    curiously .. what does the Big Yin being interviewed on TV have to do with the SNP ? you never did explain that.. or the reason the SNP should never vote on the subject matter of Brexit ... did you forget ?

    Time has moved on. I'm sure the topic will resurface again though. Developed world appears to be crumbling down around us. With confrontation all over the place. Perhaps a further sign that the new dawn is rising in the East. The West being in slow decline.

    Think as you wish. I not anti SNP per se. Just fed up with the predictable antics. Akin to watching children in a playground with no adults supervising them.

    Thought you were emigrating? Interesting how the most vocal actually have the least allegience at all.

    The Union is broken. Smashed by infantile, selfish, English Tories.

    Proud Scots will move when the time is right for Scotland.

    God speed to them.

    I was planning on emigrating ... then I went looking for a place to emigrate to and looked right into it ... we decided to stay ... things happen ... not sure what your talking a out regarding allegiance though ... and funnily enough ... no interest in finding out

    After today's news surely the SNP should call an early election and reinforce their mandate. If's it that strong.

    You need a two-thirds majority of all MSPs to 'call an early election'. I don't think the SNP even have a majority.

    SNP has 62 out of 129 seats. By bribing the 6 Green's they get 68 votes, enough to push their policies through but nowhere enough to force an election. They don't want an election before an Indy vote anyway as they currently have enough power to force almost anything through, an election could put an end to that.

    Give over.

    It's those Scots that led the way in national splits with their venomous rhetoric during their campaigning for independence showing remainers in the Brexit referendum the way.

    Your "proud Scots" also consist the majority who want to remain a part of the UK; do not make the mistake of believing that the fanciful imaginings of a few pro-indy supporters in here are representative of the whole country any more that the pro-EU imaginings of a few remainers here such as yourself are representative of national feeling.
    They aren't.


    If you want to see a union that's really broken, look to the EU.
    Or even just Spain. ;)
