Nicola Sturgeon

She's obviously not a stupid person but I wonder why she can't see the stupidity of many of her own statements/speeches.

I'd like to think much of it just political rhetoric made for shock effect but unfortunately I'm finding it hard to extract any thread of logic that is helpful to Scotland and its long term strategic position.
 
I'm no cybernat and maybe I'm missing something but I dont see too much wrong, it seems to me she is trying to get a guarantee for those EU nationals already living here (who aid the economy) that they can stay post any EU exit (if that ever happens) as she has no control over that as its a UK political issue, that issue will apply to hundreds of thousands of people in England too who may be equally worried.
She's also trying to score political points (that's what they do) by pointing out that 7 weeks on from the referendum we seem to be no clearer on what may or may not happen other than its so complicated they cant implement article 50 for years and also cant get the staff they need for the new Govt Brexit departments and meantime Westminster has gone quiet as they're all off on extended holidays. Reported you now get Euro 99c for £1 now when exchanging. I dont mind Sturgeon having a dig about it tbh.:mad:
 
There is indeed absolutely nothing stopping the UK government giving a guarantee to all non-UK-nationals that they will be able to stay in the UK for as long as they like with equal rights as all UK nationals. It can do that unilaterally without the need for any negotiation with the rEU. As it is surely 99% certain that this guarantee will be given it is shameful that the government is delaying making this announcement. We just aren't going to be throwing millions of folks out of this country - it just will not happen.
 
We all recognise that there will be little or no change in residency.

Whether you like it or not the Brits living in the EU and the EU citizens living here are pawns in negotiations and you're not going to give up any leverage will getting squared up to do a deal.

BBC news reporting one dodgy bureau de change offering 99c to the pound.... But didn't bother about the fall in unemployment ... They are becoming embarrassing

Which bit of the news was that? Which if these stories would you (if you were a news editor) think was more unusual or of interest? Did they say this was due to the Brexit vote or since the Brexit vote? Anyway, how can unemployment really be falling with all these immigrants stealing our jobs or claiming our benefits? Good to see Paranoia still alive and well.

As for OP. Can't see the issue. Government doing one thing, opposition saying they'll do something else. In reality it'll make no difference either way, just points scoring as usual.

I was just pointing out the likeness as I have nothing else positive to say about the woman.
She will eventually come to realise that the Majority of the Scottish people voted to remain a part of the UK just recently in democratic ballot.

She will then soon get it into her head that Brexit was a democratic UK vote and not a country by country one and then the penny will drop that she and Scotland are oot of the EU along with the rest of the UK.

She is a Scottish Nationalist - her goal and that of her party is independence for Scotland - preferably within the EU. She will continue to campaign in whatever way possible for that - why would she stop?

She probably wont but I just pointed out some facts about the Scottish independence vote and the UK Brexit vote and the fact that I do not care for her.

Because her agenda is herself and not her country.... Fortunately she has made a complete fool of herself and it matters not what she says anymore.

Very true, she seems to be totally out of touch with the majority of Scottish voters.
There is every probability that come the next general election Scotland will vote in more than one Tory or Labour MP.:lol:
