Oh fuck. This thread is now affected by missing-the-point-about-the-independence-referendum.

More missing the point of geography....but whatever, eh? :)

Trout knows what the point of the independence referendum is! Don't keep the rest of us in the dark, but please be aware that whatever answer you give will see either Salmond or Lamont holding up a print out of this thread at first minister's questions as an example of vile and hateful internet abuse.


Trout

Yeah, let's not.

And Proudhuff, I wasn't meaning you.

I feel a bit sorry for Campbell. He's not a bad lad.

I couldn't have told you who he was until 12 o'clock this afternoon - he's just been caught up in the silly tit-for-tat of the least interesting aspect of the debate. If this and the headlines about JK Rowling being savaged by trolls after her donation to the No, Thanks campaign are part of the unionist camp's attempts to win over or engage swithering voters, I don't think much of their strategy.

Whats he gone and done now? :P

Whats gone and ground my gears is reading an article about the cost of the F35 fighter plane where they compared its spiraling costs with the cost of building a fleet of space shuttles.

The biggest obstacle isn't the staggering amount of money that it costs to go to space, it's that the staggering amount of money is better spent on blowing things up in shinier ways. Even when that shinier way is not necessarily going to be any better than the existing way.

A few months ago I expressed my stance on the independence referendum over on the Politics Thread. I was wary of it being a topic of discussion back then and, given what has been in the news of late, I am even more so now. It is too emotive an issue and life's too short for people to fall out over it - not that anybody has but there's always the danger. We're all The Mighty One's bairns.

Ah hell, what do I know? Carry on.
Whatever happened to Rico, Dolman and Cadet Paris? I'm sooo out of the loop.

That's the whole point of a politics thread... it's an iso-cube for sticky discussion.

Not that Campbell. Different Campbell.

And yes, I agree that politics should stay within its properly-ringfenced thread.
