Another day, another British Nationalist lie

Post by Let's all laugh at Rangers »

So basically, Johnson and May spent Trump's presidency fighting each other over how best to sell the NHS to Trump.

Snap. I swear these right wing parties opposition to immigration is an attempt to create a tit-for-tat situation where we can't leave, thus leaving no way out of being worked into the grave.

In Scottish lexicon, British Nationalist = against Scottish Independence, correct? What term do you prefer for the opposite?

Good luck on your endeavor, although I fear that you are either 66 or 238 (in the case of Canada *cough cough*) years too late. If you had oil left, I suppose it would make sense, but how much longer will that last?

Scottish Nationalist is what Unionists call people who are pro independence, so British Nationalist is a counter-balance to that. It looks like the youtube video "top 10 Unionist myths debunked" has been pulled, and I doubt it was youtube's decision.

If I was Scottish I would vote for independence but as Southern Englishman person I find it hard to care one way or the other.

I'm resident here (in England), though I was born in South Africa. My dad's from Glasgow.

I couldn't care less either way. But then, I've sort of been turned against the country a little bit through my work. Got a visa for New Zealand and I'm probably headed there next year.

Looking at all the pros and cons, however, I'd probably have to agree with Rowling on this one. Scotland will have an extremely tough time negotiating, recuperating and rebuilding from this. Not to say it can't be done, but if I was living permanently in Scotland, I'd be firmly for the "No" movement, even though I'm very proud of my Scottish heritage.

I spoke with my auntie and uncle about this when I was in Sterling, and kind of just assumed that they'd be pro independence, but apparently they guy they elected in to front this is a bit of a muppet and self serving. their opinion is that if this goes through it'll be pretty bad for Scotland.

Probably Auckland to start - I have friends there in my industry, and once I'm set up I can look around if I'm not vibing it. It's usually rated pretty highly on those "Best cities to live in" surveys, though. Most of the NZ towns seem very much my style - a bit more laidback and less concretey than somewhere like NYC or London.

Depending on what industry your in - I'd look outside of Auckland - it's grown to the point that it's pretty much like any bland city in the world, plus cost of living vs income there can be a bit out of proportion. The weather's not too bad though

I heard, and this was a few years ago, the immigration to New Zealand was pretty restricted for white people not seeking political asylum. You basically had to have $1M to invest in the economy before you could get into the queue.

Luckily, with a British passport, I got a 2 year work visa literally by filling in an online form and paying a small amount. There's also something called the Silver Fern, which is first come, first serve. And it seems nowadays that if you're skilled in any of the shortages, it's pretty easy to get in.

I spent two years trying to get back to the US, and that was hell (and ended up failing anyway).

Honestly - I don't think it's all that hard to get into the country. I could be wrong though
