Don't know what you mean by titfortat. Are you implying I shouldn't respond if you post to me unless I agree with everything you said?
If you don't want me to respond it's easy enough not to respond to me. Otherwise I don't really get where you are coming from here.

The Scots were told by the EU, no UK no EU. If they were independent Scotland wouldn't be in the EU, so to try to claim another referendum based on leaving the EU doesn't maoe sense.

Tit for tat is going round in circles, I have already said several times now and endlessly since the referendum on all the other host of EU threads, that Scotland was told its best way to stay the EU was to vote to stay in the UK.

That has been borne out on Question Time repeatedly,a programme you mentioned and in many interviews Andrew Neill has had with Conservative and other politicians too on Daily Politics and Sunday Politics programmes.

Tit for tat is me saying that and knowing that, then you repeatedly coming back with they were not told that.
So what is the point of that tit for tat.
I suggest respectively you watch those programmes because that same point is likely to be raised many times more yet anyway.

Also yet again you choose to sidestep my point as to why should it be relevant to highlight the small amount of leave voters and small number of constituencies voting leave in Scotland,
While avoiding looking at all the remain votes all across the others who voted leave in the UK ,which were actually much larger minorities than the much smaller one in Scotland voting leave.

That is what I came on this thread to address not to end up in another long drawn out, likely ending in a mess, of tit for tat of yet another EU thread.

By the way at no time since the referendum vote have the Scots been told no UK no EU for them.
The EU, simple has courteously as to the UK, just not engaged on solid talks on the issue until the UK has formally applied to leave, which is the right thing to do as well.
There is at present no ruling at all that somehow Scotland could not get membership of the EU or even a btter deal that possibly the rest of the UK could be left with in the end.
