--- Quote from: IanJ on January 02, 2021, 11:33:07 pm ---I'm Scottish and voted for independence, but wanted out the EU........oh dear, thats not on Sturgeons agenda.. --- End quote --- I guess in near term, Sturgeon's agenda is for independence, then the EU matter for later ? Or .. its a mixed bag complicated situation among Scottish that want independence ? |

Northern Ireland should just join the Republic, eventually. It's silly for them to be two separate countries. I don't see the point in Scotland leaving the UK. A border between the two countries will only cause disruption and trouble. So far, Brexit hasn't been as bad as the mainstream media said it would be, but it's not good either. I've noticed TME have temporally stopped dealing with individual UK customers. https://www.tme.eu/gb/information-bar/42836/brexit-informationUK |

I'm placing an order next week with them, so we'll see how smoothly that goes. |

--- Quote from: SilverSolder on January 02, 2021, 08:47:08 pm ---The whole concept of democracy has some serious flaws, which are being exploited mercilessly these days. (It is still probably just about the least bad of the possible political systems, but we probably need for there to be consequences for intentionally attempting to break the system for political advantage. Also, I don't think politicians lying should fall in the category of "free speech"). --- End quote --- The idea that you might be able to ban lies in public life is predicated, consciously or unconsciously, on there being some kind of benevolent proactive God who can look down and tell humanity what is right. The need for a truly independent arbiter, which doesn't exist in the real world, is the key reason so many ideas for running a society fail. Systems that work reasonably well are the ones that have some amount of self correction inherent in them. They can still go off the rails, but less often. Some lies are so obvious and blatant, they should be incontrovertible. However, in tribal societies people can't even agree what "woman" means any more. |
