Starmer says no [Scottish] independence referendum while he is prime minister
Starmer says no [Scottish] independence referendum while he is prime minister
The prime minister insists it is more important to focus on the economy than the constitution.
Added context is mine. Its like he wants the SNP to take over Holyrood next year. Not doing his little Englander image any good in Scotland with comments like this, just another colonialist
You're viewing a single thread.
That’s a bold word to use, considering Scotland got started on colonialism before England did, and the Scotch were the most vigorously committed members of the colonial service and military.
Didnae say we weren't. Wouldn't use that word to describe us today. Unlike Starmer
Why do Scot’s say didnae but not wouldnae?
As ye wudnae sae didnae tae yer ma, did ye?
Yo no hablo Scots, señor.
Scotch is a bold word to use when trying to take the moral high ground, you xenophobe.
Can you provide a source for your claim of being the most vigorously committed members or are you just talking out your arse?
The first English overseas expansion occurred as early as 1169, when the Norman invasion of Ireland began to establish English possessions in Ireland, with thousands of English and Welsh settlers arriving in Ireland.[3] As a result of this the Lordship of Ireland was claimed for centuries by the English monarch

Scotland's colonialism began in the 1600s, quite a bit later than the 1100s...
Chaps like Henry Dundas (literally put upon a pedestal, and former head of the EIC) made a vast amount of wealth that was used to build Scottish cities, found its banks and institutions. Scotland was obsessed with education, and what the educated did was they got work administering colonial affairs. And of course, the very enthusiastic colonisation of Ireland.
So literally nothing that the English and Welsh didn't also do. We were all bastards.
Olap's mention of Starmer being a colonialist is because he is outright denying the chance of a democratic process, regardless of what the Scottish electorate desire, like a colonialist would do. Not to mention his support for Israel, a true modern colonial power.
Maybe think next time before you go running to defend an antidemocratic genocide supporter and keep your bigotry to yourself.
I presume therefore as such a passionate advocate for democracy that, if Scotland became independent, you would support a decennial referendum on joining the UK? Or is only the “right” result worthy of being deemed a democratic process?
Scotch is a drink.
Well, if anyone would know, it’s you.
Why not just call my mum names while you're at it.
Was she also named after a chain of off-licences?
Was that before the union?
It fairly directly caused the union
