UKPoacher Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 In my view only people in Scotland should vote, whatever nationality they maybe. Temporary expats and diaspora should not be entitled to vote. As to your comment about Scots sitting in English constituencies if I were you I'd keep quiet as that could open up an interesting discussion with your new PW name "UKDoing puratory on the outskirts of Sheffield pending a move to FrancePoacher"........ Quite how you deem it hypocrisy I don't know? What is hypocritical about moving to France? I'm not intending voting there or setting up as a Parliamentary Candidate. And, I shan't be continually crowing about how good the old country is like you Jocks who don't stay in Scotland but keep telling everyone how wonderful it is.

shaun4860 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 No you're not, I throw my vote away too! :-) I was going to ask if you're free for a spontaneous trip to Braidwoods but have too much to do and can't really get away. And it's a lovely day for it! Nial You have PM! Watch out guys, the Scots are gathering :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKPoacher Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Him and the untold numbers on various Internet forums who defend Scotland to death but can't bring themselves to live there. Let's fsce it; how can the SNP realistically say that English should not have a say in Scottish matters with all the Scottish MPs in England? They've been meddling in English Government for years. Never mind the anniversary of Bannockburn. I think we should have the vote on April 17th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I don't know a single person who wants this othe than the extremist patriot lunatics in both the Scottish side and the English side... Although sitting talking about it with my mother in law and wife I thought of a scenario...all the lunatics vote and get thier independence, and the armed forces went with England and then England invade Scotland an claim it!

UKPoacher Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Who voted them in? Doesn't matter who voted them in. If the SNP are saying that the UK Parliament has no right to involve themselves in Scottish matters then Scottish MPs should keep the **** out of English matters. Somehow I don't see that heppening.

As was posted a while back; You lot want the penny and the bun. Independence with subsidies. Of course it matters. If you don't want Scottish MPs down south, then don't vote them in! "You lot". Because "Us lot", all have the same views and want the same things? That's like saying you lot all eat pie and mash, whilst dancing round the May pole...

Some Scottish MPs may be very welcome in the UK. But if the SNP state that Englih politicians houldn't have a say in Scottish matters then surely the same applies down here. Or is the hypocrisy lost on you lot - The Nationalists? As I said; the SNP want the penny and the bun. MaxDev my *****! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not intending voting there or setting up as a Parliamentary Candidate. And, I shan't be continually crowing about how good the old country is like you Jocks who don't stay in Scotland but keep telling everyone how wonderful it is. Sorry, I didn't phrase it correctly. My point was what is hypocritical about a Scottish MP's sitting in English Constituencies? Under the law you could move to Midlothian, woo me with your charisma and we could vote you in. All perfectly acceptable. Remember English constituents voted the Scot into their constituency......so who is to blame for having a jock as their sitting MP? Doesn't take an Einstein..... Which leads me onto the main point about hypocrisy which is that you want aliens (Scottish MP's) to return to the home country whilst you are leaving your home country to go and live in another!

Cannon Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 How do you tell what clan a Scotsman is from? You put your hand up his kilt and if he has a quarter pounder with cheese, he's from MacDonald's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
