Agree wit...Excellent stuff and have shared widely.<br /><br />Agree with HA, above; a SOAPBOX (new facility) classic share for Wings over Scotland.<br /><br />On the age issue, my mother is 84; she is an Auld Scots Tory, in its proper sense, and is a great admirer of our current FM and previous FM (Emeritus FM Alex Salmond).<br /><br />These elements your refer to from the gowf course and club are fcukwit dinosaur relics whose only moral compass is brute, petty selfishness no matter how well they may have done in business for they are about to fcuk up that option, too, for their successors because the pig ignorant blinkers they willfully wear and attempt to illegally impose on their fellow sovereign Scots.<br /><br />Their day in the sun is fast running out both physically and constitutionally in terms of the imposed Treaty of Union (and my Hell slap it into them, accordingly).<br /><br />Hate to say this, but they are the seed bed of the current resurgence of neo-fascism in their hallowed UK, each and every Lord Haw Haw-Hee Haw one of them, and they need to be democratically stopped at the Gates of our Scots Thermopylae.<br /><br />Their must be no more room for closet Nazis manipulating the body politic agenda in a truly democratic and re-independent Scotland.<br /><br />Thank you again for this, and please forgive my rant:)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975588480290026016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042131604091564151.post-87454491029451364282017-01-21T17:35:49.475+00:002017-01-21T17:35:49.475+00:00I sometimes see this at my golf club too.

I thought Mrs Thatcher was great."<br /><br />That's why so many over 70s are like that, they're just Tories.Andrew Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562143171249446260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042131604091564151.post-90749842311235269382017-01-21T15:18:04.000+00:002017-01-21T15:18:04.000+00:00Excellent article Peter, should have this on WoS. ...Excellent article Peter, should have this on WoS. I will mention it, or post a link if that's ok. <br /><br />East Neuk, I wonder if these people have grandchildren, maybe some who are at Uni, who will not end up with a massive debt from tuition fees, even if they are very well off. I wonder if these guys have bus passes, or need prescriptions, or even good NHS healthcare. Maybe not, they might go down the private route, though not all want to spend their savings/pensions on private healthcare. <br /><br />I wonder if these guys take the winter fuel payment, a nice wee bonus from the WM UKOK admin. These people just do not realise, or even want to, that Scotland is being governed extremely well by their hated SNP. These type of people are selfish, blinkered, self serving, nasty, greedy gits basically. Sickening really, they would see Scotland run down, and asset stripped to the point of utter ruin, as long as they are alright jack! Disgusting really. Does anywhere else in the world have people living there, reaping the benefits of that country, but going out of their way to do down, and ridicule their own country and the people of their country who voted democratically for the government who works for the good of their country and them, against huge odds! <br /><br />I wonder what they would rather have, ask them next time. What is it you think a unionist right wing government could do better in Scotland under devolution? What is you want? <br />Tuition fees? The bedroom tax? No human rights for your kids and grandkids? A privatised NHS? Just what do you think the future holds, and how might it differ under WM rule, extreme right wing rule, while isolated and at the mercy of the US, is that what you want? hettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336425954068503728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042131604091564151.post-26866631998821016272017-01-20T23:42:54.565+00:002017-01-20T23:42:54.565+00:00Couldn't agree more, similar bunch of over sev...Couldn't agree more, similar bunch of over seventies golfers and hangers on in my local bar were making really nasty remarks about Ms Sturgeon last night, and lauding May and Brexit. No real argument or basis for it, just sheer nastiness. <br />I did not address it directly, but made clear, quite loudly, my opinion about what they were saying to my drinking companion. As I left, I could hear, behind my back, very nasty comments about me.<br />Next time my words will be directed straight to them, and they can reply straight to me. We have to face up to this poisonous stuff. <br />These we may be able to convince we must spend time on. People like those we have both described need to be confronted and publicly challenged.
