Deary me .

There must be some way to bring the collective anger down In this country .

Feels like we are at a constant state of boiling point from every angle.

Shut down social media. Not even sure if I’m joking.

If you think the situation is the same as last time then I think you've got your head in the sand.

The irony for me is the person most likely to put Scots off independence is Sturgeon

So we agree that a main part of the situation is the same?

And as I said earlier they would need money from somewhere. They spend much more than comes in tax.

People don’t see each other as human or the internet as real life. I think somewhere like this that’s self contained manages it among each other but some of the shit that gets written about politicians, councillors, members of the SBT etc shows outside these “walls” it’s the same attitude.

Indont think the vast majority mean it more than blowing off some steam or being edgy but the small amount of nutters read it and it fires them up or legitimises them.

Nothing challenges my belief in freedom of speech like social media.

I know they do. Large sections of England that got significantly more back from the EU than they put in voted Leave though. And through that decision now have massive deficits in their funding.

No doubt it will be sold on the basis that they can rejoin the EU and get funding from that or some nonsense about having control of their own tax dollars will allow them to better meet the priorities of the Scottish people.

You seem to believe that people will make well thought out, rational decisions. For some Scots the economic pain from leaving the Union would be well worth getting rid of those English overlord bastards. Just like some in England felt the only important thing was taking back control and getting rid of the EU overlord bastards. Didn't matter what might happen afterwards, as long as we got rid of them.

Basically how we thought about the Europeans is how Scots think about the English,

I know....

I clearly couldn't give a shit about how he voted but was mocking the whole political obsession. Even on social media it's "I'm not a tory lover but..."

You don't need to be a tory lover to think it's fucking pathetic that somebody wants to go and stab somebody at their place of work.

It looks like the person has been arrested, pretty sure it's terrorism too.

Some want independence no matter what the cost. But most are realistic.

My daughter in law is one of the first lot. We had a good chat about it at the time of the referendum. She didn't know we pay for our prescriptions. She didn't know about the finances. But she still voted for independence 😆🤣

Fuck sake, nobody should be that obsessed with politics. No different people obsessed with religion and would kill over it.

Awful news.

2 MPs murdered in just over 5 years.

What the fuck. Fucking shitshow.

Not just in this country mind, the whole world seems to be divided against each other.

This is what happens when people don't even see people with different political beliefs to them as human. As said above, social media plays a huge part in this, people find echo chambers and work themselves into a frenzy.

Twitter (one of the worst places ) is already a huge point scoring mess , yes we've all done it in the past on various issues ..but ultimately

Somebody has died
