    You'd think there was more important news to report on. Not as if anything is going to significantly change simply by replacing the PM.

    So lovely to see you again. I hope you are well ( and I am being sincere :) ). However your post above is simply irrelevant in the face of Brexit. And that's because you're breaking up the UK all by yourselves..

    Sturgeon need to do nothing much other than sit back and watch disillusioned, regretful and heartsore once ardent No voters... realise that not many in Westminster give a flying toss about Scotland, unionists in Scotland or how they vote. They don't care. England and Brexiteers will gladly pay the price of losing Scotland if it means Brexit goes ahead. See Chris Deerin here ( arch unionist columnist) as an example. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2019/06/tories-would-now-rather-face-scottish-independence-lose-brexit

    It's a painful realisation and lesson for a lot of them like Chris : but Nicola Sturgeon's majority in a second indy vote will come to her. No problem at all. :cool:

    England and the Tory party have gone slightly bonkers. The Tory Party are about to elect Boris Johnson as PM, who'll come to an arrangement ie a No Deal Brexit, with Nigel Farage when the inevitable Vote of No Confidence happens shortly after BoJo is confirmed. Then there will probably be a General Election.


    Tory/Labour wipeout in Scotland with the SNP standing explicitly and only on an independence/2nd ref manifesto. ]The SNP will win just about every seat and the Referendum Bill will be rushed through Holyrood within days. What will you do then ?

    Come back here and have a jolly good laugh at your expense when it's No. Again!

    No one will be able to hear a thing between the hysterical laughter and champagne corks popping at SNP HQ. :beer::rotfl:
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    A BJ Government will indeed be celebrated by your mob come July, then the GERS figures will come out in August and it'll be sackcloth and ashes again. :)

    We have nothing to laugh about in Scotland! The 'Better Together' strategy really turned out well for Labour in the last referendum didn't it? Labour led the campaign took all the nationalist flack and arguably won the debate against the SNP and then we lost all our MP's from the backlash. Labour is now in the position of being unelectable in the UK because of the lack of MP's in Scotland..... the SNP has sucked up all the anti Westminster vote and the tories have sucked up the 'mollycat' constituency. That's cost us 40 odd MP's I reckon! Now why did that happen?.......
    ......I remember that 'Better Together' campaign very well. We promised people that they should vote to protect the pound in their pocket and the best way to do that was to vote against independence because that was the only way they could guarantee remaining in the EU with all its benefits....we also told them an independent Scotland would not be in the EU and furthermore would have to jump through many hoops to join as an independent country! When do you think Labour will be trusted again in Scotland?
