Dave......."BTW - To those claiming to be socialists while also being nationalists. Can I remind you National Socialism has been tried before. Can't remember where"

I took that to be directed towards left leaning SNP supporters as obviously did Ake. If it isn't then who on earth is it directed at? The sentence seems to suggest that if you are left leaning nationalist then this has already been tried by the nazis. Sorry but it is there in black and white! That is how it reads. If this is not what you meant then fair enough it is just a clumsy sentence which is not meant.

And Steve I often agree with your views and to tell you the truth your views would generally (obviously maybe the independence debate aside) sit in well with the Nats. If people are going to be likened to nazis then there has to be evidence to back this up - otherwise it does look more like trolling. What we have though rather than a nazi like party is a party that views everyone legally living in Scotland as Scots regardless of their ethnic origin or birthplace; a party who have called for more immigration into Scotland; and a party who are more enthusiastically pro-European than either of the two main UK wide parties; and a party who are very pro gay-rights etc. Not all the party members agree with that of course as it is a wide church - however that is the views of the party as a whole. Where is the likeness to the nazis?
