    Yes well. :rotfl:

    Yes well what?

    Scotland doesn't want to leave the UK.

    Just because you have tried hard over many thousands of posts, you, (and the minority of like minded individuals), do not speak for the majority of Scots.

    Misplaced grudge and unfairness writ large.....again. :)

    Aww, times they are a changing. The Tories are doing all the work for Nicola. Below is before even a referendum is refused or a vote date set. Fabulous news.

    Time to ditch all those 'polling shows Scotland doesn't want' sound bites.

    Seems the oil isn't running out either. More good news for any indy campaign in the next few months.

    Breaking: forecast for future UK oil + gas production raised from 8bn barrels (2015) to 11.9bn: @OGAuthority (>43bn already extracted) Due to more efficient, lower cost production: technical advances, new finds, 30 new fields on stream
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    Shakey, why don't you get a different hobby? Rather than quoting things from Wings you could be putting all this effort into Free Palestine, Save the Whales, crowdsourcing for the treatment of rare diseases. You could genuinely do something worthwhile with your time that doesn't involve slowly turning into a Scottish Nationalist Gollum, shunned by all and living in the shadows.

    I completely understand why when you and many other folks here having spent ages building up all the 'indy is dead' and 'Scots are too poor' stuff.... start to get a bit tetchy and feel the need to up the personal attacks ( rather than address the debate to be had ) when the polls start showing otherwise.

    I mean just look at all those previous No voters on that Panelbase poll above. It's absolutely fantastic to see. So is all that good news about oil and the fact it's still got quite a future ahead of it. Holyrood will make a much better job of managing the taxes from that.

    Your posts though, and the personal attacks rather than any debate or getting stuck into the issues. Boring as.. on a 'debate forum'. Why are you even here ? :laugh:

    Me thinks they should settle it- how about a referendum?

    Instead of 'dependence' how about independence?
    Or to put it as all other countries in the works call it- normality.

    If you are that sure it will be a NO vote next time why don't you support a new Scottish Independence referendum?

    Maybes you are not so sure and are really worried

    Yeah, sounds reasonable, (NOT); why don't we skip what was agreed and check every 2nd Sunday at the behest of a few lonely voices on the internet to see if the Scottish people have learned nothing from Brexit, and are prepared to vote themselves into financial disadvantage, further division, and a huge drop in ability to care for the poor/vulnerable in our society? :)

    All for what reason exactly? Arklight is right above^^. Why not find a more justifiable cause for your energies. Presenting Scotland as under some kind of mis-rule from WM is an insult to the people around the world that do have a genuine injustice to fight.

    It may benefit rUK readers to appreciate that the indy debate rages only on places like this now, no-one up here is supporting independence even close to the levels of 2014, (despite the stage managed marches involving tiny percentages of the populace).

    It's dead as a duck, despite the desperate spinning and misinformation of the propagandists around here.

    "Stick to the debate"....yes, we have done, for thousands upon thousands of posts, pages, tweets, discussion, speeches etc, etc. Pity some on the YES side don't posses the insight to realise the NO side has won that debate. :)

    OK, if Scotland do finally manage a new referendum, can we please bill them for it?

    Oh, and if you are so rich, can we please have back all the extra money you begged off us because you were so poor.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
