Ah, the THC thing. Haven’t tried it and probably won’t. Don’t even have nicotine in my vape - it’s a habit thing.
thanks for your input exe. btw, seeing as the weather man made like bojo, it was supposed to be scortchio today. I ended up doing a lil reading. I loves a bit of history me and found my self reading some random Scottish history from financial magazines and journals from back in the day. interesting use of language that made me think of yer good self. you will love this to 749. https://randomscottishhistory.com/2019/09/14/financial-cost-to-scotland-of-the-union/
I don’t know. Was hoping I wouldn’t have to dig to find out, and that you would enlighten me. (Lazy sod me.)
publications going back to 1885. it said so inside. no biggie just a bit of rainy day reading with wordage that looked familiar.
That’s a very interesting article. With the quotes and data, irrefutable facts which confirm 1) scotland was not bailed out 2) it was contributing far more to the union than England 3) it’s people kept in poverty
England (Britain) has done that to all third world countries throughout the world over the centuries, divide and conquer it's called. The evil face of capitalism i'm afraid.
Care to compare the historical records of Capitalism and of Marxism in terms of eliminating poverty throughout the globe? In fact, I insist you do just that, Comrade. For the benefit of the many Forum members, not just a few of them!
thing is, Scotland wasn't a third world country darkness. quite the opposite using the standards of the day. a few lairds and nobles lost their wealth on the failed Darion project, but the country its self wasn't broke, it was england that was broke due to their constant waring, and came up with the alien act in an attempt to reverse the tide. so yip, interesting stuff. I wonder how much they have spent over the decades propagating the myth?. how do you convince a wealthy nation its actually the scrounger in the relationship, where I can still meet people that like the idea but don't think we can afford it. odd.
aye, but will the torys hang on their Dumbarton seat? (joe swinsons). she has been saying they wont do deals with the conservatives. but in actual fact they are already talking to each other up here on how they can use tactical voting to avoid a clean sweep in the upcoming GE.
That’s a very interesting article @finm though I am skeptical about some of the arguments, particularly by those attributed to the Marquis of Bute. Would that be the same Marquis of Bute who made a substantial fortune from the Welsh coalfields and his development of Cardiff Docks? John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, the second Marquis of Bute, landed gentry of Scotland and south Wales, owned much of the land in which the growing industry operated. He and his son were able to amass vast wealth which made the third Marquis one of the richest men in the world. He did spend money in Wales, such as remodelling Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch, but most of the money went elsewhere.
Orenz calm down its Sunday a day of rest. What's with all this insisting and Go ! Bit bossy aren't we ? To get the best from me is easy talk to me on the same level otherwise fvck off.
yip, written back in the day when bias was no less prevalent. hence the, alien act of 1704?. and how the nobles where bought off. only they had the vote at the time
