Maybe Sturgeon should get on with running her part of the country instead of trying to make it a separate one

James there is was and always will be animosity it's historical as well as political that was my original point. Can the Scots trust the English govt to do right by them?
Look at 79 when the SNP helped the Tories bring down the Labour govt.. It was the EU that helped Scotland and their large areas of socioeconomic depravation until they achieved the devolution that was denied them then.

To pro brexit English you are already foreigners, I can understand the worry independence will bring though. Would being dragged out of Europe against your will not cause similar division?

Dividing economy of the island of Ireland is gonna rack up the tensions. A dangerous game.

But he's playing to his electorate. A poll of conservatives showed they care more about brexit than Ireland or Scotland.

Parm, is referring to me defending Nicky in his convo with Livia, btw, to those who don't know. I felt Livia was taking advantage and told her so.
That's how I felt. You don't jump to your friends assistance even if they don't ask you? I make no apologies for it. Nicky told me since there was no need and I take that on board. But at the time I reacted as I saw it.
And here you are attacking me for this. ok.
anything else?

The mods are here to sort things out, there was no need for you to jump in at all. And as you now know you were way off the mark. Nicky doesn't need protecting from me, we disagree and yet are still friends.

There are a lot of Scots that don't like Nicola, me included (although i don't live in scotland) But let's be honest, Boris and his cabinet voted down a solution 3 times that would have been acceptable and are now hell bent on jumping off a cliff. It's a red rag to a bull

Yes, Nicky says there was no need and I believe him. So accept my apologies.
Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

In Wales Today he is talking Tough.



The EU has chance to to talk with him
if he gets his new deal on their table - a New Deal is Possible
digging your heals in on the backstop
will put us into No Deal.
So many are saying a General Election?
But Johnson has stated No
we leave the EU on the 31st of October.

[Twosugars]

Trying to shift the blame already.

[Twosugars]

One thing that people happy with a no deal forget is

Would it mean Brexit is finally over?
No. One of the biggest appeals about a no-deal Brexit for voters who support it is the idea of “getting it over with”, absorbing whatever chaos takes place and moving on to other priorities. But this is a fantasy. The UK could not trade perpetually on WTO terms and would need to make a permanent trade deal with the EU – involving just the same issues as before, such as a divorce payment, and arrangements for the Irish border. The main difference is that this would all need to happen as quickly as possible, without the buffer of a transition period running to the end of 2020.

[joeysteele]

As to Scotland.
If this PM continues with his Cabinet, down the hard no deal brexit road, and that comes about.

Then whatever the support is for Scotland's independence now, after a no deal, I'd expect support to rise considerably.

If the Prime Minister of the UK is not bothered about that, and it was stated Conservative party members felt losing Scotland was a price worth paying for a no deal brexit

Then the speculation at present looking at could Johnson be the last Prime Minister of the UK, could well become a reality.

If he risks that, he will be proven to have been a really dangerous individual to have ever been put in the highest office of the, ( at present), United Kingdom.

No its the Former UK PM fault
Johnson says you can talk
only when you take away the backstop
He talking Tough.

The EU will not change
that's their one chance

"As to Scotland.

Joey this PM Johnson
is not giving Scotland a 2nd Vote on Independence.

The Scottish
are part of GB.

that's not the way it works Arista, if the Scottish people make clear that they want a referendum, they will have one whether Boris wants it or not.
