Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

Limited places in Indian universities and the fact that foreign education is seen as a bonus for Indian employers.
We get the money they spend in return so its not really something to get to upset about.

Who's getting upset about it? British Universities make a very lucrative business from International students my question was the motivation to request an increase in visas to the UK? is it a brain drain on their workforce or as you appear to suggest newly qualified students head back to potential employers back in India armed with a British Degree. It was a genuine question?

[mjw]

Or they get a degree and join our workforce.
Perhaps the motivation is that it benefits his country. It Is supposed to be a two way deal after all.

Indeed I do. In this great union of ours.

Don't you mean "in this great country of ours", meaning the glorious United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? Look - you don't even have to choke out the name of the shameful region you inhabit.

Whereas with the nats, ugly servility is a trait.

With BritNats like yourself, undoubtedly. Case in point: you showed a glimmer of resistance on the morning after the referendum when you realised England and Wales were going to yank Scotland out of the EU despite every council ward here voting to remain - but then the abject servility kicked in and it was back to "yes, Sir - may I have another, Sir?"

Such anger! Still I understand. It can't be easy being on the losing side of an independence referendum. Don't worry the hurt will fade and you will be fine.

Hope the supreme court tell him to do one and to raise their own action if they want to plead a case for Scotland to have it's own vote. What an embarrassment for the Scottish and UK governments.

So the Indian Government haven't being pressing the PM today to increase the number of Visas issued to Indian Nationals as an incentive for improved access to potential trade deals.

Do we watch completely different news programmes???

No. I just don't blindly believe everything I hear in the britnat media. Unlike your gullible self.

Indeed. How embarassing! Imagine not wanting Scotlands future to be dictated by one tory dictator who rarely steps foot in Scotland. The sensible thing would be just to shut up and offer ourselves to heil Theresa.... Forget law and parliamentary process. Our great dictator should tell us how it is and we should comply with her orders without question.

So does Scotland get two votes then - 1 in Parliament and 1 in Holyrood?  Hardly seems fair and appears rather anti-democratic.  Sturgeon can bleat on about having an equal say but unfortunately the constitutional arrangement in place at this time do not support such an arrangement.

The SNP and Scottish Government don't have much of a choice in this, they have to be seen to be doing whatever they can to push Scotlands interests, as well as independence. Taking no action would see them slaughtered.

Scotland had a vote and voted to remain in the EU. Is it fair that it seems to count for absolutely nothing?

At this time? Don't you mean forever?

The seethe from the permaraging losers who voted to leave, as well as the usual, craven Britnats is absolutely delicious.

Of course they have a choice, they could have petitioned the court at the same time as the original case.  Instead they have waited for the ruling and then decided to try and get involved at the appeal stage. The cynic in me sees them using the inevitable rejection by the Supreme Court to allow any submission from the Scottish Government as more "the UK doesn't care about Scotland's wishes" rhetoric from the SNP.  We will see over time.

They were outspoken from the start and there was no need to get involved in the original case, they weren't going to be able to impact it.

Now it's all posturing, being seen and being heard because if they don't they will take a hammering amongst their core support.

And if they do say what you suggest they will, which is very likely, they won't be wrong.

Whatever happens I don't really give a f*ck anyway. I think Scotland would be better served out of both unions and worse off being in one but not the other.

If it was a purely Scottish franchise then you would have a point.

I hope not, Scotland will at some point in the future have another referendum.  Hopefully we choose a different path from the last one.

Of course they will be wrong, unless you are suggesting that the Supreme Court will be deciding based on politics rather than law.  If so then you will also be ready to excuse the behaviour of all those that have been accusing the High Court of the very same.

Whilst critical of the previous judgement, I have every confidence that the decision was made by the judges using their interpretation of the law and not on political grounds.  I am confident that the Supreme Court will do likewise.
