It seems the only way round keeping what is important to special groups as well as preserving the context in which anything at all can be achieved is this umbrella policy body. If you know how to squeeze past some really big egos you could succeed. Compromise is the only hope right now. Shin kicking should only happen when there is time for leisure activity. Why some people persist in doing it regardless of the peril looming on the path, god knows. ![]() |

The initiative I have in mind for BOTH sides of the independence issue (or any other issue for that matter!) is to demand that voters in England should be able to participate in ANY referenda about the status of any part of the UK. It is simply not acceptable that referenda should be held in which (for example) solely the voters in Scotland take part. 84% of the UK's voters are in England and we have been sidelined since 1975! The project I have in mind for myself is to collaborate with others in trying to arrange public meetings in which what is happening is explained. We need to get out there ~ like Billy Graham if you wish ~ and spread the word and set out some options. __ |

That's a good idea cassie, but try not to attack your own side or split the movement. You'll find it will be more succesful that way.

Ah, Frith, her load is heavy, her pathway strewn wiv rocks, Why don't you just give way to your desire, And place her in the stocks? Along with any other "half-wits" that happen to be lounging about. What good are stocks if they don't have villains in 'em? |

To lower myself to your level of exchange: you can say black is white if you like, but it doesn't make it true!
The difference between my post and yours is that I gave a reason for saying what I said. It would appear that it is common practice and acceptable in South Africa to persistently intervene. _ |

When I heard cries of distress from England and of course Britain in general, I and many others, came to help. It isn't interference. It is kinship. And I don't appreciate your reference of having to "lower yourself to my level". That is disgracefully insulting. You should be ashamed of the way you speak to people. In South Africa I am afraid it might earn you what they call here a "klap." (Besoeker may laugh, as he has a name that means "visitor" here, so I presume he has connections.) |

You may say it's 'helping' but I say it's unhelpfully interfering! Will this provoke yet another interminable and prolix post, I ask? __ |
