    If I ask for fish & chips, I don't expect to get salmon & chips. So there you have it. Salmon and fish are very different beasts.

    I believe in Farage's chip shop they give you caviar instead of sauce and sea bass instead of cod.

    ...but there's still a queue outside (probably waiting for the bus).

    Why do you think they should just ignore what the Scottish electorate voted for ?

    Better get on with it as Ruth Davidson has more chance of being the next First Minister than the Nats have of winning IndyRef2!

    can anyone tell me how rUk will manage to stay afloat ?

    very often Indy supporters have to cite all the fish, the whisky the energy, financial district etc and very often they are told that's not enough for 5 million people


    What do the rUK have that manages to keep 65 million people afloat ( cause I've also heard us Scots are subsidised and could never survive)

    Why do you think they should just ignore what the Scottish electorate voted for ? How silly. That sort of thing would see off the SNP and Greens quick smart in future votes. Soooooo, a re-run it must be.

    Many of the Scottish electorate voted for an SNP administration following the "once in a generation" Independence Referendum simply because they felt it was "safe" to do so!

    The same people who had previously voted SNP, not because they had any interest in Independence at all, but because the were either disenchanted with the 2 main parties, or they were believed the SNP ran a fairly competent administation, (hindsight unfortunately has proved otherwise).

    Not for one minute, given that the Independence question had been settled once and for all, did this section of the electorate expect their vote to be used as a mandate or justification to manipulate the UK government in applying pressure for a re-run.

    To suggest the "will of the Scottish people" is somehow being denied by respecting the result of the referendum is either illogical, dishonest or fairly transparent propaganda.

    The SNP won't be allowed another referendum for a long time therefore there won't be one.

    No official referendum. :naughty:

    No official result. :naughty:

    No Indy for you, Shakey & Co. :naughty:
