Scottish ref mark 2

[Deleted member 15344]

Only poison is from south of the border sunshine. A poisonous campaign followed by a poisonous aftermath.

Let's not start to be generic towards people both sides of the border - there are a lot of people on the forum on both sides who respect each other - last thing we need is a build up of "anti Scottish or anti English"

Ah. You read it in the paper.

Nope, I read it on several newspaper websites. I'm assuming that they haven't all made up the story and the quotes. Or would you prefer if I wait until it's on Wings over Scotland as that seems to be your bible up there?

Well Wings does an excellent job of pointing out the BS that newspapers sometimes publish...

You do realise that the consent of the devolved parliaments of Scotland, Wales & NI, is required for the UK to leave the EU?

Please show how they have that constitutional right? I think you probably made that up as it suits your own agenda.

Intersting difference between consent and the right to veto. And I don't think a poll of 650 and 1600 is truly representative.

That aside, and purely from a democratic perspective, I'd be uncomfortable with having a leader that chooses not to recognise the validity of a referendum. What happens in Scotland if she doesn't agree with a vote there?

Oops, she's done that for the last two years.

Can you imagine the quite justified outrage from the SNP if Westminster used the same rules to block Scottish independence. I can't believe that the SNP would be so stupid as to block leave from happening as it would pretty much torpedo their chacnes of ever having an independent Scotland and would make their whole purpose for existing irrelevant.

The last Scottish Indi Referendum was explained as a once in a generation decision and the EU referendum was already going to happen with no link to it being related to the Scottish position.

And with that, I'm out.

Nope. I am from north of the "border". I cannot stand Sturgeon, Salmond or the SNP.

Don't speak for me or the majority of "us", thank you.

Remind me of how it kicked off after the last failed Scottish referendum vote...

We had and still do have enough poison, venom, bile, call it what you want, swilling about up here as an aftermath of 2014. Here's hoping the next process is played out in a far more honourable manner.

I have my doubts though.

In a non biased way off course

 

[Doon frae Troon]

We also need a new shadow Scottish Secretary as Ian Young has resigned.
For those not in the know Ian is Scotland's last Labour MP so no doubt we shall get an English or Welsh shadow secretary...super.

Of course, but no different to all the other Scottish newspapers.

Wings can be very funny at times, especially the Rev's latest offing.
Daren't put it up as I shall get those nasty rude boys calling me names again. :lol:

Nice of you not to mention the people of Wales in the latest edition. Perhaps you can do an amendment.

Further amendment required. Ms Sturgeon has not had any talks with EU ministers as she herself has stated today.

I know it's hard to keep up but do try.

You read it then, helps the headcount.:lol:

To be fair, there is some dire stuff in it but occasionally there's some really insightful stuff. Worth as read providing its done with an open mind.
