A big turnout for this is a MUST!!!!!

I'm a patriot and a proud Scot - and as far as I'm concerned you can stick your march and independence up your @rse.

As a patriot and a proud Scot I believe we're better off as part of the UK.

Not exactly A-list "entertainment", is it? I take it the Krankies weren't available?

Sorry, got a domino flyer this weekend. And I must watch the paint dry on next door's shed.

[peever1745]

As I though.You lot are just the same as the Jambo's. JockBrit unionist scum.Aye you must be used to sitting watching paint dry if you are a regular at Easter Road

[Stewart_HfC]

I don't see why this is getting slagged off - Simon if you're a patriot and proud Scot then you will know at least a wee bit about your country - enough to know that it is not better off in the union!! And saying that it is is plain and simple stupidness!

[AndyMcPake]

I will be on the march on Saturday.

I can't say I am happy Tommy Sheridan is speaking - he's a liar and a sleazebag as far as I'm concerned - but that is not a good reason for not going.

Scotland, despite being the most oil rich nation in Western Europe is also one of it's poorest. The idea that the Union is doing anything for us is laughable when you compare us to the other small Nation states of Europe such as Denmark, the Republic of Ireland, Belgium, and Norway.

All of these Countires, according to the United Nations, have higher life expectancies and lower rates of infant mortality. All have better living standards. All have their own states to better their living standards with. Spot the connection?

Are we Scots struggling because because we are naturally inferior? Or because decsions are made in Westminster only to favour our cousins in the South? Surely the person calling themselves a Scottish patriot (which for some bizarre and false reason many Unionists do) would not agree with the former. So surely they must agree with the latter?

I have nothing against the English themselves. But I do have a lot against the insanely undemocratic British state.

Take the nuclear issue for example. All of the UK's nuclear weapons are based in Scotland. The Scottish people oppose them by a majority but they are still in our Country.

Or immigration. Even the Scottish Parliament, with its' incompetent Labour administration, voted that dawn raids should not continue and that children should not be detained in Dungavel detension centre. This had the overwhelming support of the Scottish public. But in a one day whistle stop tour Tony McNulty gave a very firm no. We may have a Parliament but we are still very much dicated too by Westminster.

It is impossible to argue that the Union is democratic. It has never been democratically endorsed. The Scottish Parliament that signed it was elected by a handful of people whilst after its signing Scotland was engulfed by riots opposion it in Dumfires, Glasgow, and of course Edinburgh.

And there has never been a referendum since. The closed thing we have had to a vote on it was an attempt by the Scottish MPs in Westminister to repeal the act four years after it was signed which was voted down by rest of the Brit MPs.

All that this demonstration will ask is that there be a referendum on independence. If the Unionists are so confident that the benefits of the British state are clear to everyone then surely they should support this, in order to kill off the independence cause once and for all. And not only that but obtain a mandate to say that the Union its' self has been democratically endorsed.

But they don't. Because Unionism is not about democracy. It's about disenfranchising Scotland and not giving people here an equal say.

This is not about closing up the border and never allowing English people into Scotland again. Thanks to the Schengen agreement most neighbouring European Countires now enjoy a free movement of people. Our ties with the English PEOPLE will be unaffected, the only change is we will no longer be dicated to from Westminister.

Independence will be the democratic right to control the way our Country is run.That should be the democratic right of every people yet for the Scots it is not a reality.

This demonstration is something that asks Scottish people to believe in their own ability to change and better their Country. If you believe you can play a part in that come along.

Peever1745, Stujay, hope to see you on Saturday.

0002beahibby do you realise that Dougray Scott, who te quote on signature is from is an SSP supporter?

Given that the party supports independence and Saturday's march I would suspect that he would to.

[peever1745]

My apologies it seems you are not all unionist scum bags after all I think Simon70 lives on the Gorgie Road and is a closet Jambo.

I should think so. Your previous comment won't exactly persuade anyone to come along.

As it happens the majority on this board favour independence, the two above are but lonely voices in the dark

Consider yourself well and truly warned; referring to anybody who does not share your political views in those terms here is not acceptable.

The whole idea of this forum is that you discuss your views and debate the issues raised, and you haven't attempted to do that.

I use Dougray's quote because he's a Hibbie and thought it had a reasonance to it. Absolutely feck all to do with his politics, buddy.

You really should consider getting involved in politics you know.
Your ability to get everyone on your side through the clever use of words is quite incredible.



What a clown.
