Bairnardo Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Ahhh a contest to lead the Tory party.... A true gift from the Indy gods, as batshit mental fuckers compete with eachother for the fsvour of other batshit mental fuckers, to win their coveted position at the expense of.... Well hopefully this utter joke of a "Union" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm merely pointing out that there will be lot of people who think it's undemocratic that we haven't left the EU 3 yrs after referendum and that we just took part in EU elections...Not sure anyone can really argue about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love your impassioned posts and loving the pair of you learning from Brexit and the biggest lesson we must learn is not to repeat the massive mistake of the 2016 poll of shame when Scotland next goes to the ballot box re Independence. What Brexit has shown us is that a binary poll is the path of idiots and that the electorate need to know much more about what the possible outcomes are. So for any future Independence referendum we have to go to the polls knowing what the future deal will be between New Scotland and rUK and also between New Scotland and the EU. If we don't then we'll be in the same hellhole we're in now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no independent countries so clearly we can't say what independence means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't publish the results of negotiations before they've started, but you'll be encouraged to know that the last time around there was a 650 page document published 9 months before the referendum which set out the aims and strategies of the Independence campaign. The UK Government had zero strategy even 9 months after the Brexit referendum when they declared Article 50. So dinna fash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like your puerile putsch of shame is getting more racist by the day. Back on topic...of course absolutely no sane person, having gone through the Brexit debacle, would even think that a ScotRef2 was ever likely without knowing the eventual settlement. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
