I didnt like sturgeon either fair society. She had her pros and cons , but undoubtedly damaged the scot indy movement and did nothing for independence in her time as first minister. She is gone now, but i agree there are more shockwaves to come.
not sure i agree. I dont , and certainly most people i know dont think the ordianry english people are the bad guys. There is a difference with arguing with the local village idiots like b4 , vinny or see 2 , and hating an entire people becuase of the actions of some of their political elite.
I see no reason why the scottish and english people cannot continue to be friends , work together ,and have a trading relationship as well as partenerships in many other areas , but we dont need to do it in a dysfunctional union.
not sure of your conflation here. Sturgeon is slightly older than me , and im told she is a long term supporter of scot indy long before brexit was mentioned. Her reasons as to why that is , is her own to make.
it did , with some scots voting out , but in demcoratic terms , two thirds of scots voted to remain , and like northern ireland , we should have been allowed to. A fair and democratic union would have found a way to accomodate the views of one of its national members ,and brexit epitomised much of whats wrong with this one sided union in my opinion.
however much i dislike her , i have to say i dont think she hates england the country or the english people. Her family (granny) are english.
I admire Scotland because they have a alternative of a three party race, for us English we have a two horse race, the Tories or Labour, or even worse either one of them in a coalition with the Lib-dems or DUP which we have had to endure.
We need to keep political parties on their toes, and both the Tories and Labour have been taken us for mugs long enough, the sad part is we haven't even got a viable opposition (Labour) never mind three mainstream parties, so far it's a one horse race for the English voters, and it has to be Tories.
i fully understand and agree with you. Labour have betrayed not just me , but scotish voters and the scottish nation time after time they will never ever in or out of this union get my vote ever again.
Im not the dogmatic one party type , and have lent my vote to many different parties past and present , but there is a special place in political hell for labour. My vote will be up to the highest bidder in an indy scotland labour excluded.

I had no problem with the referendum. A narrow, terrible, result - but the vote itself was absolutely fine. Win some, lose some. It was the misinformation surrounding the campaigns that was the problem. Take back control, have your cake and eat it, 180 million a week to save the NHS, a new deal within a day etc. Yawn

Everything but facing the facts. Charlie is your king ..fact . Scotland is a republic ..Indy wet dream . never mind benny. You and squeezy can grass up your neighbours next weekend of you dont hear them shout their oath of allegiance. This is the Tomas debate technique. Me…1+1=2 is a fact . Toomas..well binty it depends on what you call 1. One sheep +one elephant doesn’t make 2 lions . In fact there are 10000 elephants roaming the Serengeti and no wild sheep. You do know that more elephants were shot by the inglish than the rest of the rest of the EU put together . They shot countless lions to . No wonder we ALL agree in Scotland that the Ingwish Jackboot needs to taken off Scottish necks.😁

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall bought new shoes for her wedding. During the big day they became increasingly tighter and tighter as the day went on.
That night, when the festivities were finally over and they retired to their room, she flopped on the bed and said, "Charles, darling, please remove my shoes, my feet are killing me!" Her ever-obedient Prince of Wales attacked her right shoe with vigour, but it would not budge. "Harder!" yelled Camila, "Harder."
Charles yelled back,"I'm trying, darling! But it's just so bloody tight!" "Come on! Give it all you've got!" she cried.
Finally, when it released, Charles let out a big groan and Camila exclaimed, "There! Oh God! That feels so good!" In their bedroom next door, the Queen said to Prince Phillip, "See! I told you with a face like that, she had to be a virgin!"
Meanwhile, as Charles tried to remove her left shoe, he cried, "Oh, God, darling! This one's even tighter!" At which Prince Phillip said to the Queen, "That's my boy! He served in the Navy: once a Rear Admiral, always a Rear Admiral!

How about every Rotherham politician who turned a blind eye a blind eye for decades to the abuse of thousands of vulnerable girls ? Why blame the politicians and not the indifferent police? Because it was politicians, Gordon Brown's government in particular, who told the police not to investigate grooming gangs.

His repatriation, and that of many other Jocks resident in England, would at least be amusing to behold. There was me thinking your avatar was political satire rather than a true reflection of your views.
Whats andy murray ever done to you squeezy? There are more sassunnachs in scotland per head of population than jocks in your country , and they are all welcome here squeezy.
I dont go in for ethnic cleansing , although im told your country has history for it , but whatever rocks your boat.
Oh dear, like many SNATs you just haven't considered the fallout, have you?
If independence happened, there was a hard border and Scotland joined the EU, Scots would be EU citizens with no automatic right of residence in England and, of course, vice versa.
"Repatriation" was my little joke but, if you get your way, it may not be far off the reality.
You have not thought it through.

Therein lies the problem, the people of Scotland have only been told the 'pros' of Independence, the downsides have been played down, if the people of Scotland have another chance of Independence they should be told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and not what they want to hear.
Sturgeon only played on the pros, her back up plan when it all went belly up was to reach out to the UK for a bail out, which at one point a phrase was coined a independent Scotland would end up as 'Greece without the sun' bail out.
We need to see on paper and backed up with hard hitters how Scotland will be self-sufficient without the propping up of the UK, and not listening to Sturgeon's fantasy land plans, believing the EU would be their saviour.

no im saying whatever bitterness and unfairness you have from losing the brexit ref , you need to move on and try and elect a party on a rejoin mandate rather than carrying on raking over the coals of defeat forevermore. Ah, rejoin... Didn't go well for Jo Swinson, didn't get to rejoin, but did get to lose her seat. Add Jo to the list of one of the worst politicians in the UK.

Alex Salmond the epitome of unbiased political opinions I voted remain because of the underlying weaknesses of the UK at that time, AND the obvious concerns over the Irish border. It wouldn't surprise me if many Brexit voters didn't even stop to think about such. Cameron and Co. NEVER spoke for me, but they did give many Brexit voters a whinge to hide behind. do you miss the point of every post you reply to deliberately ? NO! but you do.

He is not my king , in scotland we say the king is first among equals ,not a sovereign above us , and we can give or take away his crown as we have done with many of his ancesters many many times historically. The crown of scotland is a side issue at the minute .It will be dealt with one day though once we are independent , and cast into the dustbin of history where it belongs in the 21st century.
You can almost hear the *SIGH*It's a pipe dream.
