The Political Thread

[von Boom]

Congratulations to you and your wife, IP!

[Jim_Campbell]

Great news,  IP!

Very much seconded.

[Bolt-01]

Ah, IP -- that's great news and hopefully a huge weight from both of your shoulders.

[Funt Solo]

Congratulations from me also, IP. Great news after all the worry.

Thanks, all. It's a big relief. She had settled status already, but, well, this government... So now she has a fancy certificate of naturalisation, a commemorative pen, and... the right to vote.

the right to vote.

An elegant weapon for a more civilised age.

[The Legendary Shark]

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

[paddykafka]

Glad to hear your good news, IP!

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

That could be the Trump political slogan.

[The Legendary Shark]

Too many syllables.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Delighted to hear the good news, IP!

[The Legendary Shark]

Whilst I can't congratulate you for what you've done due to the whole what-the-f*ck's-it-got-to-do-with-the-f*cking-state-anywav? vibe I've got going on over here, I am, truly, happy that you're happy, IP.

Scotland is now recording the highest ever polling levels in favour of independence. Once the reality of Brexit is apparent on the ground then I'd expect these levels to rise again. The UK appears to be in its dying days:

Aye. Putin will be rewarding his cyber Psyops team for a job well done.

[Funt Solo]

Not sure if the Putin comment is a joke or not.

Certainly, Scottish voters have been demonstrably marginalized by Westminster for many a long year.
