[Closed] Scotch nationalists: what will YOU do to support independent Catalunya?

Or is it all irrelevant to what you're interested in?

Pretty much. I'm interested in social justice rather than independence. It just so happens that I think independence is the best way to social justice.

I thought this was going to be a thread about my favourite drink...

It's a really odd question tbh. Everyone should support Catalonian self-determination, whether you're pro- or anti- Scottish independence. What will YOU do?

It doesn't have much impact on Scottish independence,or vice versa, except as a useful case study and inspiration, but democracy's democracy, isn't it.

I live in Scotland.
I am not a Nationalist.
I voted 'yes'.
Can I have an opinion, or do you have to be a Scottish born Nationalist to hold a view on such things?

Stopped reading at 'Scotch'.

I'm Scottish and a staunch Unionist but ignorant statement like your uninformed headline make me cringe and want to beat you like a sad extra from Braveheart! If you want political comment please do your research and don't insult everyone's intelligence! It's Scottish not Scotch! Half wit!

I've never understood the sensitivity to the term scotch.

I'll visit, if it helps. Might the SNP fund my trip ?

It's probably the same reason that people find "****" offensive.

hello, looks like the jocks are kicking off again

I'm not sensitive to it, I find it a useful diagnostic

Is it time for a fight?

My manky lunged friend text me the rest.

His peripheral vision picked up the rest of the title.

TBH, I'd be pleased if England went out - turgid, unimaginative kack IMO

The irony of pulling pulling someone up about their typing!

I doubt that the separatists in Catalonia have "social justice" very high on their agenda. I see them mostly as self-serving right-wing reactionists.

As part-Scottish I'm sure konabunny is fully aware of that.

konabunny's on form tonight 🙂

He's certainly on something.

Too much Scotch, perhaps?

I've always thought that when he's on full pisstaking mode konabunny provides unsurpassed entertainment value on here, sadly these days he tends to be more subdued.

As soon as I saw the thread's tittle I thought "here we go" 🙂

matt_outandabout/: I resent that racist implication that all Scots are alcoholics and demand you retract it, you disgusting imperialist.

(That's how this chippy Scotsman stuff goes, right?)

If an independent Catalonia fails, does that mean Scottish independence is dead for (another) decade?

fails? fails to keep EU membership? remember economically they are Ok

Scottish Independence is tied to staying in the EU, the oil price and keeping the pound

True. Who among us cannot remember the notorious "Scotch bashing" NF gangs of the 1980s or the ubiquitous "Scotch out" graffito? #neverforget

I don't find Scotch offensive but many Scots do.
It is you that seems to have a chip here konabunny. You started the thread with no real intention of wanting an answer to the question
Not sure why you are being such an arse. You are not punching yourself in the face between typing are you?

I like Scotch. Though tonight I'm mostly drinking a lovely home brewed wheat beer.

Good luck to the Catalans, everyone has a right to self determination, but I don't see it having any relevance to Scottish independence.

Did he suggest they did?

No, I made the point that imo I doubt that the separatists in Catalonia have "social justice" very high on their agenda. IMO the pro-independence movement, unlike in Scotland, is dominated by conservative parties. Is that not a valid point then?

It is you that seems to have a chip here konabunny.

If you think that then you misunderstand konabunny imo. And perhaps need to take light-hearted stuff a little less seriously.

konabunny has strong family links with Scotland iirc, and therefore a healthy sense of humour. Lighten up .......watch the Michael McIntyre clip 🙂

The referendum will be an interesting study for Scots on both sides of the Yes/No debate interns of ;
What worked (assuming the vote is for "independence") in terms of strategy
Whether a referendum held in a vacuum is worth anything (given the Spanish government is under no obligation to take any notice of the result)

@benn if everyone had self determination we In the UK would live in 60 million different countries

yep definately time for a fight to sort this scotch nonsense out. you get your team together and we will meet you at hadrians wall to sort it out once and for all.......never mind voting. 😀

Meh. You're not even Scottish

Not punching yourself in the face between typing posts are you?

What the ****?

Are you suggesting we move the border?

Nail. Head.
I was wondering what constituted 'scotch'.....

Shaken, not stirred?

Not entirely sure if that makes me a racist!?
