For a short time, but things can change. I can see us going for the Euro rather than Sterling before our own currency is adopted

How would that be possible?

You can't become independent and join the Euro on day one.

How long is acceptable for an iScotland to be tied to Sterling? How long did you give Brexit before you found yourself glad of it?

Every nation on earth has the ability to choose its currency of choice, whether you have a say on how that currency is run is a different matter. You really hate Scotland, dontcha?

People replying to ‘troll boy’ is far worse imo.

Was always difficult but now impossible to believe anything the detestable cùnt says.

We may yet be treated to the sight of central Scotland being turned into an irradiated nuclear wasteland, while the remaining members of P&B get to read, "of course, this would have been far worse if Scotland had been independent and attempted to rejoin the EU".

Which one?

We’re too wee, too daft to work out independence so just let Truss run our country.

Days like today are fun.

I'm genuinely not sure what I want to happen now though.  

Obviously, it would be satisfying and hilarious to see her toppled in the next few days.  The vicious, nasty b*****d deserves to become but a punchline to a joke, and to go down in history as the very definition of hubristic failure.

However, literally any change at all will mean the Tories receive a boost in the polls, and might just have a chance of some recovery.

Regardless of what I'd prefer though, I think she's finished.  I give her until Tuesday.

Probably a little bit longer.....the chairman of the 1922 committee is in Greece on holiday

I know this is a hardy annual for you but that doesn't stop it being relevant

Trolls are as obvious as they are to be discouraged

Best way to discourage them is to ignore them.  Maybe the only way.

1) Ejecting your leader after tanking the economy within 50 days of taking office ends any chance of a recovery. It's far worse for them than 'Black Friday', which supposedly eviscerated their credibility for years but looks a work of consumate statesmanship compared to current events. 

2) It's the exact same electorate who chose that moron Truss in the first place, who gets to choose the next leader as well. Tory politicians are obsessed by staying in power and would ruthlessly choose leaders to do so - their party members are not. 

[Fullerene]

Personally I suspect Brexit will destroy the next one and the next one and the next one until everyone realises that Britain is not global superpower it pretends to be.

[Frank Quitely]

Aye, you wonder how much Kwarteng has cleaned up in his bet with Crispin Odey.

I'd agree with you if it weren't for the nagging doubt that there's a significant part of the electorate who are morons in the same vein as the Tory membership and are gullible enough to swallow any old shit.
