Comment Re:The over-65's swung it for No (Score 1) 474

At which point have I ever commented on whether No campaigners were misbehaving? Are you suggesting that justifies the violence, intimidation and lies from the Yes campaign that you find it so hard to acknowledge did take place?

As for Jim Sillars his other comments show him to be a small minded pathetic bully but no, that doesn't justify physically assaulting him.

Your denial is boring, I'm leaving this conversation. Be nice to people or get the fuck out of my country.

I've had that too - getting abuse for holding a door open for a woman.

Clearly she felt that she was a precious snowflake and that I was making an unwanted advance to her.

Curiously the other 17 men and women I held a door open for that day welcomed my advance, mostly going as far as to actually thank me for it. I guess they appreciated the simple courtesy of holding a door open for them.

Hint, pressing your body up against an unwilling partner is unwanted sexual contact.

Greeting someone with a hug is not sexual contact, unwanted or otherwise.

How the fuck is someone meant to know when you do and don't hug anyway.

It may be a social faux-pas, but trust me, it's equally fucking awkward when you have Aspergers and people actually expect a hug.

Or are you telling me that all those women I know are actually making sexual overtures when they expect me to hug them?

So sorry but I give no fucking credibility to a study that treats greeting hugs as 'sexual assault'.

At a recent professional meeting, a woman made suggestive sexual remarks to me about a computer program

I'm sorry, I don't know how to break this to you gently over the internet, but.. you've been sexually abused. You're a victim of harassment. You should seek support to help you recover.

Oh hang on - are you a man? No, go fuck yourself.

The militant yes voters physically attacking no campaigners are a figment of your imagination

See, you've just demonstrated perfectly why the 'yes' campaign failed: A personal attack on someone because they made a statement you disagreed with, while pretending the evidence that proves them correct doesn't exist - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new...

There were plenty of experts who supported the SNP's position on EU membership and currency.

The BBC reported both positions on EU membership and currency That includes the lawyers and politicians that said Scotland would be fine joining the EU and the senior politicians in multiple countries and in EU positions that said that membership would not be smooth sailing.

On currency the 'yes' campaign kept bleating that they could have currency union. Is it really journalistic bias to explore whether that's really the case, given the number of people that said "no, you can't". Currency was a major issue in the referendum and it was continually in the news in an anti-'yes campaign' tone because the yes campaign had no fucking answers.

Sorry but I get bored of the continual "the BBC is biased" bullshit. Yes, at times it is, but far too fucking often "the BBC is biased" is actually whining that "the BBC didn't show an obvious bias to my point of view" or "how fucking dare the BBC let someone else have an opinion". Guess where I'd place you.

On the referendum I see the constant stream of stories about Salmond and relative lack of challenge to his continual bluster, bullshit and rhetoric as pretty fucking clear evidence that there was not a bias.

Yeah, but put this in context. This is Glasgow, on a Friday night. There were some scuffles in Nottingham, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Newcastle, London, Cardiff, Derby, Northampton, Bristol, Edinburgh, Southampton, Dundee, Swansea and Gloucester tonight too.

I haven't seen the word 'Separatists' in general usage. Here in England the Scottish nationalists have been referred to as 'Nationalists' or 'Yes campaigners'.

I'm also confused by your comments about people being from 'the UK' or 'from Britain'. You do realise that they're different? You do realise however that citizens of the UK are British, not United Kingdomians?

Finally I really don't understand why you think that people wanting to leave the union are 'shit on'. I don't see them being treated any worse than anybody else.

On the whole your comments come across as ill informed, naive and curiously hostile.

Maybe the over 65s are the ones that aren't taken in by the lies, misdirection and naive optimism of the fishy politicians in the SNP?

Perhaps they remembered that although Scotland didn't vote in the current Government, it did vote in the previous one which caused many of the current economic problems.

Could they even have noticed that despite all the calls of bullying the only bullies in the debate were members of the SNP?

Or possibly you're right, and it was all just media bias and an inability for the propaganda to reach them.
