Party Political Broadcast by the SNP, General Election 2010

[Sharpy111]

This reminds me of the stuff I read regarding 14th century scottish rebellion, can we grow up please and realise its the 21st century, we all benefit each other. If you think Scotland is being "drained" of money now wait until it breaks away from the union, where is all that money going to come from, the drug riddled unemployed that fill scotland's streets?

[flammesombres]

@Sharpy111

How exactly do "we all benefit each other"? (Good luck finding some examples.) The video is silly, but I'd recommend looking into what the party is about and what it's achieved. Only a line like "the drug riddled unemployed that fill scotland's streets" could come from an ignorant English commentator; completely ignoring their own MASSIVE problems with crime, drugs, etc etc (in this regard, London *alone* makes Scotland look good).

[basch2020]

@flammesombres re: benefiting eachother. How about the ones filmed in this video? Job Centre is a pan-UK institution and has access to more resources /can recommend a wider number of vacancies as a result. Ditto with Royal Mail, their postal coding system has dramatically simplified direct mailing services across the country :)

SNPs separatist agenda with legislation and devolution has only resulted in unnecessarily high government expenditure, a larger deficit and more debt...

[flammesombres]

@basch2020 Devolution was put forward in the late '90s before the SNP came to power, so you can forget about that part of your "argument", and if you want to talk about real waste of money look at what New Labour did and what the Tories are now doing. Then there's the issue of England fleecing Scotland out of 90% of our oil and gas revenues for decades and keeping it under wraps. Your argument is not that we are spending money, it's that we don't deserve to spend money, right?

[basch2020]

@flammesombres Actually, I do not support any of the 3 main UK parties, I'm a liberal. The less government we have in our lives the better for everyone. One country does not need two parliaments, 3 assemblies and multiples of several other institutions and to maintain them is a reckless waste of taxpayers money.

If you want independance for Scotland, then by all means vote for it, but either way the government(/s) will need to massively reduce in size and expenditure.

[o0Gmanji0o]

@Sharpy111 Scotland can support it's self and that's what you bloody English just cant stand!! Scotland has more money profiting than you would even know about, or you would have probably just kept your mouth shut!! And you actually dare to slag off our streets after the state of yours down London for example?!! At least i can walk about my streets safe at night you Arrogant English peasant!! Was it not our police force we had to send down there because you ANIMALS were all RIOTING?!! ANIMALS!!!

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

For once the eagle England being in prey,

To her unguarded nest the weasel Scot

Comes sneaking and so sucks her princely eggs,

Playing the mouse in absence of the cat,

To tear and havoc more than she can eat.

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

It seems that the rebirth of Scotland is at hand indeed! More than 250 years after the Scottish defeat at Culloden the Scots are likely to once more free themselves from English dominance; which will force the English ducks to abandon their global follies like invading China for the right to sell opium there or to get a good bloody nose at the hands of warlike Japan or Germany; as it has happened in the last great war; Shakespeare may now remind the English of their nasty Scottish neighbourhood:

[2787mh]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar rebirth of Scotland? what are you smoking? Salmond wants the Monarchy as head of state, will let Donald Trump buy our land against the will of the people and we will still be ruled by the IMF, EU, UN and NATO. Also remember Salmond like Labour , is in bed with Murdoch. The sun backed the SNP, did you know their second biggest shareholder is the prince of saudi arabia? The very country he will send Scottish soliders to defend. Call that freedom? put the flag down and think!!!

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@2787mh: Of course wants Alex the (new) Bruce the monarchy to be the head of state or do you think he will free Scotland from the English yoke for the love of God? And while doing so he has to flatter the economic bullies and look fair, smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog, duck with nods and apish courtesy or he will be held a rancorous enemy; remember how Robert the Bruce did deceive Edward I of England in order to free Scotland from the English yoke!

[asubjectiveopinion]

I wish the SNP would clarify it's relationship with Brian Souter.

I really want to vote for the SNP, but the fact that they are taking donations from an extremist like Souter worries me a great deal.

What concessions has he bought with those donations? Does a majority mean that gay and lesbian Scots should start fleeing south before the camps open?

[scotguy1968]

what glen was the guy in the video standing on top of,anyone know..

[o0Gmanji0o]

@EdwardQuid For starters, I wanted to toss a comment in there that would most likely get people worked up and i believe it worked!!! But your right, it has done well, well at shifting all resources back to England and draining us of our money. Scotland Can Support itself and Scotland should Support Itself!!! As for the killing people, wasn't in my comment fool!!! All i meant was i think Scotland should have its own army and Stop that Royal Monstrosity from dipping their hands into our pockets!!!

[AesWolf]

When are you going to lower your knife crime and teenage pregnancies? It makes the rest of the UK look bad. :L

[killerdeen13]

@AesWolf Well, Well, Well, was it not a certain Conservative leader that forced Scotland into depression which would obviously have effects on society? But ofcourse an Englishman never tells the full story, just like your politicians and their policies.

[ihearttheplanet]

@gbacchetti1 Its "you're" not "your". 

[TheRayjs]

anyone know the name of this tune? lol

p.s SCOTLAND!

[MartinTaylorsTalkBox]

Where the hell did the helmet come from when the girl gave him the bicycle? (0:34)

[MrSharpybhoy]

[gangstamillion]

Go on have independence and then we'll laugh when you no longer have access to our money

[XxsiananxX]

[scottishlowoflow]

[deno914]

Yes, well as I say. I live in Britain under the multicultural hell-hole it is becoming. Please stay in India.

[ihearttheplanet]

[MACHAWK123]

Nice first section before the waffle comes in. Where's the trig?.

[deno914]

@ fondlemaid. As you are from India, you have no say in ETHNIC matters. Go back to India - you wanted separation from the Crown - why are you here?

[Fondlemaid]

@deno914 As I explanied in response to your private message, I'm British (half English and half Welsh), born in South Manchester. I moved to India to enjoy the weather, the beaches, the lovely food and the welcoming and generous people. The fact that I'm far, far away from people like you is also a major bonus!

[Fondlemaid]

I say give the Scots total independance if that's what they want. That does mean no more English tax-payers money goes to Scotland though. Want to be a big boy? Then stand on your own two feet.

[thistlewarrior]

@Fondlemaid Scotland has 8.4% of the UK population and raises 10.7% of all UK tax revenue. Now if you can lift your knuckles off the floor, extend your fat digits and hold them in front of face, then perhaps even you can see that 10 is more than 8. Then again maybe not.

[deno914]

What the bloody hell is this about? Where are the policies, where are the economics. What a pile of pish from blubber chops. The Labour Party has been run by two Scottish people - not English. It's the old chip on the shoulder Scots, tartan shortbread crap. Scotland needs a new way. Scotland NEEDS THE BNP.

[cb43569]

@deno914 Are you serious? You think what Scotland needs right now is Nick Griffin? I can't begin to describe how ridiculous that notion is.

[deno914]

@cb43569  Yes, you probably couldn't. Thank God for the BNP.

[Greg93x]

@deno914 so basically you want a man who denies the holocaust, denies global warming, a fascist, a racist and a man who openly said we should sink ships full of immigrants in the english channel in the Scottish government. you've obviously lost it mate

[deno914]

@Greg93x You are most probably a commie, foaming at the mouth leftie. The bloody holocaust is in the past. This country does not need hoardes of immigrants - brought to this country by a Labour Government in order to rub it in the noses of the Right. This country is being COLONISED at no-ones invitation. Global warming is being used as a reason to tax the working man. GOD BLESS THE BNP.

[Greg93x]

@deno914 oh wow is that the best comeback you can think of is to call me a communist?. Immigration has brought many benefits to this Country and one of the reasons why Britain is great is because of our diversity and acceptance of other cultures and religions. Having the BNP in charge would be a step back

oh and BTW I'm not a communist I'm a Liberal Democrat

[deno914]

@Greg93x Worse than being a Commie. Yes, Immigration has brought benefits. COLONISATION will not.

[Greg93x]

@deno914 I didn't say i was in favour of colonisation , i'm just saying that Britain needs immigrants in order to help things like the economy, since they'll come over here and spend money which will help us rebuild the economy

[deno914]

@Greg93x Our economy cannot be rebuilt using immigrants. What is the sense in that. Immigrants use up resources such as housing, social services, education health service. Britain NEEDS to rebuild her economy. Britain NEEDS to come out of Europe and plough the money into her own country. Britain NEEDS to get her own indigenous population back to work. Britain NEEDS close the doors. End of Story. We have no Economy without an industry.

[Greg93x]

@deno914 you know what i'm done talking to you, your obviously just as ignorant as the rest of the BNP so take your Nazi ideologies and piss off to the south pole, it's a land with no colour so you'll love it there. god forbid your children grow up to be fascist scumbags like u

[deno914]

@Greg93x Bye - brain dead moron.

[ihearttheplanet]

@Greg93x congrats on not exploding with frustration during your comment convo with deno914 just thought id let you know lib dems ftw :)

[Greg93x]

@ihearttheplanet thank you :D

you can't reason with these people no matter how hard you try

[sabbathslaves]

@o0Gmanji0o Don’t fall into the trap of blaming the English. As Burns pointed out “a parcel of rogues in a nation” if you target anyone find the fellow scot who bad mouths Scotland. Look at the comment below, now do you see. FREE SCOTLAND
