    Well it is the one she mentioned ... but let's see her squirm her way out of it ... I want indy, but even I recognise our country ain't ready for another campaign, not for a couple of years yet, so we need to see what her excuses are ...

    Next we need BoJo as Pm then no chance of labour getting in power in 2020 then maybe ... maybe that will be enough for the No voters ...

    I don't think Nicola will waste much time. Public opinion will be gauged over the next few months in my opinion. The chaos which will no doubt ensue over this time will decide whether Scotland is ready and would vote Yes in the event of another ref.

    I honestly thought I could not stomach another ref but this result changes everything.

    I honestly did not think we'd vote leave.

    Given that our money is worth 10% less against the dollar than it was last night, that's not a bad shout.

    In other news, Donald Trump is in Scotland today. Nominally its something to do with his refurbished golf course. But knowing Trump, he's probably seeing whether the Scottish Government are looking for candidates to build a wall in the event that Scotland needs to establish a controlled border with England.

    To be fair, if some of the Celtic countries quit the UK it will at least improve England's budget position.

    What's the possibility of the EU sweetening the accession of a new country like iScotland into the club using the social cohesion fund?

    Poland secured circa 85bn Euro over the budgetary term. Arguably the needs of Scotland would be just as high.

    Scotland's budget position is a mess because they spend to much not because they earn too little.

    It also seems that Scottish students are losing out to the European student creme de la creme ...

    Well it's interesting you say that, first reactive response from people I am working with is a mixture of hand rubbing about another referendum acceptance that there will be another one and people saying they will vote Yes next time ... it's been a strange day for me so far
