Perhaps Sturgeon should read their report before she goes calling ref mk2. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jul/02/sc...

Supreme Leader Nicola and Comrade Alex will make lots of noise about a second referendum but even they know that the vote would go against the separatists again - we should just call their bluff.
I don't want to see another Scottish independence referendum - but, the people of Scotland voted to remain in a UK which was part of the EU. fluffnik said:
...and at least some of them only voted "No" because of the lie that only a "No" vote would guarantee Scotland's place in the EU.
It did guarantee it, at the time.If you want that guarantee to last forever then I want the once in a lifetime promise to last, erm, a lifetime.

Nice beat to it. I would say if he upped the tempo a touch it would work a lot better.

Aye, it's guff.
Scotland collects/pays its taxes and has about 2.5x GDP/capita.
Blimey and there was me thinking we were sending Scotland £9bn a year so they can keep their deficit in line with rUK's. Perhaps you can start sending us some money instead, so we can achieve this massive GDP per capita as well. Of course some evidence to back up your claim isn't likely to be forthcoming is it!Scotland collects/pays its taxes and has about 2.5x GDP/capita.
After having no luck in Brussels, you-know-who is still desperately trying to make the headlines.

That maybe true, but now Scotland has two new choices:1. Out of the EU and in the UK
2. Out of the EU and out of the UK
They're the options and there's not a lot anyone can do about it.

It does show an enormous amount of desperation to stay in the lime light doesn't it. I do not recall anyone, on either side of the debate, raising any notion that existing EU residents would be treated any differently. It really is a non-issue!http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-36693048

Perhaps the government should reply requesting confirmation that, in the unlikely event of Scottish independence, the rights of all English residents in Scotland will be guaranteed.

Literally nobody mentioned the issue during the campaign, she's just saying anything to get a few column inches and stay 'relevant' when she's anything but. What's next? 'Nicola Sturgeon gets EU tattoo' on her ankle? The ring of stars around her nipple?

that may need to rise, the deficit forecast to be 17 billion next year.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
