I see I’m still living rent free in your head bud: luckily there’s plenty of room in such an empty space. All I’ve found so far is a well thumbed Collected Works of Enoch Powell and a weird shrine to Nigel Farage. As to the content of your barely verbal contribution:
And as usual WHITE FLIGHT ELLIS the hypocrite who left his beautiful home after 25 years in the south of england because of the HORDES of channel crossers now wants Scotland to be subsumed then consumed by engerland
In truth, I left my beautiful home because I wanted to come back to Scotland having paid off my mortgage, and the motivation wasn’t to flee the “HORDES of channel crossers” as you so xenophobically put it, but to flee the gammons and nativists in Engerlund with whom you and the nativists soiling BTL in here have so much in common. I’m not sure how that can be described as hypocritcal. Perhaps it made sense in your head….we can hear the grinding noise from here.
His stupidity insists that ALBA’s open borders and open franchise policy has the maximum support of voters which returned 1.5% of the electorate
It’s not my stupidity Twatbyname, civic nationalism represents the views of the overwhelming majority of Scots, and of pro-independence Scots. No party was standing on a platform of franchise restriction, or closing borders or restricting the franchise. If they were mad enough to do so, I imagine they’d poll even lower than Alba just did.
Of course if you and your xenophobic, bigoted moonhowling mates were that confident, doubtless you’ll set up your own party to push for your Faragist vision: “Tartan Reform” perhaps? See how far that get’s you.
YET the newly formed Reform party which is vehemently against immigration gained 7% of the electorate
ELLIS insists that these were all racist voters and they don’t count because they didn’t abide by the civic progressive mantra, but surely 7% is a higher number than 1.5% and if they were elected would ELLIS move somewhere else
I’m not sure summoning the ghost of Reform is a great approach in Scotland. Wanting to be like the worst sections of the already widely reviled Tory party in Scotland wouldn’t appear to be a great strategy….but fill yer boots mate, see how many folk sign up!
I imagine a whole lot of the 7% misguided enough to support Reform in Scotlands are bona fide racists, or at best would be considered xenophobic bigots, so I can see how you and the usual suspects in here banging on about franchise restriction and “we wuz robbed by furriners” type would feel right at home in such an organisation.
I’m pretty confident they’d never, ever gain power in Scotland even if they managed to win an MSP or two on the list like the Greens did with a similar % of support. I’d hate to see them elected, but it wouldn’t prompt me to leave: I’m too settled now to think about moving.
Given what’s happened in the UK and Scotland over the past decade, I’d definitely have thought of moving elsewhere if I’d realised how gutless most of my fellow countrymen appear to be. It’s been an eye opener too that so many are prepared to adopt the regressive, nativist views common amongst so many little Englanders and to ditch civic nationalism. Just goes to show you can fool some of the people all of the time, and that any mass movement will have a leavening of moonhowlers and regressive scumbags.
