Who takes part in those polls? I've never once been asked/canvassed to take part in a poll. I take all these with a rather large bucket full of salt!

They were out in force in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago. Few outside Waverley and some on St Andrews Sq, more on George St and a few on the corner of Hannover and Queen St. Seemed to be getting a load of folks to stop too. They asked me and I just said "sorry, I don't speak English" and walked on. Always confuses them for enough time to be on my way.

So a few people stopped in Scotland's second city and that is considered a solid reliable cross section of society to publish utter urine?

Lol, can't trust those politicians.

Ideal opportunity now to get Scotland and the SNP out of our hair.
They are holding England back and there is no point in pandering to them any more.
Just wish they would declare UDI.

How on earth are the SNP going to be 'holding England back'. And in what way is 'England' pandering to the SNP? Explain please.

And what's happened to NI and Wales...?

Did you have a scottish wife or girlfriend who dumped or something?
your attitude to them and their country is shocking.
A lot of the banter/rivalry is light hearted but If ever needed they would be there for us

Your attitude is pure spiteful

I admire honesty. Rather people spat it out than went round in circles.

if the above is true.

Sorry but that is not how to behave, have respect for your counterparts, if you expect respect yourself.

Bad show.

Sometimes when you lose, its difficult to lose gracefully, and sometimes when you win it means so much to you, you dance around. I doubt she would have done it if Jo Swinson had been stood in front of her. Bit of a non-story really.

To give Nicola some credit she does say at the end "despite the shocking reaction i do feel for her" so not as bad as it looks in reality

Have to agree to disagree for sure:), shows a complete lack of respect for your counterparts. I could have understood more if this had been caught on someones mobile phone or in private, but whilst she knew she was being taped by sky TV.

Allows you to see what is really going on behind some peoples faces, before the brain fully engages and think, oh poo what I have just done and then gives the correct answer.

Bad show, no respect.

So Nicola Sturgeon says Boris Johnson has "no right" to stand in the way of another Scottish independence referendum! Oh yes he does he has been voted the PM of the UK so has every right to carry out strategies that the Government believes to be in the interest of the UK.

Have you never scored a goal in an important match, or a try? Ran an important race, or sank a putt for the club k'out championship? A celebration with your mates, then turn to your opponent and with the deepest grace, thank them for a great match?

There are poor winners and losers, Is Sturgeon one of them? I don't know her well enough to say.

Agree to disagree.

if thats the case at the moment Scotland is part of the UK, returned 48 of 59 seats, if Scotland want to have another Ref how is it not in the interest of the UK?

if you wait till the end she even says her reaction was poor and said she felt for her, not sure what OP says is correct

Sturgeon only started taliking up another referendum after they had won a load of seats back from Labour.
I don’t think another referendum will be any help to anyone after the last one was a once in a generation vote.
