England 
Nicola Sturgeon to appeal against England vs Scotland result

Quote:
Nicola Sturgeon believes the result of the England vs Scotland game yesterday was ‘wrong’ and will fight for it to be overturned.

The 3-0 defeat was the wrong result for Scotland, she said, and pledged to do everything in her power to reverse the scoreline no matter how long it takes.

Nice one, I always wonder how her concept of leaving EU is so bad but leaving UK is so good works.

She's certainly appears confused. She wants to leave to UK because she hates a 'London' based government. However she'd rather stay in EU and be run from a Brussels and largely non-elected crowd.

It is interesting to wonder how 5m Scots would fund a worldwide set of embassies, contribute to NATO et. etc. as a go it alone independent nation.

Firstly I'd like to clarify that I do not support the SNP...but it does irk me somewhat that many people do not understand that we already do partially fund a worldwide set of embassies, contribute to NATO etc., as do the Welsh, N Irish etc. in the fact that we are currently part of a Union - it is NOT English embassies - it is BRITISH embassies.

Nicola is somewhat embarrassing most of us Scots, but the above quote is just a snippet of the underlying problem, in that many English fail to understand that Scotland contributes, and contributes very well, but due to population numbers is very under represented in Government. Obviously English MP's look out for their own interests (as would be expected) so Scotland basically has a worthless representation.

I've worked in countries with British Expats from Brazil to China, and many places in between (currently Middle East, where I am right now) so have worked with many English (and other British - mostly great guys), and there is a common misunderstanding on the whole independence issue. Unfortunately the media distorts everything to their advantage, and the unknowing population swallows it hook, line and sinker...

P.s. I hate political discussions, but this one does get to me.

Whichever side of the Nicola fence you may be on, it is a bit of a concern that she is setting herself up for this sort of ridicule in the media (with their own agendas) and the public are told what to think by the media. Regretfully it is for Nicola to find a way through the mire. Whether you like her or not it is important to have a healthy debate on issues to keep those in power on their toes. Robin

But the media should show facts, not fiction.

Take the recent American elections, made Trump out to be a racist and every other bad type of person when he is in fact married to an immigrant! He was playing the political game telling the audience what they wanted to hear just to get votes, then the media twists it all and the gullible worldwide audience bought it. The media are terrified of him as the other politicians are under the media control, but Trump probably isn't.

Same with British politics...if a politician doesn't conform then anything is twisted to suit the media agenda, then the population actually believes it. At the moment the media are playing with Nicola, and I find a lot of it funny but certainly don't believe it. It amazed me when I started watching media from outside the UK, just how bad the UK media actually is, especially the BBC..the supposed worldwide standard in media. It embarrasses me to hear the proud Brits who are a bygone power, just a tiny blob in the ocean still thinking they are a world power...other countries are laughing at us, but the media still plays it this way so the population believes it!

Lets face it, most British voters vote according to the promises/price of fags, booze and petrol...not exactly educated votes now is it? 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Well one of the Highland newspapers had the proud headline "Scot's businessman elected US President" last Wednesday! Trump owns 2 world class golfing facilities in Scotland and is proud to be the offspring of a Scottish mother (I bet the Irish were glad that he doesn't appear to have Irish antecedents, one less presidential entourage to deal with). Also don't forget that Trump's first wife was also an immigrant - Irvana Trump was Hungarian or Lathvian IIRC 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
