I am aware that I have made the statement that I believe Scotland to be a Country and a Nation but I wasn't claiming any greater right to anything. In my view Scotland is a Country. I know you disagree.
what I think Scotland's status is has no relevance to civic independence.
What Sturgeon thinks is Scotland's status has no relevance to civic independence.
FFS.
So why does she constantly say "Scotland is a country" to say something more than what she thinks Scotland's status is?
You've heard he say it when English cities have been mentioned. What relevance is it to anything at all in relation to English cities?
Scotland's status means NOTHING towards a civic indy campaign.
Presumably you think she has more brain than to keep mindlessly repeating "Scotland is a country" as Scotland's status, so WHY does she say it?

Sorry mate. I haven't seen her saying it
You've admitted to having seen her say it in relation to english cities.
What was the point she was making by saying it? It's an easy question, but one I've now spent 24 hours trying to get an answer from you about.

Hi Neil, can you please provide a link to her saying this in the context you describe.
I've already said I don't have one to hand, but I've seen it numerous times.
(I think it's dead funny that no one in Scotland seems to listen to a word she says and it all passes them by.
)
You've already posted to say you've heard her say it to re-butt comparisons with cities in England. What exactly was she making that comparison about and what relevance was the status of Scotland to that?
so why don't you tell me what you think she meant and what relevance it had to anything at all of a civic indy campaign (or anything else)....?

Slightly confused about some of the info. Lots of acts on the Chinatown poster are being shown as playing the Town Centre stage. We enjoy ska, much of which was in the TC stage last year.
Boomtown rules state we can't take our 15 y/o into Chinatown after 7pm (reality is a bit different, but only takes a jobs worth to note his wristband) but as of the moment most of the bands I'm interested in will be unwatchable. Bugger :-(
4.11 Teen and Child ticket holders are not permitted entry into the DownTown Areas (which includes DSTRKT 5, Barrio Loco and ChinaTown
Funnily enough he can goto into sector 6, strange.
have a look at the line-up info on the efests boomtown line-up page - there's a better breakdown of stages there than I've seen anywhere else, and it came from Boomtown, so it should be accurate.

seems it's not Brian for Glasto after all - I've had what I believe is accurate info on that.
So if the other info is correct, it looks like it's the Beach Boys after all - which is actually what the guy said, anyway. It was me that decided it must be Brian.

Ive highlighted YOU saying she said that Scotland has a greater right to Indy than an English city.
Im still working to the assumption that she actually said this and am patiently awaiting your link.
You have been banging on about Hilter etc for days so I'm playing fair and assuming you will link me up at some point.
I googled it a couple of days ago but couldnt see anything. That means nothing of course.
more than once to questions suggesting London could go indy on the same out-of-the-EU basis as Scotland, Sturgeon has said "Scotland is a country" to claim a greater right to indy.
Whether Scotland is a country or isn't a country it has *NO* relevance to whether it can be indy under a civic movement.
So why does she say it?

What nonsense. The city I referenced was Inverness.
Desperate stuff.
The desperate stuff is you posting bollocks like this to avoid addressing what I asked.
QuoteI take it there is no link to Sturgeon saying Scotland has a greater right to Independence than English cities.
There's not one I put in front of you right now.
Take my word for it: more than one instance of it exists.
QuoteCould you lease stop putting stuff in quotes that people didn't say.
Sturgeon has never said "Scotland is a country"?
She says it all the time.
The context in which she says it gives it away. She's claiming a greater right to indy via Scotland's blood and soil past-history.
We all know she thinks it's a country, so why is she stating the obvious, if that's what you claim she's doing?
Who is so thick that they don't know she thinks its a country? You? The rest of Scotland? Who?
And what relevance does it have towards indy?
Why won't you answer these questions, and only post deflective bollocks? It doesn't take a genius to know why.
You know she's doing what I say.

Ah, fair enough. That just came up on the new posts notification at the bottom of the page so had an idea it might work around it but never mind.
nah, there's no work around, the shoddy programming needs to be fixed.

Apologies for my shoddy programming, but i just don't have time to look at it in the 14 hour days i'm doing at the mo.

Not in my post it wasn't. The one you keep referring to that was clearly about Scotlands voice being heard in the eu negotiations and absolutely nothing to do with a greater right to anything.
Can you remember what cities it was that wanted independence?
Were they all in England.
If it was say Inverness, would the question be : Should Inverness be an independent City or Should Inverness be an independent Country ? Would the later be claiming a greater right than the former and would it therefor involve facist undertones ?
Come to think of it, I think Inverness quite recently became a city. Maybe they hate us townies and are looking for Indy. Back in yir box Inverness...!
Im trying to take this seriously !
Perhaps you could link me up to her saying this thing about a Country having a greater right than a City. Apologies if I have missed it.
You've highlighted it in what you've just posted in the same post.
Why does Sturgeon say "Scotland is a country" when it's suggested to her that English cities might also be independent because they don't wish to leave the EU?
It's not because cities can't become 'civic'-ly independent. All that takes is their self-determination (and the 'boss' country allowing it), *exactly* the same as Scotland.
So what does it mean to say "Scotland is a country" back to that?
It means she's demanding a greater right to indy than cities because of Scotland's history, Scotland's past history as a blood and soil tribal entity.

How dare the English demand the same right as Scots....? Is that what you're getting at?
Or is that "cities have no right to be independent"? If so, I think you've just picked a fight with Singapore.
What do you mean, comfy, and what relevance does it have to a 'civic' movement?

Morning Comfy. I think Neil's popped out for a cup of soup.
some of us have done 4 hours work already this morning, and will put in at least another ten hours, so might find that people being deliberately ignorant isn't top of the list today.

Nope, because i'm not driven by the self-serving.

Then please give me an alternative reason for what "Scotland is a country" is meaning and why Sturgeon keeps on saying it as justification for something.
Because it has no meaning for a civic movement.

Certainly give the benefit of the doubt to local MPs who, before the massacre, wanted to get their concerns about Hamilton published in the newspapers but the newspaper lawyer told the editors that the kingdom's libel / defamation laws would mean that the newspaper would have to prove the MP's concerns about Hamilton, boys clubs and guns were true otherwise they would have to pay damages to Hamilton.
So the newspapers weren't allowed to give the benefit of the doubt to free speech and a free press and so people weren't warned that the Queen's police had given a firearms certificate to a dangerous person.
I have been thinking about just these issues for decades.
and you've recently issues what look like threats to kill, too - just like MPs have been getting, and one MP has recently been killed.
And you also think the answer to people making what look like threats to kill is to give all people in power massive protection, rather than to deal with the people making those threats.
Oh, I forgot, your threat was clearly harmless and it's just the others who are making threats that causes the need of big security for those in power.
Have I got that right?

that's a problem rather unique to you, unfortunately, as a consequence of the non-standard characters in your username.
Sorry, but i don't have time to look into it at the moment.

As is clear from my post I was talking within the context of the EU Ref : " because people kept putting it to her that some City in England also voted remain "
Cities in England voting to remain in the EU has nowt to do with Scottish Indy although you seem to be bringing my words into the specific indy debate ( 4 times ).
It was suggested to Sturgeon that cities in England that voted remain might also want independence.
Sturgeon replied "Scotland is a country" to indicate a greater right to indy than a city.
What is too difficult for you?
What difference does Scotland being "a country" make to a civic movement? Civic is about that society's choice, nowt else.

Catfish can't play R&L this year and are also being claimed as an English exclusive at the above fest (despite already being announced for IOW).
Slaves played both R&L and Latitude last year and I doubt they'll return to either this year.
The Wombats have played R&L the last two years and wouldn't fit in at Latitude.
Nothing But Thieves played R&L last year and I don't think they'd really fit in at Latitude.
Dunno about the rest really but I imagine The Hunna will be at R&L.
- fair enough.
In which case I reckon the better known names are on that bill because FR knows they're good ticket-shifters, and wants to cash in on them for a 2nd summer before they perhaps go cold again.

You've heard her say "Scotland is a country" in response to mention of English cities.
I'm asking YOU what YOU think she meant when she did that.
What relevance does Scotland's status have towards civic indy that "Scotland is a country" needs to be said when English cities are mentioned?
YOU have heard her say it. Tell me what purpose she had in saying it.
You pretending that some people need to be told that Scotland is a country is NOT it. Whether Scotland is a country or nort means fuck-all towards civic indy.
YOU have heard her say it. Tell me what purpose she had in saying it.
