Banning the union flag so it's only shown once a year. Surely the failing SNP is loosing popularity and she's just getting ever more ridiculous.

there are many countries that have benefited from nastiness.

I take pride in the good that the UK has done but don't hide/shy away from the past.

Our shared history -all history- needs to be told for both the good and bad.

As Santayana said "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

This is hysterically funny, reading people tying themselves in knots trying to perpetuate their rants once their fake news has been exposed. All these foul personal comments on a politician only reflect badly on yourselves as you froth at the mouth. Hardly a way to win the unionist argument is it, presenting yourselves as completely unhinged and perpetuating fake news?

The Daily Heil, really? You actually believe something from a paper which has a history of supporting Hitler and whose proprietor makes a point of hiding abroad in order to pay no tax? How ethical, how damn British, what?

So nicola sturgeon approached the press and told them to print a story blaming her for something that somebody else's did years ago, and the press were like sure, no-one going to bother checking up on it...

Aye, right...

Things have been leaked to the press many times by various politicians, people kick up a fuss, it gets retracted and the politicians have sneaked in something on the quiet.

But then I don't trust politicians.
