Maybe someone should tell her that she and her country had their referendum and they voted to remain in the UK.

Therefore they should accept the whole of the UK's decision on the matter.

She keeps banging on about Scotland voted to remain in the EU.

Has no one told her that Scotland's votes where included in the referendum? There say is included in the figures.

If remain won could the North East bang on about they voted to leave and want to leave the UK blah blah. I don't think so.

Would Scotland, as an independent country, meet the necessary requirements for EU membership?  Sturgeon appears to assume that they would be welcomed almost unconditionally.

She's just posturing to save face. No one in Scotland wants another referendum for a long time and the people are not going to suddenly vote to seperate just because of EU membership

About 1 million less people voted in the EU referendum in Scotland than in the Scottish independence referendum - admittedly partly due to the fact that 16 and 17 year olds were allowed to vote in the latter - but what happened to the new engagement with politics that was supposedly stimulated by the Scottish referendum?

per capita far more English people live in Scotland. It's not even a close contest.
it is estimated after the last census 750k Scots live amongst the population of 53 million so 1.4%
It was also estimated that 477k English people live in Scotland so roughly 9%.
Funny how facts get distorted innit.

i make that more scots than English, look there are millions of Scots living and working in England, they have been welcome and it has been their right.
If they want independece they will no longer be welcome or have that right. It is important to be honest.

From an earlier post:

According to the Petroleum Exploration Society of GB bulletins, just 16 exploration/development wells will be drilled this year, the lowest for decades.  Decommissioning costs (removal of wells/installations) are estimated to be around £58 billion, mostly to be paid by the UK (or Scottish) government.  With tax breaks etc, UK income from the North Sea this year is going to be about minus £1 billion, so I recall reading.  You really dodged the bullet by voting to remain.  The Scots are too smart to vote out again.  They elect the SNP because they know - correctly - they will extract the maximum from the English.  Meanwhile the SNP elected cohorts are in the process of showing themselves to be just as corrupt, venal, sexually depraved and prone to substance abuse and violence as any other political party.  It was good while the dream lasted.

bodil, I refer you to the McCrone Report. Also read up on the embargo on oil exploration in the Clyde estuary imposed by the MoD.

Two years ago, Better Together insisted - ad nauseum -  that Scotland's place in Europe would only be guaranteed by a No vote in the indy ref. They lied. Similarly, they insisted that dozens of banks and other companies would move south of the border in the event of a YES victory. Now, let's see what happens IF Scotland becomes independent and in the EU. Maybe lots of companies desperate to operate within the EU will move NORTH to Scotalnd, bringing thousands and thousands of jobs.Happy

Even if the Scots voted for independence, Spain would probably try and block their entry into the EU.
