Remembering Kerry

Quote:
Scotland has its own parliament, an SNP government in place. What is wrong anyway with this if she is. I have great admiration for Nicola Sturgeon and I do think the SNP is doing good I'm govt. If I lived in Scotland I'd be happy to keep Nicola as first Minister for sure. |

Scotland voted no. They are still part of the UK. Nicola doesn't want to fly the flag though.... fine. We don't want to pay them more per head of capita than any other country in the UK. See how she likes that.

...hmm no, it’s just the anthem itself as an isolated thing/the tune/the lyrics etc I’m not keen on, Alf ...not patriotism that I’m lacking as such...I don’t find it as emotional as some others and for me an anthem should convey emotion ideally...I also don’t think a sovereignty is a nation’s representative in the present day in the same as it was back in the day of the penning of anthems..so a little too much about the queen herself, rather than our nation...I’m all for a great and patriotic anthem, just not really liking this particular one as much as I would like to...I’d just probably like to think about looking to change to a new Anthem is what I guess I’m trying to say...something more representative of the nation of today...maybe get Simon Cowell to look at that one to see if he could help there...

And every year at the rugby we have to listen to that dreadful old dirge... Flower of Scotland, which is about crushing the English - EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS AGO! You'd think you'd all be getting over it by now, Trumpet.

..I think that rebellious Scots to crush verse isn’t used anymore though...now we’ve realised they’re humans and not strange aliens wearing skirted garments...

...sorry Alf I think we’re at a little bit cross purposes here......the me, me, me wasn’t meant to indicate her being a selfish person in character...just more of an expression I used...she personally had no hand in the writing of the words of the anthem...apologies if my posts are a bit off in explaining stuff atm and quite confusing or misguiding etc...

Quote:
The vote was to stay part of the UK,how is democracy being flouted by this flag. Is Scotland now not in the UK because this flag is on display. The No,of course not. This is however the Scottish parliament not the UK government parliament. Were she insisting only the Scottish flag was on display at Westminster, you may have a point. As it is what on earth is wrong with her plan. It's for the Queens birthday and the Queen goes there,fly something to indicate she's there. Whatever Birthday it is. Why ask ONLY me Cherie anyway,others on this thread agree with Nicola too,you know. Last edited by joeysteele; 24-01-2018 at 11:36 AM. |

Rejecting Monarchy is snubbing Democracy? but they're two separate and diametrically opposed political philosophies. Hereditary rule (monarchy) is the opposite of democracy.
