General election

[Sitting Duck]

I seriously do not want to think about what this country will be like in 5 years time.

Probably more SNP in Parliment - they didn't get every seat

As for other leaders resigning - they just following the example set after the Scottish vote

I'm done - like I said most of UK wouldn't want the goverment we got - The public UK or Scottish are thick as $hit

A bit of a shock to all the so called experts - jeez should of put a bet on I reckon - would be the most I got out Cameron for a while

Seriously - it's done and I'm going back to more serious stuff like peee peee peeoww with my toy guns

Only 5 more years of listening to the Jocks whinging, fantastic......

 

[Ian_Gere]

In the grand scheme of things "Jock" is not as offensive as some racial epithets, but it has been used elsewhere in contentious negative contexts, so let's just leave it out, lads, OK?

 

[EvilMonkee]

Nah cos it winds up Jambo88 ;p

He does bite a bit doesn't he. ☺

 

[AirsoftTed]

To be fair it winds me up aswell, I just don't bite. It's like calling a Protestant an Orange man or a Catholic a Fenian. It's not the word that's always offensive, its the intent behind it and the context it's usually used in. Whenver I've been called a Fenian it's never been in the context of "Oh, what a wonderful Fenian man you are, be safe on your travels and I hope you don't burn in hell at any point" .

Nor is Jock usually used in a complimentary context. It's used to be demeaning for the most part. It's the same amount of letters and syllables as Scot, why use it? And Jockistan is just going out of your way, Scotland is shorter - so why bother?

 

[ImTriggerHappy]

I have known a few Scottish lads who have had Jock as a nickname it was never meant derogatory or taken that way. Some people can make or take anything badly I suppose so is probably best left.

god yeah GRRRRRR some wee prick has called me a jock I'm totally wound up.

 

[EvilMonkee]

Well I am a Paddy, get called Paddy at work and it doesn't bother me at all.....

Jockistan is a joke but I think comparing the place to some god forsaken hell hole ran by absolute nutters (especially in the light of the election) kinda fits.

Its not our fault a conservatives got in.

 

[EvilMonkee]

On the contrary I do believe it is......

How do you come to this?

 

[BBrotherwood]

How do you come to this?

Because no one wanted a half assed Labour Government that was hoping it would get policies through parliament by relying on SNP support. Which would of meant the SNP would have held parliament to ransom. Therefore people voted otherwise to make sure this was not the case.

 

[EvilMonkee]

Simple maths? You lot swallowed the nationalism pill and all voted SNP, Labour lost 50 odds seats. Tories have a majority of 12. Figure it out.

the Tories have nearly 100 more seats than labour so it didn't matter how Scotland voted. The SNP were also part in of the Tory block and were willing to work with labour. It was england that voted a conservative government not us. We voted for the party that is best for scotland

So English voters were scared that Scotland could have a say in how the country is run? Is running the country a job only the English can do? What a fantastic job you've been doing so far.

 

[EvilMonkee]

Didnt matter? yes it did - if those seats had stayed Labour, we would now have a Labour Government. Just showing that the SNP still cant add up.......

 

[EvilMonkee]

English voters object to Scotland having a say in their affairs, we gave you devolution to run your own, why should you stick your nose in ours? You want to run Scotland, go do it, but don't expect it to be a one way deal.

 

[EvilMonkee]

Time for this thread to be locked I think...

Or maybe, just maybe, the English voted as they normally do for the usual parties for the most part.

Evidently a lot of the Sottish population prefer an English government going off that logic, given you know, you just had a referendum and decided to stay
