    It is rather curious that the works of stale old white people, whose first language was English (even if some of them were Irish) are being replaced by the works of people who come from countries like Nigeria but tick the box of not being white and are younger than most of the members of this forum. It is difficult to see how students will learn much about the heritage of our language from the works of somebody barely old enough to be their father.

    You would think that the Leftie universities would be quite happy with 1984. It depicts a totalitarian state with a brainwashed obedient population, just like the Woke promote. Where their problem lies is the book was influenced not only by his experience of the Spanish Civil War but also his knowledge of Communism.

    Surely Aldous Huxley’s A Brave New World should be on the banned list too. Although perhaps not as it describes a state where nobody owns anything and nobody has a relationship with anyone else, much like the perfect world of the Woke.

    Sadly both books pre-date the invention of virtue-signalling identity politics and only feature two genders.

    A very Daily Mail slant on the story: British holidaymakers are going to be inconvenienced. ALL travellers, holidaymakers or otherwise, irrespective of nationality will be inconvenienced. The Leftie unions out of strike across Europe wanting more pay because of high inflation: of when does that remind me?

    As well as the strikes across various European holiday destinations, they should perhaps have mentioned that wherever you go on the planet you can expect airport delays because every airline and airport across the world laid off their workers during the pandemic and now has a shortage as many of them did not return. They should see the queues in the US of A.

    Lefty Woke Loonies would have you believe it's because of Brexit <laugh>

    As you say hundreds of thousands around the world in the Air Industry were laid off during the 2 year pandemic but Lefties cannot understand logic.

    You should stop believing all that guff that the SNP feed you. It is not 51-49. The bookmakers are offering odds of more than 4/1 that there is even a binding Referendum in 2023 (an SNP unofficial referendum does not count). Only two bookmakers on OddsChecker are offering Stay/Leave betting and Stay is shortening with one.

    Try the YouGov poll tracker: Where do Scots stand on independence in 2022?

    Leave 45 per cent; Stay 55 per cent – the same as 2014. Independence has not had a lead in the polls this year.

    BoJo should let Wee Jimmy McKrankie have a poll on 19th October 2023 but only give her a week’s notice (so she won’t spend the next year whining on BBC Scotland) and put in a condition that it will be the last Referendum on Independence for at least twenty five years. Labour would back it because the SNP would be finished on 20th October 2023 and Scottish Lefties would go back to voting for Labour failure.

    I didn’t say anything about it being binding. The Brexit referendum wasn’t binding and that’s proven to be a fabulous success thus far.

    Take the average of the polls then. 53-47 with comfortably enough undecideds to swing it and the odds suggest it’s far closer than you’re weirdly insistent it is.

    I stated that the odds on a 2023 Referendum were contingent upon it being a binding Referendum (i.e. one authorised by Parliament, not a pointless SNP opinion poll costing £20m) because that is the condition of the bookmakers’ odds. It is called stating the facts. You are just obfuscating by dragging Brexit into the argument.

    I notice that you are unable/unwilling to provide links to any of the claims that you are making whilst I offered a link to a polling organisation. According to the Institute for Government rolling average of polls (some of which include 16/17 year olds), dated March 2022, the Yes vote is well below 50 per cent.

    On the What Scotland Thinks website, the latest poll (27 June 2022) shows that 55 per cent do not want another Referendum in 2023 whilst 34 per cent do – the other 11 per cent would not swing it.

    Also on that website, the most recent poll by ComRes (28 June 2022) was 51 per cent No, 49 per cent Yes; as was Ipsos Mori in May. Yes have not led since April 2021. You are desperately clinging to the “Don’t Know” category all suddenly becoming Nationalists. Why not just give 5 year olds a vote and offer them sweeties and Irn Bru for voting Yes? <laugh>

    You’re so angry all the time.

    The “don’t knows” are significant when they only need to cause a slight swing. That’s all. If it’s that much of a certainty, might as well let them crack on with it.

    They don't think we're all thick, Trebs. As is said, they know it's a lie, they know we know it's a lie, they know we know they know it's a lie, and by now they know most people know it's a lie.

    But it's Trumpism, targeted towards their base - they know the average Hate reader knows it's a lie, but they also know the average Hate reader doesn't give a **** that it's a lie: with an 80+ seat majority, they don't have to give a **** about truth or anything else, and despite people getting excited about early elections, here's my prediction; the next GE won't be until the Autumn of 2024. They will have to be prised out of office, enjoying the Kleptocracy for every day that they can.

    Remember that in 2014 Yes went from 35% to 45% in two months. The Don't Knows were the ones battered by the messages of Project fear and, more specifically, losing EU membership. If the EU makes it explicitly clear that Scotland will be fast-tracked for EU membership, there's 5% there.Bottom line is though, if Boris is not worried, why not give them the vote? The only reason they're asking for another ref within a decade of the last one is that there's been a huge, material change that the Scots voted against: if Krankie hold another next November and loses then that truly is it for indy refs for half a century. Unless another Tory government does something particularly against the interests of the Scots (and Irish) to feed its English Gammonwealth's desire to isolate itself from the rest of the world.
