Interesting in what way. Becoming a farce. With the entire political establishment looking less and less fit for purpose. More interested in their own agendas than the well being of the broader population. Dark days may lie ahead. The EU was formed to bring peace to Europe cafter 200 years of wars. Seems now to be creating a very different atmosphere.

oh it's been a farce for along time now ... but it's getting more interesting watching it all unravel even more,

I noticed today politicians were being interviewed about the article 50 situation ... non of them from Scotland or any of the Scottish politicians that brought the case forward

I imagine there will have been a few people up here that noticed that as well

Indeed, all the Nats to help stoke the fires of grievance.

To the rest of us we are just grateful not to hear their whining.

While we are on the subject why haven't the Nats called for a vote a no confidence in the government? Instead they are hiding behind Labour's coat tails; "Please Sir (Corbyn) can you do it"!

Not at all. Do you not have some 'kid on' 'Scotch' words to back up your drivel as usual?

Another Westminster stitch up.

Basically, the Supreme Court has ruled that Holyrood had the right to legislate on Brexit, and that its continuity bill was largely fine when it was passed (one section apart).


*BUT*...quite a few bits of it now can't stand, because extra protections were then added to the UK Act

Short version: with the exeception of one section, Holyrood's continuity Bill *was* within legislative competence when passed, but because of the UK government chicainery in referring the Scottish Bill to the Court & passing its Brexit Continuity Bill later, some bits now aren't.

Still, all grist to the mill at the moment.

Doughty Scots will not let the insult of Brexit go unanswered. Scotland will have her say, and be reckoned with.

All that's missing from that is "Remember Bannockburn"!

You haven't seen the latest panelbase poll then have you. You lot are going backwards.

Also a Tory win in the latest council by election in Dumfries & Galloway.

If you can't gain an advantage now with all the current turbulence you never will.
