All depends on how you report it.
A so called 'hard Brexit' depends on the negotiating stance taken by the EU, just as much the UK.
And the EU are not likely to reveal their position until Article 50 is initiated. Also, the EU are used to negotiating behind closed doors.
The public may be feeding off scraps as to how things are progressing.0 -

From BMG themselves:Brexit may not be the game changer that the SNP have been looking for in order to hold and potentially win a second independence referendumthree quarters (75%) said a ‘Hard Brexit’ should not result in another independence referendum0 -

it has been allegedly claimed that the reason unilever and Tesco are having a wee dispute is due to the very low value of the £ and unilever wanting their prices increased by 10%
now what could have caused the £ to crash so monumentally .... let me see....0 -

Hmm - could it be that the Tories announced they were no longer going to aim to reduce the fiscal deficit to zero and instead would be happy to run a Scottish style deficit of 9.5% of GDP (OK in reality nothing like that crazy but you get my point) - apparently that sort of thing unsettles the financial markets when your debt to GDP ratio is already north of 80%. Still nothing that need concern the voters of iScotland :rotfl:I think....0 -

8bn would be a small price to pay to secede from a blatant xenophobic country obsessed with blue passports, where EU nationals need to be named and shamed and are considered negotiation cards and Polish blokes are being kicked to death on the streets.
You can't put a price on basic human decency.Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -

The refusal will be open ended.
It's hardly news anyway, thanks to your good self we've known for ages.
But it is still the one-track SNP giving itself airs; the political equivalent of laghing at one's own jokes
Robertson was on Politics today; he couldn't answer the simple question.
What is the economic case for Independence?
Nor could he even say what would trigger a referendum (we are honoured here because you have told us many times it is when Article 50 is triggered, although lately you've been more coy).Union, not Disunion
I have a Right Wing and a Left Wing.
It's the only way to fly straight.0 -
