Another day brings the excitement of another reply from Labour Hame's duty officer on Twitter -"Sorry, that doesn't qualify. Either "yes" or "no" is acceptable - no qualifications. Try again."
Oh dear, oh dear, you've walked into this one, sunshine. OK, I will try again.
The answer to the first part of the question, "should California secede from the US?" is -
NO.
(The reason is that, as I made clear in my previous answer, it is entirely a matter for the people of California to decide for themselves, and there is ample evidence that, in sharp contrast to Scotland, there is absolutely no public interest in independence.)
The answer to the second part of the question, "are Californians who want to remain American anti-Californian?", is -
NO.
I await with baited breath the reason why even one word "yes" or "no" answers with no qualifications still do not constitute proper answers.
This is actually quite unbelievable...
ReplyDeleteIf only the rest of the country could see the infantile way these people behave.
Just when you thought he couldn't get any sillier...along comes some more stunning stuff from the Labour Hame team!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading the tweets above with some sort of glee. I do love a good unequal fight... (of the intellectual sort obviously!)

ReplyDeleteThere are some Californians who want to secede, but not from the US. There are some Republicans in the North who want to create a Northern California, and have a no-tax paradise state within the Union for all those nice Libertarian folks.
I wonder if any SLABs have noticed the parallels between the way they acted in SP3 and the Republicans in the US, with their oppose everything agenda
Anon : there are also bona fide secessionist movements in other parts of the US - Vermont, Alaska, Hawaii. Which makes the choice of California even more peculiar.

ReplyDeleteAnother thing that comes out of this is that one thing Admin doesn't seem to be able to conceive as an option is
"It is up to the people of California to decide"
But democracy and self-determination seem alien concepts to Labour for some reason

ReplyDelete"It is up to the people of California to decide""
Absolutely. Which is a very Alex Gallagher-esque world view - so we've got yet another suspect for who the Admin might be!
