You had a referendum and you voted to stay in. Then you had an election and you elected a load of Tory MPs. If you get anymore votes you’ll probably end up giving the Highlands to Jacob Rees-Mogg.

The Scots electorate voted for another referendum though in certain circumstances. That's democracy for you.



The SNP are going back up as far as polling is concerned. The Conservative revival in traditional SNP/Tory heartlands looks like being very short lived. Davidson and the Tory MP's couldn't hide behind 'no indy ref' forever. Not with this current shambles going on round them.

Plenty of room in Scotland for people to move to. Hadrians Wall can then be reinstated creating the hard border that the EU will demand.

Have you seen that crack that runs along the diagonal of a map of Scotland?

That's no natural thing.

It's a well disguised docking port.

Unclip a few large connectors, and the SNP 'chosen few' can sail the top bit off to a new home on the EU mainland. Call it "Scotland 2.0".

It might be a bit of a shock for the EU gang to see some volume West->East migration though.

Scottish independence is the collapsed souffl! that was put too low in the oven. It won’t happen in my lifetime's or anyone else’s.

That bozo in Bath is more likely to get a lifetime award for contribution to Amiga journalism than Shakey is to celebrate Indy.

Say it isn't so!

I want to spend our £8 billion a year on something else. Surely it's not beyond the capabilities of the SNP to bamboozle 51% of the Scottish electorate into embracing a generation's worth of austerity in return for the promise of endless reruns of Braveheart on tv, or whatever.

Hadrian's Wall is well south of the border. Berwick is about 65 miles north of Wallsend for example.

Besides. it's an English Heritage site. We don't want to f that up with concrete slabs and razor wire. We'd be better off surrounding Berwick with the necessary guard towers and machine guns.

The UK is on it's last legs Arky. Nearly half of Scotland want out, Most English Tories want Scotland out ( as well as NI ) and would happily see it as a Brexit price worth paying. Corbyn, like Milliband, is already happy to dismiss forming any sort of minority govt with elected Scottish MP's. That makes a lot of Scots voters angry.

Polling this week showed that 77% of English Tory members would rather see Scottish independence than abandon Brexit; much the same proportion of May’s party say they would sacrifice the Irish peace process too.

Not much longer now though. If NI gets special treatment it's going to kick off in Scotland.

Also means that every Nation of the UK, bar Scotland, gets what it voted for from Brexit.

If it's no deal, it's going to kick off. If Scotland is out of the Single Market it's going to kick off. We're all just waiting to see which one it's going to kick off about really !

Seething anger and the prospect of Brexit induced economic calamity is going to drive the next vote :- Not the happy clappy, rising souffle positivity stuff circa 2014.

All the focus would be down South and you know it.

What leads you to suspect that Westminster put Edinburgh above the needs of the City of London?

100% of everyone in England could want the UK to break up but it’ll still require Scotland to actually vote to go. Which will never happen.

Don’t do it to yourself anymore Shakey, just stop. Eject ‘Braveheart the Director's Cut’ from your Blu-ray player. Take down the life size posters of Alex Salmond from the living room, stop The Proclaimers playing on repeat in the car, and cancel to the direct debit to that plonker in Bath. He’s spending it all on Bucky, Dominos, and rent to his mum,

Just accept that you live in a country. A country called the United Kingdom. You and all the rest of you are legally and very bindingly British. You were born British and you will die British. Subjects of Her / Hjs Britannic Maj.

Forever.
