Re: the Scottish independence issue
My understanding is that like so many other things the legal system is not stand alone, there will be many areas to be looked into.

Did you answer the question about why you put such odd spacing in your writing? It makes you seem slightly mad.

I'm quite interested in what you have to say but it's hard to unravel it. I thought maybe you had an explanation.

I think my brain tries to figure out some kind of a pattern, but - he does have SOME punctuation that is correct, so that blows that theory! If it is some odd form of dyslexia, I'm curious to know what it is. I do know Indians put spaces in front of commas/periods. I'm also wondering if he is using some speech-to-text program, and if so, which one. Bottom line is, every post he makes has my brain trying to figure out his punctuation logic rather than reading the content!
On the Connery issue, obviously the bloke can live where he likes, but to dictate policy at 'home' when he doesn't want to pay taxes into that system rather weakens his position. |

You really believe what the polls say,if so you must be the only one.
In practice these days most opinion polls are a fairly good predictor of outcomes. If they weren't newspapers and other media wouldn't pay much for them. In the case of the Scottish independence question the opinion polls have rarely moved far from around 30% supporting independence, and about 50% opposed. That so many polls over a decade or more show such consistent results is a strong indication that the results have some meaning. |
Re: the Scottish independence issue
We could have a poll to say who's winning. But you probably wouldn't believe the result.

OK, as you were, back to arguing about Scotland. I'm off to buy my lottery tickets to go with my "Lucky 10,000th post" If I win, I plan to buy a house next door to Sir Sean on Lyford Cay. I'll wake him up every morning by shouting over the wall: "FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOMMMMMM ..... urgh!" |

Re: the Scottish independence issue
According to our own poll, conducted this last weekend, Salmond has made a big error in the mechanics of the referendum. He should have insisted the poll included ALL UK residents, not just Scottish residents.
If the referendum goes according to our highly representative sample of 12, the vote among Scots will be zero in favour of independence, but if the whole of the UK got to vote, those in favour of independence for Scotland would increase to almost 42%:rofl: There was a lengthy debate along the lines of "what have the Romans ever done for us", but it petered out after decent whisky and Rab C Nesbitt, with a short, but heated discussion as to whether Haggis should be considered a benefit or a blight. |
Re: the Scottish independence issue
Ps, should have added...there was only one true scot in the sample (unless you count the 1/16 Scottish American) and he is a lifelong Tory voter (you knew there had to be one somewhere) so may not be totally representative of the man on the Glasgow omnibus....;)

Re: the Scottish independence issue
Just to explain the Legal system comment, there has been a lot of discussion as to how the UK has given away its self determination on legal matters to the EU Courts, one of the issues anti EU parties mention all the time.
Scotland is one removed and will have a total mish mash, it would have to decide how it was to deal with the EU layer as a start. It would take decades to sort out. |

Thank you.
In particular the Scottish Mental Health Act. The secret court baby theft could not have happened in Scotland. Or at least she would not have been denied due process, she would have had the right to argue in court that she was not insane and should not have her pregnancy ended prematurely by Caesarian section. As it was the possibly false allegations of mental incompetence made against her were kept secret from her and she had no opportunity to challenge them. That would not have happened in Scotland. |
