    If, you mean if.

    You need to remember that not everyone in Scotland feels the way you do. Although it may seem that everyone does to you, or simply they don't disagree, perhaps they even agree when in discussion about it but really think it's a terrible idea.

    I think everyone realises not all want the same for Scotland.

    A 2nd referendum depends entirely on what happens when or even if :rotfl: brexit negotiations get underway. I would like to imagine the ball is starting to roll somewhere in Westminster. Either that or there is frantic head banging, pulling hair out and wringing of hands wondering what the hell happens now.

    How to please the brexiteers and what they voted for without trashing our economy will be a major headache.

    unbelieveable that you are worried about the UK leaving the EU which is a great cost to the Uk, whilst you want to leave the UK which provides a money tree to you.

    Sometimes a bit of pride in standing on one's own two feet beats all whatever the challenges ahead ( and boy there would be plenty of them ) . You of all people should know.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    The SNP appear to be doing an OK job without any help from anybody else. Attention would be spent closer to home rather than worrying about things that are mere speculation with no foundation.

    Apologies, I forgot that speculation is only acceptable when it concerns Scotland/SNP/EU.

    Back in my box......

    I know, I just watched BBC Reporting Scotland flashing up a big flashy infographic on their report... stating that Scotland could join the Euro. Missing out any critera for joining it and that it would take years even if that was what Scotland did.

    Ramping up the crap again. Wheeling out Gordon Brown again... must be some private polling being done. ;)

    Some good economic reasons that don't make you poorer would be a good start. Pointless having a currency when you're going to leave some people without a pot to defecate in.
