Scottish, British, European and Woke. Easily irritated by idiots. Nationalism is the measles of mankind. BBC supporter, although every time some perv gets outed my shoulders sink a bit lower.

When did that dawn on her?

Answer: When she was looking around for a line to justify the tax rises she said would not be necessary because she was going to grow our economy.

Not one comment in the discussion that follows about the benefits of staying in.

So that's progress ...

I don't wish him harm, but he could get run over by a bus tomorrow 🤷‍♂️

I'd add another one.

Either we can't afford to take a £32 billion annual hit to our economy (Source:OBR) or we don't need to raise taxes. Both of them can't be true either.

The choice is between being out and isolated or back in the club on less favourable terms than before.

I'll take the latter.

If you think followers are important, why not follow more?

Euan McTurk @euanmcturk.bsky.social · 11h

Good. There's no other way.

What's the point of him?

Sit on your hands and do nothing then while all around you the economy falters 🤷‍♂️

Farage is on 34%.

We've lived the reality whereas before we were sold a fantasy.

That's why the polls have moved.

Funny, considering many of the same voters crashed out without worrying much about "specifics".

Euan McTurk @euanmcturk.bsky.social · 13h

One step at a time, but let's start walking.

Prevarication because "it's all too difficult" gets us precisely nowhere.

You can reverse it when >50% of voters want to reverse it.

Currently at 63% 🤷‍♂️

All the more reason to stop ignoring it then and take steps to end the harm 🤷‍♂️

Euan McTurk @euanmcturk.bsky.social · 13h

Given that his final act was to shoot himself in the head, he wasn't around to answer for his actions 🤷‍♂️

Labour's lost promise isn't exactly helping either ...

Awww, look at you and your outpouring of humanity towards the bereaved ...

Euan McTurk @euanmcturk.bsky.social · 1d

What price would you put on the unnecessary hurt inflicted on a bereaved parent / sibling / child / partner (x26) ?
