The king is dead long live the village idiot
Looks like it's going to happen . The SNP are going for it and I think they know this time is all in . I honestly think if we don't win this time it will be after I'm dead and buried before Scotland gets the chance again .
 
snp can want all they like mate will be the same outcome as last one. not everyone in Scotland wants it

So they're banging the drum for another referendum.
The SNP really don't like democracy do they.

They must be starting to realise now, that no matter how loud they bark, people are beginning to see how utterly useless they actually are. Not through paperwork, but actual real time, every day results. Even their own supporters are starting to leave the fold.

Let her call for another referendum because she'll fail. She knows she'll fail. There is absolutely nothing the SNP can offer an independent Scotland apart from bankruptcy.
 
Really you think we would be bankrupt? Funny how all the daily mail readers believe what they want when it suits them lol . Well I'm thinking they will only call this if this time they are sure we will win . No gambling this time . This is why every constituency is being asked to have meeting s to see what the feeling is . We only need to be lucky once .

Oh and just to let you know the SNP has the highest membership higher
 
i for one will be voting to stay just like i did last time.
 
but its not your generation that need to live with it . its the next few
 
Strange???
The last vote was very close.
Now that the UK has left Europe I think that small margin "will" go the other way.
I watched a program called.....
"the story of oil" (WOW)!!
Really did not know how much London loves Scottish oceans till I watched it.
Scotland leaving the UK will increase the price of fuel in England. Unfortunately there's a poor record with the UK with nations that have oil.
But the last vote was to remain in UK.

UK is very different place now.
Amazing what can happen in 6 months. Never mind 600 years.

It's called democracy.
If the most elected party in Scotland ask for it.
(give it)

Its not the ba'ath party.
(remember that smoking gun in oil rich Iraq.)

Leaving aside the pros and cons of having another referendum for the moment, the above statement doesn't really make any sense to me, as it flies in the face of the facts.

Maybe you could explain what exactly you mean? :err:
 
Odd that the SNP prefer to be independently governed by Brussels :Laugh::Laugh:
 
We voted no and we meant no why the fook is she pushing for self destruction. Lets stay united and sort this Brexit mess out as a whole and hopefully we will all come out it better in the long run

Better in than out at the minute.
Boris the blade is running about with the begging bowl out. Hard to take the man serious to be honest.
When you have a real Secretary of State (USA) standing on the same platform (in the uk) as boris and has to help him out with questions shows an issue.
What is being taken serious is Scotland's independence.
Lets see how it goes.
You do have to ask why it's got to this stage.
I do recall that there was more pandas in Scotland than elected conservatives.

Yet the Scottish ocean looks good in London.
Lets hope this referendum goes ahead.

personally it's just a matter of time till they go it alone.

just like a pint of Guinness.......

An independent Scotland would not benefit from the Barnet Formula nor could they meet financial criteria for EU membership.
 
You would have to replace Barnett with something else. Higher taxes, higher productivity or population growth. Possibly other factors too but it's not clear what those might be yet.

As for the EU, budget deficit is too high, the EU would impose corrective measures unless they did some 'creative accounting'. Something like they did to Greece, an economy which is not exactly successful.

that is wrong in so many levels . 1 we are a very rich country our taxes would more than cover our expenses you are mixing up the uk deficit with what Scotland would have . How much of this is because of the uk over spending on military . You need to look at the real figures mate .
10 key economic facts that prove Scotland will be a wealthy independent nation - Business for Scotland : Business for Scotland.
 
Economists views vary.
Ok I'll put it this way Norway was produced 40 billion barrels of oil. The "uk " 42 billion barrels of oil.
Both Scotland and Norway have just over 5.3 million people living in their country . Norway is the 4th richest country in the world . Has the penny dropped yet mate . Westminster will fight tooth and nail to keep scotland . Not because they love us they just love our oil gas really just our wealth . All the people that say oh you couldn't make it yourselves just need to look at Norway . Also the money Westminster has stolen from us is in itself disgusting
