Interesting view. I think they’re heroes. Manning especially, in exposing the squalid truth about needless murder committed by the US military no one is allowed to criticise, at massive personal risk to herself. She’ll always be a heroic figure to me. 

Lock him up!

Tinned though. We call them tins over here.

Assuming that there are no corpses yet to be discovered in her basement, she is both unhinged enough and committed enough to her guns that it’s surely only a matter of time.

Well. He's never shot anyone.

Wait, so I just have to be able to hear a similarity between two songs and then I can be declared legally sane again?

I know you’re using the word ‘conceptual’ but I suppose I still don’t understand why you feel you would need to pick an allegiance. An independent Scotland, once the dust had settled, would just be a country next door. It’s not like I wouldn’t still have friends in Northern Ireland and England, nor that family ties…

What some people call tying to get a fair deal for their country, others call bleating. This is the world we live in. The same world in which strong feelings are expressed about the ‘West Lothian Question’ from people who had no such strong feelings about Scotland having years of laws, austerity and Tory governments…

Trump supporters are always saying this man is so sharp. And even supposedly credible outlets like the BBC (which will casually prostrate itself before royalty, U.K. Nationalism or wealth) air descriptions of Trump ‘manipulating’ the media as if every error is shrewdly deliberate. What a fucking moron.

personally speaking it would grieve me to see Scotland remove itself from the United Kingdom

It’s a fallacy that everything rests on oil, and also that a country like Scotland couldn’t survive market forces any more than countries of similar size and population, of which there are many in Europe.

The EU’s position was always dubious given its aims, and possibly legally dubious given Scotland already is an EU member, albeit as part of the U.K. However, yes, of course they were going to say they wouldn’t have us, simply to avoid having to deal with change to the status quo. This is exactly the same tack the U.K.…

Please clarify: specifically what, was the only way (to do specifically what?)? If you care to explain that, I’ll tackle your second, dubious point.

Shooting spree: tasteless, I get it. However, I’m watching Barry just now and it’s had the main character shooting three people in quick succession in one episode (I’m only on episode three) and I assume it’s going to get worse He’s a mass murderer and yet also the loveable goof we’re meant to be rooting for.

I mean, if we’re being fair and equitable, given the dipshit in the White House, we really have to call this what it is: lying.

“Bloody Polish! Coming here, taking all the jobs we never wanted and doing them better than we would!”

A hell of a fucking lot of them were. Yes. I am say8ng this even if the OP isn't. 

I voted to remain but at this point I am resigned to the UK’s ridiculously stupid and xenophobic and corrupt Leave campaign getting its wish. Well done dickheads! But the upside is those dickheads are handing Scotland another chance to quit the U.K. (Scotland having previously been told staying with England was the…

When do we get to ban the bible, which is chock-full of demons?
