  1. During our referendum in 2014, the hardcore unionist cabal pulled all the stops to get us to remain locked into their political union. They flew down all the Westminster leaders from London and even woke up Gordon Brown to lecture us on being good little Scots.

    One thing they ALL told us was that we should “lead the UK, not leave the UK”. So this is us, Scotland, leading the UK on the right course of action for global peace.

    Unfortunately, we all know that the Westminster parties will ignore Scotland. Even if our democratically elected Parliament voted to stop arms sales, the Labour party of England will use a section 30 order to block our votes and the England-dominated Supreme Court will vote in favour of Westminster power.

    All while people die in Gaza.

  2. Imagine basing strategic foreign policy decisions on polls of the general public.

  3. Do you work for The National, OP?

    All you ever seem to do here is post pretty much any story they have which attacks parties other than the SNP and Greens. It’s a bit weird.

  4. Unfortunately fear of being called racist has a greater effect on Labour politicians than making the correct ethical choice.

    Ironically Zionism is a racist endeavour however the bulk of the British public simply don’t like Muslims and are happy to see them murdered.

  5. Oh hey, it’s the FindoutNow poll conducted between 17-24th December again, the survey of 1774 people, funded by the National itself.

    This makes it another story based on the same poll, to add to the… half-dozen? on the same poll already posted. Rule 3 applies ? Maybe.

    “once “don’t knows” are removed”, and no link to source data. Where is the source data ?

    lets see… https://www.whatscotlandthinks.org/poll/findoutnow/ has no mention of a question of arms controls to Israel being asked in this poll.

    Where’s the source data ?

  6. The National often seem to forget that Scotland only makes up 7.9% of the UK population. They often seem perplexed and incensed at the idea that Scotland “only” gets 7.9% of the say.

  7. Yes, let’s stop sending arms to a country that was defending itself in the wake of one of the biggest tragedies it had faced in recent history. Let’s send a message that when your citizens are beheaded by terrorists, the correct response is to ignore it and say “these things happen” 🙄

    /s, obviously.

  8. If Islam finally wins and destroys Israel, the survival of the West will be in play with Russia and others supporting the Iran regime. Whilst your fellow-feeling for the plight of others is understandable, you should remember that Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian government are hugely practiced at the manipulation of the news, experts at propaganda and lie with impunity. The desire for the defeat of the only democracy in the Middle East, a country whose population has been at risk since its inception and its population globally for two millennia before that, must be resisted.

  9. I could be wrong but I thought international relations/ defence etc weren’t devolved matters ergo fk all to do with the SNP, who have plenty other challenges on their priority list.

  10. Unfortunately Labour have been bought by the Israeli lobby. 

    The Zionist project is coming to end though, Israel are rightly a pariah state and will never recover. 

  11. In case the people in this thread don’t understand:

    Benjamin Netanyahu is a convicted War criminal

    Our tax money, Scottish tax money, is going to support the war crimes he is committing

    Israel is actively committing genocide

    This should be never be allowed by our government, Westminster, Scottish Parliament, it doesn’t matter

  12. Actual footage of a journalist from The National ‘creating’ an article.
