Scottish MEP embarrassed himself and his country.

Alyn Smith my hero

It was the most craven speech I ever heard.

The EU will look on losing the UK but gaining Scotland as a lousy deal.

jesus wept, scots truly have zero backbone. one of the most embarrassing moments in Scottish history

junker refusing to meet jimmy krankie tomorrow,poor scots no one wants them and there struggling to get independence,whilst telling everyone its their no 1 priority ,

still nowhere near as bad as your fitba team though ya plug!

The best thing that could happen to this Planet is for some advanced Alien civilization arriving and taking over the place. Humans are pricks and are destroying the world.

Obsessed Little Englanders,even the Welsh were pi5hing themselves

I suppose obsequious servility is at least a change from the customary pompous bluster witnessed in parliament but, by God, it was tough to stomach.  Is this Smith fellow actually Scottish?  I had always considered them a proud race, not grovelling sycophants.

Sturgeon represents less people than live in Yorkshire. On the World stage she is nothing more than a trumped up local council leader.

Sturgeon and Salmond,two small fish in a big pond.

Sturgeon represents about 10 times the population of Iceland imho

Biscar

No reason for her to turn up in Brussels.. Unless it's for a European remake of Thunderbirds.

What has happened to the Scots.....I'm worried people could think I'm Scottish because of my name

Scottish Nationalists are in thar dying throws ,if you see one do not approach ,just keep a safe distance dont corner ffs .

Scots played a major part in building the British Empire...now their guy in Brussels is pleading "It was nae us that voted leave Big Man"

This Alyn Smith guy is bonkers.

Scotland does about 10% trade with the European Union and 80% with the UK.

He wants Scotland to leave the UK and join the EU. Mentalist.

Juncker must be nervous about the idea of taking on England's job of subsidising the scots dependency culture without English taxpayers support.

"So you want to join .. ok, lets see your balance sheet .. so .. you're basically Greeks without the Salad?"

Edinburgh "The Athens of the North"

Nauseating, embarrassing, cringe-worthy, Pick any one of dozens of synonyms, you will still struggle to describe this display nearly well enough.

The poor bloke was probably traumatised at the prospect of having to return to Scotland.

why did he mention the people of london?...............,fair enough if he wants to make the case for the EU accepting scotland but London?..............does he want london to break away from the EU as well.

The majority of us Jocks regard ourselves as  European...certainly nothing in common
with Little Englander racist morris dancing tw&ts.

sofia...........scotland voted to stay with the racists as u call them................hold another scottish referendum and u can win the arguement

".certainly nothing in common with Little Englander racist morris dancing tw&ts."
No racism there then.

Sofia, you do realise 1 million Scottish people asked to leave, just 600,000 shy of the Remain vote, it's just a divided country as England.

There is nothing more odious and contemptable than being needy.
What must other countries think  when they see that Scottish twit.
Shameful.

Sofia, how long have you lot regarded yourselves European....since that sheet stirring witch sturgeon told you you were?

aye..every single constituency in Scotland voted remain...I would say that was fairly conclusive.

Some quality 'bants' from both sides.
I always love a home nations tear up, it always makes me laugh the stuff others are prepared to come up with to stick the boot in.

Scotland failed at replicating the empire and they have literally never got over it, they hate the fact England saved em.

I am European..what the f are you?

Not overwhelming vote wise though.....not even 2 to 1....no matter what that hideous little red headed bint says

There is nothing more odious and contemptable than being needy. What will other countries think of that Scottish twit.
Very shameful.

62-38...thats good enough for us.

Nothing uglier than begging.

Still not even 2to 1 hardly overwelming

and you can stick your Bullingdon Eton toffee nosed bum biters up yer arris as well.

Such cowardice disgraces the very name British, once i would have said scottish but not now. They have disgraced themselves with their nonsense

Just watched this Smith tw&t...never thought I would see a sweatie sink so low..I hope the Jocks are proud of him

those in all the eu countries who keep repeating this silly childish i,m european shoite are playing right into the hands of tusk,junker and co
as soon as 51% of all the countries say they are european,junker and co will declare theres no need for nations to have soveriegn governments and we,ll make all our laws in brussels , its their goal its upto the public if they achieve it

The jocks are thick enough to fall for adopting the Euro and building a new wall.. The red line will be the Mediterranean diet.

wee nicky changing the flag as we speak...

Selling his nation's soul to the Devil!

I voted for independence and I voted to leave. That double clearly in the minority.

Twice in 2 years the world order (US, IMF, ECB, EU, Goldman Sachs, BoE, JP Morgan, ratings agencies etc) lined up to tell Scots, "vote for X or else" and twice the majority did as they were told. That is the common denominator as I see it. Scots may feel slightly more European than the English but most of this is just doing what we were told mixed with political opportunism.

A lot of short memories aswell in regard to the then commission President saying EU entry for an independent Scotland would be 'difficult if not impossible' and a likely veto from Spain to stop Catalonia getting the wrong idea about democracy. 18 months later it was a love in with seemingly no debate within the SNP on the EU question - a stance that Labour were slated for during the indyref.

I'm firstly English & secondly British.

**** Europe

So Spain had come out and said there would be no Veto then, please post a link? You do realise that some SNP idiot telling the EU MEPs how great they are and how much he loves them, and them in turn clapping it, this doesn't change anything?

Indeed Ron

The 'short memories' I was referring to were clearly on the YES/Remain side.

Right you are!

"So you want to join .. ok, lets see your balance sheet .. so .. you're basically Greeks without the Salad?"

Honourable mention also to Goonthen: The poor bloke was probably traumatised at the prospect of having to return to Scotland.

And Fred: Scotland does about 10% trade with the European Union and 80% with the UK.

He wants Scotland to leave the UK and join the EU. Mentalist.

At the end of the day all  the bloke was doing was  begging to keep his job

I hate to admit it but I'm 10k better off since last Friday's plunge of the pound.

^ never heard such rubbish.

How's that, explain yourself

Greeks without the salad Brilliant.

Yes, I have to admit it was a good one

would be gold / silver well up since brexit

shares took a kicking

How much gold does themightymac have?

and how mch was it and when did he buy it that is relevant

its no good if it is worth 10,000 more that before brexit, if it was worth more 12 months ago. i don`t know

of course it might be an improvement, but it could still be a loss

more imfo required

A Lorry load

Catch a grip man.  U sound like someone from Aberdeen

No not Gold, who do you think I am, one of the Bee Gees

'The majority of us jocks regard ourselves as European"... The majority of Europeans regard you as jocks.

As I've pointed out before - British is more a political identity rather than a nationality - it equates to European in many respects.  European / British whatever - you can vote to be one or the other or neither.

English, Scots, Irish, French, German, Icelandic - are "proper" nationalities - you cant "vote" to be / or not be.

I suspect he is very worried about losing his 10000 Euros a month package , that must
make for a cosy lifestyle for him and his partner Jonathon.

feel sorry for this guy*

Imagine you are a left wing Scottish MEP , you basically have a job for life , you're thinking about the millions the Kinnocks made , you're gonna be sitting back there raking it in for decades....

And then theres this fkn Brexit

*not really

Wee nicki is over the moon now, she got her wish. She now has her audience with the european pope

Scotland can just have the Freedom of movement
and we can just have access to the Single market.

Nicola in Brussels is uncomfortable viewing.. It's like watching a dwarf juggling act on Britain's Got Talent. You know you shouldn't laugh.. But you just can't help it!

greeks without the salad

you obviously havnt been to dundee and tried their deep fied feta,

I think its a no lose situation, they have another neverendum, and if they vote stay within the UK, maybe the SNP will STFU ...at least for until something else pops up they can whine about....if they vote leave, good luck with keeping free prescriptions, no tuition fees, without huge tax rises, and the Barnet formula money sent there can go to Wales, NI and the NHS

The body language between Martin Shultz and Nicola didn't look encouraging. The look on his face was priceless when he said... "I listened carefully.. and I learned a lot". We know the feeling Herr Shultz!

2014 - Sturgeon "We want to be like Norway"
2016 - Sturgeon "We DONT'T want to be like Norway"

Shale gas is estimated to be worth upto 1 trillion and more, up in Scotland......Could be a game changer if oil prices remain low.  Funny how the SNP and wee nicky abstained from a vote against fracking 3 weeks prior to the EU referendum.

Spain and France tell Sturgeon to Frack Off 

Over a million Scots voted to leave the EU... .650,000 less the voted to stay. I think Sturgeon has hit the point of diminishing returns. Many will be appalled by her grovelling antics in Brussels.
