Vacamion

Polls in 2014 varied between 35 and 51 for yes I fully accept that my observation was anecdotal, just based on what I feel and others around me who voted no last time have said to me, but if you think the recent chaos at Westminster has helped the cause of unionism, I would disagree.

This thread is all very well, but just get with the 21st Century and free the weed.

I *have* changed my mind since the Brexit vote - not about Brexit (I voted remain, despite the problems with the EU), but about Scottish Independence. Watching coverage of Westminster, especially recently, I see a lot of these overconfident safe seat Tory / ERG Old Etonians from the Home Counties, braying in parliamentary debates. They won't be any poorer, whatever happens. Some have already moved their money to safety. Having observed those guys, I now understand why people up here in Scotland might want to exist in a different polity. And since 2016, the whole "Yes, we'll be poorer but, err, flags and sovereignty..." thing has kind of lost its sting. I was a firm Unionist in 2014. Now, I am struggling to maintain affection for the Union. I suspect a lot of former "No" voters feel that way, so I reckon next time around, Scotland is offski.

He's had a very good innings, though...

Chelsea fans shoved that lad off the Paris Metro and sang something racist, didn’t they? I would have been stunned, ten years ago, if you’d told me we’d have a banana thrown on the pitch one week and racist abuse the next, with the leader of a right wing racist party on the march in London today. As a country we have regressed. You can’t help but think that the politics and divisions of recent years have emboldened those who think in that way.

Who was that Newcastle player strolling in midfield when they lost the ball? Shocking.

Sorry, but drop Iheanacho. Start Shinji.

Spurs were better than us and stifled us. To have them outclass us whilst commentators toss over Dele Alli is not nice. But we won when it mattered in 2016 and they will win bugger all. Ever. But, still, it’s horrible to see us being steamrollered like that, with hardly any threat without Vardy. On to the next one.

Look. Shinji san will come on and score. We won’t concede another. Maddison’s beard is lustrous when seen in the right light.

Great goal. Great player.

What, now?

Pwe started stronger, they got better. Pretty even.

All Spurs. Matter Of time.

Spurs expanding into this game...
