If you need to see the actual press conference which was on the news at the time, look it up yourself.

Shocks me sometimes how people will argue over something they know nothing about and can't get Mr finger to work Google for them to read about.

I can't read that link because it's behind a paywall, but if it's the same press conference that you were talking about in your last post then it's saying that Scotland can't stay in the EU if it's in the UK, not that they'd be barred from entering if hey were independent

Spain, France and Belgium all said they would veto any attempt for an independent Scotland from joining the EU.

Feel free to stay ignorant of the facts if you want.

Screaming are you even reading my posts, all these articles say is that Spain doesn't want Scotland to remain in the EU IF ITS STILL IN THE UK, not if it's independent.

Try reading it again slowly with Mr finger?

He stated he was extremely against taking Scotland as an independent party.

Spain won't recognise an independent Scotland with the EU ever, it has its own region who want independence that it will not give. They will only recognise it as part of the UK.
