#DisunitedKingdom
