Apart from the wooden answer here is another example of back tracking.
Remember the standing ovation Sturgeon got at the party conference when she announced she would be creating a public energy non profit making company.
BTW hear the We've set new ambitious net zero targets

What a damp squib Leslie Riddochs YES gathering in Edinburgh was last night.
Sparsely attended and apathy reigned throughout. 5 panellists and none thought another indyref soon was a good idea.
(One of the panellists was an snp msp? and some had even given up on the idea altogether.
The dream (nightmare) is over.

Ok had time for a 2 minute google. MMLiars post above says Scottish exports per capita are £17,546 per head.
Scottish Enterprise say Scottish Exports (Ex UK) were £33.8 billion in 2018 which is just 6.2k per head. Including the UK it's
however 15.7k per head. For the same period UK exports were approx 9.5k per head (actually higher than Scotland, ex UK).
So you can see what they've done there. They've dishonestly defined all the "Exports" from Scotland including "Exports" to the UK for one figure, then for the UK measured it as Exports going outside the UK boundary only. They are measuring totally different figures. Obviously if you did the excat same for any arbitrary region in England, say Yorkshire, all the trade that Yorkshire does with the rest of the UK would suddenly be HUGELY higher if you defined them as "Exports". It's dishonest.
It's comparing Apples with Oranges. This is the sort of crap Scottish Separatists come out with.

why would scotland export more than england? what do they produce there? are they counting oil to england?
That's what I'm saying, ex UK, by the figures I just looked at, Scotland exports less outside the UK.
What they are doing is dishonestly using any movement from anything to anywhere else in the UK as an "Export" for Scotland then saying that only things that leave the UK are UK "Exports" for the UK. Obviously the huge amount of inter country trade the UK does being on one side considered an "Export" is going to be hugely higher than another figure that only considers things that exit the UK as an Export, which is a totally different definition.
And as I say if any region of the UK did that, their "Export" figure would shoot up. Scottish Borders Cheese sold in Newcastle Tesco = Export. Newcastle Brown Ale sold in Edinburgh Tesco = Not an Export.

And the saddest part, as again detailed above and anywhere you look , the majority of Scottish "Exports" are to the UK, to which the geniuses in the SNP etc want to apply a hard border, as apparently the exact same hard border with the EU (which makes up a relatively small amount of Scottish trade) is "too high".
It makes absolutely NO economic sense, it only makes sense if you are a bigot who hates the English. See the people above.

As we can see from snp posts they are very dishonest . Don’t trust snp voters - they don’t deserve to be trusted
There is nothing wrong with English people campaigning for Scottish independence
And of course there is nothing wrong in Scottish people wanting Scottish independence either that is fine
the problem is the snp and their dishonest ways and let’s say some of their followers

I'll guarantee you that no more than 10%, if that, in that crowd are English.

In the last 24 hours Scotland has recorded 50 deaths related to coronavirus which is the highest daily count reported since February 23, 2021.

Thank god Nicola Sturgeon protected us from the worst excesses of Bozo Bunters policies which resulted in 45% less covid deaths per 100,000 than England. lots of Scotlands citizens alive today thanks to her actions,that includes many Quislingingers and Scotiaphobes who should be gratefull and beg forgiveness.
Absolutely appalling how the snp, and their supporters, use children in this fashion.
Shameful behaviour and an abuse of these children.
Says a lot about you malushka that you see nothing wrong with that image.

Especially when the snp are talking of legislation to stop anyone under the age of 24 being sent to prison.
Why? Because they say the brain doesn't fully develop until that age.

You started a thread last week about Boris and Biden getting 'their special relationship' back on track, how did that turn out? Were you bitterly disappointed? were you talking pony? Says a lot about you really, ie thick as ****.
Does **** mean lapsy because that would be a real insult.
You are showing yourself up,you are attacking mmmauska and your Biden thread was laughable,you have no self awareness.
I think most people would have seen the humour in it but I suppose you weegie would be irish guys don't really do humour.
Pity that but still never mind we can't all be happy.

Not surprised lapsy that you don't see the exploitation in malushkas image.
Or maybe you do but are sweeping it under the carpet.

No humour in your reply to him except a fairly nasty insinuation.
A fairly nasty insinuation. What that he should know that this is exploitation?
Double standards.
Akabula appears to dislike a quite correct argument that freedom for Scotland will benefit the next generation. Yet he does not seem to have objected to the racist lies of the brexit campaign about millions of brown skinned Turkish people queueing up to enter the UK if we did not vote brexit.
Now that was exploitation. The poster for Scottish independence exploits nobody.
But of course the person who pretends to be Scottish whilst really hating Scotland through ever pore in his body will never accept this truth.

So lfc points out what some celtic supporters do and you're branding him sectarian for that.
I do not have to answer you less than intelligentcquestion pal and stop wriggling. Everyone can see you making yourself look foolish,
Don't respond to akabula. Block him. He is only here to be personally abusive to other forum members.

I will retract when he points out what the other side of the Sectarian divide does and condemns that.

ok , sometimes the questions more important than the answer - more revealing
Don’t start preaching CoT when people like you with that sort of mindset start to preach something within me
starts to laugh , and jeer

What sectarian songs are sung at Ibrox CoT?
Been quite a while since I last heard one.

Rather than waving Tricolors and singing IRA songs, the Irish government are rising pensions and welfare due to higher inflation.
Or paradoxically Lfc maybe Boris and co can wave Tricolors and sing IRA songs,they may even get something right? None of the UKS problems over there,the EU lorry drivers you are begging for are not coming due to the likes of yourself(source Marco Digioia) and who could blame them.

Theres a vid doing the rounds showing Rangers fans singing when walking into Glasgow town centre.
Big problem with it is that there is clapping going on along with the singing yet no one is clapping in the vid.
A good attempt at smearing that went astray.

Okay
Celtic supporters waving Irish flags is tricky as many many of the Celtic fans are Irish by descent. So its tricky to condemn that - a bit like condemning a Jamaican from wearing the flag of his country here.
Not sure why Rangers fans often seem to wave the English flag but I woukd not condemn that either really. Its just a bit odd!
Singing IRA songs is a different matter and absolutely to be condemned yes as are the songs about King Billy and the potato famine by Rangers fans of course.

@CoT the famine song is atrocious but it hasn't been sung at ibrox for years.
The vid doing the rounds of fans outside the stadium singing it is a fake.
Watch it and tell me who is doing the clapping? Obviously added.
And why is singing about King Billy sectarian? It is a piece of our history.

That chanting about Brendan Rodgers is recent however about a real person alive today with a family
The difference is doing it rather than lip service Lfc(childrens future)
I think it’s important not to accuse people on this forum of being sectarian or bigoted or racist
I have not seen any evidence that they are , not a single person
That’s a good thing ! don’t ruin it by throwing about accusations

The UK government awarded a contract to the Rosyth shipbuilders for 5 type 31 Frigates.
This keeps the shipyards going for many a year to come, allows them to increase the workforce and take on over 100 apprentices.
Meanwhile the Scottish government awarded the contracts to build 3 Ferries to 3 different countries. Why turn our backs on Fergusons who we own?

I couldn't comment on the shipbuilding as i don't know the reasons about it but on that it seems wrong.
As an aside re 'children' many are spoilt,want everything for nothing and the work ethic is disappearing,far from all but many imo.

If that image that malushka posted was just of a bunch of kids playing, with normal T_Shirts and not the YES ones, then there would be nothing wrong with it.
To show them the way id does is exploitation and shameful.

Ok,i much prefer the 'unionist'image anyway and surely no one could have any issues with that one.
You'll have to explain that lapsy, doesn't make much sense to me.
BTW thats an old image from a vid that was universally condemned and hastily withdrawn.
Theres a clue in the vid who was behind it.
