stich that

BTW here was another fairy story that the Scottish press ran with.

An independent Scotland is only a matter of time. Like other nations chained by the empire in the past centuries, every country should have the right to freedom. Winston Churchill urged young men to fight on the continent against Hitler "that small nations might be free", but that obviously didn't include the small countries who were effectively in bondage to England.
However, I see in the actions and attitudes of my children that independence is only a matter of time. Attitudes are changing, and why not? The Scottish people are ruled by a government in England they didn't vote for, presided over by a Prime Minister nobody voted for. To top it all, we will now get a separation from Europe that Scotland steadfastly voted against.

Despite the narrow referendum defeat, the Scots have rejected Westminster and voted SNP at the general and Scottish elections.

Leaving aside the arguments about economics, is that democracy?

that obviously didn't include the small countries who were effectively in bondage to England.
That would appear to say that we haven't had the choice of freedom.
We could have asked for a referendum at any time and did so twice so fail to see your point.
Only 38% of the electorate voted for independence which hardly describes an appetite for it does it.

Leaving aside the arguments about economics, is that democracy?
Is that because there is no economic case?

There is no immediate prospect of revival in the oil industry.
However should it come billions will be required in investments to aid it's recovery.
As regards the whisky then that income is already included in our deficit which would be nearly £19B without it.

Not saying it'll never happen but it would be madness to split the union at this time.

Large numbers of the youngsters that want to split now will change their mind as they get older. It's always been the same, people get wiser as they age. I'd raise the voting age personally, the young are too easily swayed.

Torqu 16 and 17 year olds were allowed to vote in the last indyref.
A cynical ploy by the SNP. Will probably keep lowering it til they get the result they want.

Spain.....


Scotland will have to go to the back of the queue.

She wants Sterling and for interest rates to be set by the B of E.

That's not independence.

She wants to be run by Brussels.

That's not independence.

If she advocated the Scottish Pound and to break free from the EU then she would have my respect.

Daily Express:

However, a new poll has found that 68 per cent of voters agreed with the statement that “Scotland should continue using the pound, rather than creating a new Scottish currency”.

Only seven per cent of people disagree, with 25 per cent uncertain. Once this group is removed, a whopping 91 per cent of Scots want to keep sterling rather than adopt a Scottish pound.

He added: “This is a mistake Sturgeon obviously does not want to repeat.

“Aside from a currency union, there are four options available to an independent Scotland.

“The first two include a Scottish currency, either pegged or floating.

“The third option is to join the Euro.

“The fourth option is called ‘sterlingisation’.

“The first two have been clearly and comprehensively rejected by Scottish voters.

sterlingisation: A little known nuance within British currency legislation is that for every Scottish banknote in circulation, there s a Bank of England banknote held in the vaults of Scottish banks.

“Sterlingisation means that Scottish banknotes would be withdrawn from circulation and replaced by Bank of England banknotes. It really is as simple as that.''


Clear as mud

I don't think she actually wants or expects to get full independence.

Just after extorting yet more money and power from Westminster as a sweetener to stay

Not quite speaking for everyone was he.

Won't happen this generation, or indeed the next. You can say what you like about the Scottish people but they aren't stupid enough to fall for Sturgeon and Salmon's jingoistic rhetoric. Scottish 'independence' will result in a complete collapse of everything the Scots hold dear within a generation.

Complete drivel done to death by unionists with zero evidence.

1 There is NO queue.

2 There has NEVER been any official suggestion of a Spanish veto.

3 Catalunya will hold an independence referendum in September, albeit against the wishes of Madrid. If the vote is YES, there is the strong possibility that Catalunya will become independent BEFORE Scotland, thereby rendering any thought of a Spanish veto because of the Catalan situation totally REDUNDANT.

4 The constitutional situation in Spain is completely different, as recognised and referenced by many Spanish politicians. Put simply, Catalunya is legally part of Spain. For the Scottish situation to be equivalent, Scotland would have to be part of England. Patently that is not and never has been the case.

If I was T May or any of her supporters/Brexit fans, I'd be more concerned with Spanish attitudes to the future of Gibraltar during Brexit talks. Add a possible Irish unity vote into the mix and you have a growing storm, and before long a hell of a lot of people will be wishing they'd never heard of Brexit.
