I notice that you (in mercy?) did not even highlight the strange McFadyen phrasing ‘The Harry Potter author”…”has been collecting a torrid of abuse”.

Perhaps she meant “a torrent of abuse”?
It would be uncharitable to suggest she is really illiterate, so I will suggest instead that a spellchecker or predictive text system pounced, and she did not notice in time.

But, wait. I thought there was supposed to be a “raft of vile abuse”. In this metaphor, is the raft of vile abuse being carried on the torrent of abuse, and if both the raft and the torrent are composed of abuse, which is the worse abuse: the raft, or the torrent?

Or if they are each just as bad, why distinguish them? It’s a bit confusing.

I am still looking for my “Dear JK” essay, an open letter, or any reply to it.

“In fact they deserve much worse.”

Similar to previous shite you’ve posted beside your Palestinian Flag gravatar Jamie.

No need to lower it to gutter level veiled threats of violence Jamie.

Lest you’re a Troll hoping to make it onto JK/McFadyens wall of abusie comments.

“Rock at 12.14 am

The Scottish Government do not have the power to amend the franchise. That power is reserved.”

I don’t think it is.

The Scottish government foolishly let the rotten to the core Electoral Commission run the referendum. Next time it must not.

“May I also add that I know many people who were born and grew up outwith Scotland that voted YES, my own man and at least a third of my local SNP group included.”

The vast majority of English settlers and EU nationals voted No.

This time most EU nationals will probably vote yes, but the loyalty of the vast majority of English settlers is to England, not Scotland.

“It’s cos the current pound coin is an easy forgery..
The new one is to be composed of two types of metal (like the £2) to make this harder.”

Isn’t steel hard enough for them, Turnbull?”

Not hard… difficult…

“@ Rock, 5:30pm

I’m not with you on your idea of the franchise for Indyref2 being restricted to people with at least one Scottish grandparent.”

I said “for example”. There may be other better suggestions.

The UK denied millions of EU nationals living in the UK from voting in the Brexit referendum.

In my view, this was right. It wouldn’t be fair for non-UK nationals to have a say in the future of the UK.

Same applies to non-Scots having a vote on the independence and sovereignty of Scotland.

There will have to be a restriction on those who can vote.

The vast majority of English settlers consider England to be their parentland, not Scotland. They should not have the right to deny independence to Scotland.

Once independent, all residents should be given the opportunity to get Scottish nationality and be fully equal citizens.

Although the Tories and Thatcher’s government have been proven many times to be corrupt liars, and West Yorkshire Police have been proven corrupt liars over Hillsbourgh, and of taking no action against organised paedophile groups, the Tories have decided, on your behalf, that we do not need an enquiry into the fact that the criminals in charge of West Yorkshire Police followed the instructions of Thatcher’s criminal cabinet, and instructed the Police to attack the Miners, who had legitimately gone on strike.

The Beat Bobbies who were there are willing to testify
against their superiors instructions to attack and to lie in their statements regarding the day’s events.

Could one of the Tories show me where in Law it advised that the Police should no longer use a minimum of force to apprehend a suspect, but should beat them to a pulp if the
suspect disagrees with Tory government policies?

UK, this is your future!
The Tories make the law, change it to suit their needs, and don’t apply it when it may punish one of their own.

Big Brother right in your face.
