I hope not, Scotland will at some point in the future have another referendum. Hopefully we choose a different path from the last one. But you're suggesting that the First Minister of Scotland and the political party elected to govern Scotland by the Scottish electorate should not be protecting the interests of the Scottish people. So what exactly do you think their purpose should be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just now, strichener said: 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. I think we may have wires crossed there. I'm not suggesting that the Supreme Court would make a decision based on politics, I'm suggesting that the UK as a political entity does not care about the welfare of Scotland, or indeed any of the regions outside of London and the South East, irrespective of the Supreme Court judgement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I explicitly don't think that what the Scottish Government has announced today has anything to do with protecting the interests of the Scottish people. If that were the case then they should have raised their own legal challenge already. This is political posturing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You should know - you were a remainer in the Brexit campaign. Thankfully your craven servility kicked in after a moment's muted rebellion against massa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 They are raising their own legal challenge. Do you pay any attention at all? Obviously more than you or perhaps you are just too thick to understand. The SG are seeking to be heard in the appeal. That is not raising their own challenge in any legal sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that fails, they will mount a legal challenge against the PM bypassing parliamentary debate. They won't be the only one's either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also anti-English and Anti-Welsh. 1 million Scottish citizens voted Brexit.......There are around 800,000 Scots living in rUK. What's the betting the vast majority of those voted Brexit. I would say a very large percentage did. Also, many areas of England had a far higher remain vote than ANYWHERE in Scotland! And.................( this is the biggy)........ 32% of Scottish Voters DID NOT VOTE AT ALL!! Meaning more than half of Scottish voters failed to vote Remain. So that's totally f*cked your disingenuous and prejudiced premise ! Edited November 8, 2016 by McSpreader 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we won't have to listen any more of your shite about Scotland voting to remain in the UK in 2014 - going by the number of voters who actually voted (which you suddenly want to do), less than fifty per cent of all who could vote said "No thanks - we're wi' Alistair".

RedRob72 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Would be very interesting to see how Scots who have settled in the rest of the UK voted in June. Most I know were firmly in the Remain camp fwiw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
