Is this video really the way the SNP elite see Scottish citizens? How condescending and insulting.
SNP is great. They support migrants and defend our Muslim brothers and sisters. One day soon all Scots will pray to Mecca. Allahu ackbar❤
@@ramenlover334 Not a chance.
@@ramenlover334Dream on, Abdul
SNP are great. We support housing migrants if England doesn’t want them. Islam is the way forward and SNP deserve your vote. May Scotland be free, Islamic Scotland forever, We love EU. Allahu is great
New and better Scotland… Alba Gu Bràth
Is the guy who mentions bus pass Eric from still game??
Yep.
"Remember what school used to be like" Scottish education ranking was the top in Europe in 1999 before devolution it's now the worst ranking in europe.
Political views aside, this is a funny monty python parody.
@geetarwanabe It seems that its only the Labour Councils that are struggling. No surprise there given the state of the UK economy another benchmark of Labour "economics". I could mention the bankruptcy of Aberdeen City Council between 1995 and 2003 as another example...
@Southsidestu What I'm saying is that you don't understand what the actual failing of the Irish economy was, and what Salmond was proposing. The Irish economy did not fail because of it's low corporation tax rates, infact it prospered because of them. It's this aspect of the Irish economy that the SNP wished to mimic. The Irish economy failed because the ECB set interest rates that were low to benefit Germany, and not an open economy like Ireland - which fueled a property bubble.
Oh times have changed😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Record levels of current and planned investment by oil companies in the North Sea don't persuade me the oil is running out soon. Against that day, however, the SNP-led Scottish Government has done more than any previous Scottish or UK Government to promote renewable energy, which, given our wind, tidal, and hydro resources will make us a net energy exporter (even without the oil) within the next twenty years. The Scottish economy is in profit, the UK in deficit. We can afford to go it alone!
Ninian Plump, it's Ninian Plumb! It's not a peach it's a Ninian Plumb! And if you want your 5 a day, just have a Ninian Plumb!
What? There's Eric but no Jack and Victor?
at the end of the day this is down to a viewpoint. When your banks are saved by the union, when Salmond focuses on our key resources being oil which is finite and tourism from the US now damaged by the release of Megrahi it inspires little confidence and maybe i was short sighted on Ireland but when you have a leader who says before the crash lets do it like Ireland and lets do it like Iceland and they both tank that again inspires little confidence.
Hmmm turns out it was not all free though was it. £1.5 billion blackhole anyone?
And of course I will not be holding my breath for a response back from the degree brothers!
@Southsidestu But you keep repeating that Salmond is trying to copy Ireland, and then making reference to the collapse of the Irish economy as if he it was that he was trying to mimic. Salmond wished to have a more competitive corporation tax rate to increase FDI, and to enable more local enterprises to be setup. Economically, this makes perfect sense. So why do you keep making reference to Ireland, when it's clear - the Irish economic collapse was not because of our corporation tax?
I need someane to translate it for me into russian)) Or is there somwhere a text of their speach?))
Павел Абабков ON KZhead THERE ARE cc CLOSED CAPTIONS WILL ADD TEXT TO THE AUDIO TRY THAT
Bob G thank you:)
Learn to spell asswipe
@SeanOBriain Agreed, Scotland does not need the union, most unionists (particularly English too) seem to be emperialists that like the idea of the "Great British empire" and want to keep the pretence up that it still exists rather than what's best for Scotland alone.
@shanksy67 Magrahi wasn't tried under Scots law he was tried in the Hague in Holland. Lord Hardy said that on the evidence provided no judge in Scotland would ever have found him guilty.
@smartwarlord The historical ties to Canada, Australia, US and NZ is largely insignificant and irrelevant to Scotland's future best interests and is over represented to the Scots today. The English are no more influential than the Scots were in their own right, Winston Churchill (English) says what no historian on this earth can argue with ~ "Out of all nations on this earth, perhaps only ancient Greece can beat the Scots when it comes to the contribution of mankind".
WOW! What A Great Scottish Independence Advert? Ed Miliband, Dave Cameron, Nicky Clegg and boozer Nige Farage and 'others' - best get your general election ads re-sorted right now cos you KNOW Scotland WILL be voting for independence. And, Ed need have no worries about No.10 if Scotland votes "YES". Lol
Did they only hire people with thick Scottish accents for this one? Pleasant surprise. FREE SCOTLAND / SAOR ALBA! Make sure to set up a Scottish equivalent of BBC while you're at it. the Scottish accent is irresistible.
Nice nod to Monty Python.
This has Monty Python (The Life of Brian) written all over it.
Yeah, except Scotland is almost the last vestige of the British Empire, i.e. Britain, the UK. A better allegory would be Romans and, ahem, English.
@smartwarlord Cont..."Scots created the modern world in the same way that the ancient Greeks created the old world". Also, sharing a close proximity border with a foreign nation does not make the people of either nation on each side of the border the same, the English are as different from the Scots as they are from the French across the Channel, they have their own origins in the way Scots have theirs. Hence they will always be termed as another country rather than 'fellow islanders' to most.
stuart hamilton is awesome in this advert.
I for one welcome 1000 new boabies to the beat.
...then there's the £1million they propose to waste by sponsoring the scottish league cup! Excellent use of our money Mr Salmond!
..continued. So what the SNP was proposing was actually economically sound. Your high corporation tax limits the amount of FDI or local small to medium-sized enterprises that can be established - Which is exactly what would be required if Scotland was to become independent (In every sense of the word). I actually find it interesting that you feel the Scottish people do not have the political tact to control their own affairs and Govern themselves. Scotland doesn't require the union.
@CalumGilhooly I don't think he is a ricidivist . i'm not really getting my knickers in a twist either, it wis you that replied to my original comment. I'm commenting on the SNP in reply to their campaign broadcast, as all youtubers are entitled to do - thats why there is a comments facility. But to fair to you, i would agree SNP are probebly the best of a bad bunch; doesn't mean I can't have a negative opinion or critise them. Independence won't be happen under the current crop of snp
Nobody knows my economics better than myself and i would never claim to be an expert my higher education is based around English, Biology and Chemistry, in fact the focus point of my argument was not the economics but the short sightedness of Salmond, you know economics better than me clearly especially for your own country i am not going to walk into your backyard and try dictate play that would be narrow minded
@SeanOBriain So basically you are saying that a country that follows the economic model of Ireland will be fine and dandy no problems at all that Ireland is an exception? Corporation Tax and interest rates from the ECB are not the only factors in a successfull economy. Salmond believed in the Irish economic model which failed, our banks relied on Britain to be save them he underestimated what Scotland could achieve if it was independant which has been the focus of the SNP since day 1
Unusual that the SNP would decide to rip off something from a group of performers who were one yank, one welshman and the rest English maybe he has finally got the message about no to independance. Thank God we werent independant when the recession came about one bank was merged with and English one the other bailed out by the BRITISH taxpayer, not to mention Salmonds idea of following the economic models of Ireland and Iceland, plus his plan of sustainability with a renewable enrgy like oil.
@urbiszx he's sort of a Messiah, as he'll be anointed (inaugurated) as Scotland's first democratically elected Head of State. (or Head of Government, if he runs for Prime Minister, I think he'd made a better figurehead, for Scotland though, as President).
Free tuitoin, smaller clases, council tax we still use, somehow its safer to walk at night, puting out free bus pases schools, 20,000. In scotland scotland has the biggest uneployment biggest poverty and worst drug rates, they want us in the EU and they want other countries ahed over us but know one talks about it. Instead of blaming everything on the torys and england they should take there own actoins acountable. Im not a tory as my family is a working class and grew up in the minors strike caused by the consevatives i just want scotland on top nt put down by the snp
YEAH!
@puncher85438 And that's why it's so enjoyable... Even though the SNP didn't give us sanitation, nor did they ever build any aqueducts!!! ;-p
but their all still in the pub..
Hide and destroy evidence yes! GJ SNP Making us laughing stock of the world
I will call my friends and English family members what i like as that is how I see them perhaps i just have a perception that goes beyond arbiturary imaginary border lines drafted up by governments that existed centuries ago
Nay need!
@shanksy67 "Saor Alba doesnae sound like Scotland"? Do you know what Alba means, in the Gaelic language no less? SCOTLAND. Sort yersel oot. Oh, and did I miss the memo where Scots became as bloodthirsty and revenge-driven as Americans? When was mercy ever something to be ashamed of? International terrorism, that ghost of a threat, didn't receive a huge boost on Megrahi's release. All that happened was that a pathetic old man got to go home. Justice is about protecting society, not vengeance.
@mesmiths Iain gray in power that thought gave me nightmares lol lets vote snp in the next uk election but i hope we r independent before then
@97kcoats They're better than the rest of them I'm afraid
@donnachiefr Or the roads don't Forget the roads
No the answer is absolutely nothing.
@mesmiths yes good point vote or labour will get in
TOMMY SHERIDAAAAAAN
@CalumGilhooly aww wee look at my channel aye well done. i'm from islay and now live in glasgow. so ye talk gaelic naturally then? or did ye learn that wee phrase. Mergrahi was found GUILTY others should be found guilty also and all of them should spend the rest of their life in SCOTTISH jails...but that will never happen because of the SNP and of course the yanks n probebly whoever is in number 10. SNP are still shameful to release a guilty man from prison on the basis that he is terminally ill
@NOVATICANWARS Also, there is nothing wrong with going to university. In fact it makes them more qualified in their field whether it be basic politics or healthcare (medical degree, nursing), Justice (law degree), education (teaching). That makes them most qualified to improve OUR services for us. Words are wasted on you however, I suggest you invest in some logic; it will help you see sense instead of being blighted by stereotypes and sticking to the past. It will help.
@flamencobob whats next westminster will be saying renewable energy, is running out lol we can indeed afford to go alone
Hi guys, I wander; whether: "The S.N.P." **and/or; other: Scottish: -Political -Parties**: -would be: able; to: "Work with the club; Celtic, F.C./its: "Foundation""?? E.G. They could have: "The Something to do": -"Project":- which (or that); could: "Provide young Glaswegians/Scots., with: - something, to "play for" (DO)": I.E. By playing FOOTball (5, 6 And/or; 7: a side): this could -(well): C -Cut (All the very -possABLE): Crimintality/crime(s) and keep children: healthy/fit??
i know wendy:D!
@Southsidestu Um, I believe Salmond wished to reduce corporation tax, which would entice FDI and ease the process of local business startups. That was not the reason why our economy here in Ireland collapsed. It collapsed because of low interest rates from the ECB, which fueled a property bubble. It was because of our low corporation tax that we have any FDI retained at all. You clearly lack an understanding of the economics of Ireland. Perhaps you might research before you post sound-bytes.
@charlieiscool1000 lol well they didnt me rich! i was brought up during a ression and the torys were in charge then. Its all just boom and bust and its always the poor and working class that always takes the brunt of the it and i cant see them making anyone rich, well apart from making the rich richer lol. whats so bad about having a small army/police force? it would be proportional to the size of the population. Your right about EU but the EU cant tell us how to spend or borrow and invest ect
@NOVATICANWARS - Ah dear me; you will never listen to reason will you? (rhetorical question). It is not a hate for england that drives us to independance - you do not know the SNP if you think otherwise. We merely want to address our own issues, to be self determining, as we are of different ideology almost, form the rest of Britain - and the current gov shows this - we are more left wing, socialist even than the conservative government.
@coopers2005 in what way is the Scottish League Cup 'grass roots level'? That's not even the point though. I'm all for tgat money to be used for something meaningful. Football is not. How about using it for the victims of crime???
Alba Gu Brath!
@CopiousJ Justice is a person being punished fully for what they have done. He was convicted under scots law; and was to NEVER be released. Its not revenge putting him infront of a court and judging that he is guilty and should spend the rest of his life in jail is it? that is JUST, it is UNJUST the fact that he has been released and is able to live a free life and turned into a hero - SNP facilitated that. also if ye care aboot mercy so much why not realease aw the ill prisoners? laughable
Brilliant video this should be posted to all unionist voters, that'll shut them up as the SNP have done an excellent job for Scotland the past 4 years, 94 manifesto commitments and counting, all from a party that still only has "minority status", even a die hard Labour supporter said just two weeks ago that although he doesn't support full outright Scottish independence, he'll be voting SNP because of the excellent job they've done so far, just imagine what SNP can do with a majority government.
@smartwarlord "Celt" is a highly lose made up term from the 18th century that refers to the Indo-European invaders that originated in Iberia (modern day Spain), this is as opposed to the Germanic (Dutch, Franks, Norse, Saxons, Angles, Jutes etc). The Celts didn't replace the native inhabitants of the lands they migrated too, they were eventually subsumed by the natives, leaving only cultural impacts. The Scots largely descend from the native Pictish Caledonian ancestors as genetic research shows
History only goes back to the 1890s. Celts actually come from certain Germanic places too. Don't confuse with the neolithic Iberians. They say most Scots are more Scandinavian (viking), anyway.
Go alex salmond this is proof what the snp has done for the public and businesses and nhs
@ScottishCaledonian An independent Scotland will have no choice but to attach itself to the European Union so immigration is to be expected. Scotland does not have the means to be in a state of splendid isolation in an increasingly globalised world. Or, perhaps what you really meant was that you only mind the darker skinned people coming to Scotland.
Yorosero We need the EU, we lose money in the UK, and we have a surplus of jobs that we need such as teachers and doctors that immigrants will take on, as well as lesser jobs that citizens aren’t willing to take on permanently such as retail, cleaning etc
@charlieiscool1000 Its amazing how poor brittain is now because of westminster. 2 billion in "AID"? lol well scotland will have over 12 billion in oil and gas revenues per year to help improve the country if we went it alone, scotland does bring in ALOT of money considering we only have a population of 5 million. We are far from being a charity case lol but thanks for your concern but if i was you i would worry more about how the torys are going to make you poor lol
What does SNP stand for ?
They're quite funny Scots. But they're tae ye have tae ken what a dae, aye.
Vote for me Alex, I know more than you it seems what "our people" want.
Yes your so right we want Independence ASAP.
Nothing absolutely nothing.
I'm English and honestly im sick to death of hearing about Scottish independence, i really hope you get another vote then you can end the matter. either stay and shut up or go. the rest of the UK will survive fine but your free everything won't.
P 22 if you're sick of it, why come to a video about the SNP and make a comment. You sound hurt! Let it alllllll out, there there there
The SNP is Scotland's ONLY truly Scottish political party. The rest of them are just regional departments of UK parties. We Scots should be running our own country and should be responsible for our own affairs. If you're proud to be Scottish, you'll vote for Scotland, you'll vote for the SNP. Everything else is irrelevant while we're still under the yoke of the UK parliament.
Not a bad election video alright. However, there's something so annoying about bad Scottish acting.
oh aye n a knew that wis gaelic pal, just the rest of what he was saying doesnae sound scottish -for instance who wants to have a weak prison system, a bungling parliament ( that basically represents a talk shop with no real power) you guys kin keep watching braveheart n dreaming all ye's want, but if we are to become independent we need to think of the practicalities...cannae just dream aboot n use gaelic terms -so you sort yersels oot n get back to me ..........
Just wait when you have to pay for it all.
This guy is right and wrong
Monty Python rip off.
@NOVATICANWARS Let me make this clear. Being a Scottish Nationalist does not mean we are Anti-English racists, in fact, I myself am half english. Time and time again have they kept the vast majority of their promises (84/94 promises), as listed in this video which is far more than the promises Labour gov has ever kept - that is far from lying. Your comment on immigrants proves your ignorance as the Scot gov has no juristiction over immigration that is a power westminster keeps.
Labour all the way :|
All the way down the drain...at best.
It's amazing what you can acheieve when westminister isn't involved!
glad to see the SNP going on the offensive by shouting loud about what they have acheived. i will certianly be giving them my vote this election. whilst they may have not been perfect, they have been good Also like the staring role from jimmy chisolm. One of the finest stage actors this country has!
Its not so much the need of the Union (i do believe that the people of Scotland can govern themselves) its the belief in the union we fought in two world wars together, we go into the Olympics together, a third of colonial governors were Scottish, Glasgow my home city was seen as the empire's second city, i have English friends i see them as my countrymen, i see myself as a Scottish Brit and always will.
Gay!
Ok let me get this straight. We seperate from UK, one of the major countries in eu, just so we can make our own "decisions". Two reasons this is bad: we will have less say in eu, as will England, so they have more control over both of us, and judging by Russia's reaction of Ukraine being pro-eu, i would not say that being ruled by eu is any better. Reason two: even if we get independence, we still don't get to make decisions, guess who does: the Scottish govt. They are smart, they will give us options to vote on which then makes us feel as if we are making all these decisions but actually, it will be the same as in UK because we do not choose what we vote, we just vote for what they choose. Either way, the Scottish PEOPLE are not getting any independence, all we are getting is new DICATATORS. Vote Yes or No because either way nothing will change for US, if you want independence for real and want to be FREE PEOPLE then rule No. 1 do not vote in parties that will rule you
You must be feeling rather silly right now.
SHARIA NATIONAL PARTY
Labour all the way :|
