With the end of year approaching, there may be moves to elect a new POTY.
I can't see how Mrs Joanne Timbo can hang on to her title since she hardly posts? I've been hoping for some meaningful discussion with this supposed bastion of ethicicity, but it has never materialised.
I've been very impressed with JTC's posts as of late and reckon he could be a very strong challenger for the title.
It would be an astonishing feat to “combine the belts” but like you say he has some ground to make up.
AJ and a few others were very upset when he swept to the title last year so hopefully he will feel it is worth doing.

Some good posters on here mate.Iv liked reading PGs and Bucs posts.I like most of the posters to be honest but its easier to like posters and posts on 'our' side of the debate.The two posters iv mentioned come across very well in my view even though they come at different angles to me/us.
we can disagree peacefully if You like.
Iv used the sledgehammer to crack a nut too many times in my life to remember.I find it doesnt work.A reasoned arguement will more likely swing it or at least gain respect .The two seps/Nats iv mentioned always ,Imo come across very well
It matters what we think but there is one certain fact in life.I told this to my window cleaning remainer mate the day of the Euro ref.My words were'Whoever wins today,remember tomorrow we will both be still wiping bird crap off peoples windows'Meaning life will go on for us mere mortals.Whilst the good and great celebrate or comisserate we will be paying the taxs one way or another for their indulgencies!
That’s a great post JTC. I have a respect and affection for everyone who posts here, even the ones I argue with the most.
The world is a rich old tapestry and we all bring own unique threads to life’s great loom.

I was upset?😂 I just find him exceptionally boring and all that Mister crap is a load of shite. He also loves to ask questions but isn't too good at answering them.

its ironic that since Maggie was in power,a women who claimed to be a ubber Brit her policies of de industrialisation have hastened independent nationalism in the UK rather than cemented the Union. When we had a coal industry for example a bloke in Cumnock would have more in common with a man in the Staffordshire coalfields then He would with a Perthshire farmer.
Also devolution hasnt helped imo.Iv got to admit I (coming from a Labour background at the time)I thought it would be fine.Giving the four segments if you like, of the UK the chance of being the samebut slightly different.Of course the people of NE England were offered a devolution of regional sorts but rejected it.And quite right too as the assets like the mines had long closed.No point in having power over nothing is there?
ultimately time will tell about the Union.Like iv said I dont think its anyones right to stop people having a say.What i do believe is the vote we had was once in a generation so no new one is needed.Also I see no 'better' way been put forward by the SNP.If it put a 'better' way forward than the one we have already I might see the point of indy more.Also ,sadly I dont feel it is run on the lines (by the leadership and more rabid supporters)of whats best for Scotland .Its more to do with hatred of the English /British.I see a rabid Irish Republicism tied into this too.I really think the SNP need to divorce away from it

I was using a bit of hyperbole there. 😂
You did just about flip your lid at one point though when it looked like you might win the Roaster award!

A new vote is needed if the people decide a new vote is needed. Devolution had to be delivered for Scotland. Blair had to accede to it due to EU and International Law, especially given NI had already been handed devolution multiple times and there are devolved parliaments all across Europe.
There is no rabid Irish republicanism in the independence movement. For a long time that dwindling element of society was remarkably pro-union when it came to Scotland. Most of that ilk still are. They are thick as mince in the main and believe the SNP to be consumed with a desire to abolish Catholic schools.
Scotland running it’s own economy and foreign affairs is infinitely better than having these things run by Westminster, especially a Tory, right wing, hard Brexit isolationist and incompetent Westminster. Most people in Scotland believe that fundamentally.
The UK is going to break up. If it can happen to the Soviet Union, it can happen more easily to the UK. And it will. These islands will be a better place for it.

Cant agree about Irish Republicanism not being rampant in the SNP mate .Id suggest that band coming over and playing at a indy march sort of proves the point.Fancy have a band linked with the new RA playing at a Scottish indy march!
Some of the people attaching theirselves to the iScotland debate have nothing to offer Scotland but rabid anti English/Britishness.It would be better if some of the people in the movement for indy actually realised most English people dont wear bowler hats all day long and campaign for the Tories.
Of course if the USSR can break up then so can the Union.That is factual.I doubt it will happen though and of course then there will be pockets of Scotland,particularly Islands and the borders who may wish to remain in the Union.Im fully expecting Nicola to let a ballot be set up in these areas as She champions the vote so much.
Regarding Brexit we will have to wait and see.Crystal ball gazing aint the answer .We will get a idea after January.Im confident it will work.The proof of the pudding will be in the eating.The end of Feb aint going to give us the definitive answer.It will take a lot longer than that.

Being voted ROTY by the sycophants on the Junkie's board would be an honour.

Aye, ok.

That’s not very convincing.
