Should a referendum on Scottish independence only include people living in Scotland?

[Mark Bolam]

My view is if Scotland wants independence why should anyone stand in their way?

Of course the only people who should vote are Scots.

 

Is it a good idea for Scotland?

Possibly, possibly not.

Remember I’m from Northumberland, so have plenty of mates over the border.

 

My worry for them is that I think Sturgeon and her cronies are the least able people to run a piss-up in a distillery, let alone lead Scotland to a bright independent future.

I actually think she’s a dangerous, egotistical maniac who would paint her face blue and drag you back to the dark ages.

A true champion of the ‘working class’ i.e. people who don’t and won’t.

 

The SNP should get rid of that evil little bitch, get a good leader in and adopt some more moderate policies.

 

Support would rise massively.

So your answer is basically ‘ if it suits my agenda I don’t care about a plan, because our reliable, conscientious hard working politicians will sort it all out’?

You’re an optimist with tunnel vision, good for you bud!

That’s not how I read it at all. It’s clear you always intended overlaying your own agenda on whatever answer he was going to give.

There was no ‘plan’ for the Brexit I Referendum. It was in,or out. Simple as. A huge majority of us still want the simple ‘out’ that we we offered in the referendum and then won.

You it seems have been blinded by the remoaner types they where in politics. But I’m sure you’ve noticed that they are few and far between now. They went against their constituents and paid the price.

You’re an optimist with tunnel vision, good for you bud!

Shame really, probably your worst post on arbtalk Mark.

Sorry, I can’t see how your post puts your argument any further forward.

Spot on! I think you’ve really summed up what’s happening in Scotland today.

Well that’s not surprising really. You seem permanently drunk. cut back a little, drink some water and stop playing Braveheart on repeat.

Great retort andy, not.

Not?

Have we been teleported back to the mid 90’s? Hark! Do I hear frogs croaking Bud-Wis-Er?

Is a yellow puppet named Edi selling me Levi Jeans?

Are the ladies swooning from windowsills drinking Diet Cola?


Great retort? Maybe not. But sure beats the hell outta yours.

Correct, I’m an optimist[emoji1303]

When I put my cross in the referendum box it was in or out. As you said Andy, there was no deal mentioned, and Remain MPs prior to the referendum even stated we’d be out of the Customs Union. And then when us leavers were stupid enough to say we’d leave, the same Remain MPs changed the game plan by insisting on a deal and remaining in close alignment.

So Mull, the Brexit plan to my mind was to walk without any deal and to retrospectively have talks. With Boris stating there will be no EU regulatory alignment I’m as happy as a pig in shit.[emoji1303]
