    shocking...
    As they should and as any fule knows the Catalan referendum was illegal...or are you a fule and the EU should have supported Catalan and an illegal vote?
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      You guys are funny. If the EU had intervened, you'd have whined about them violating sovereignty. When they don't, you whine about them not showing leadership.

      What's funniest is that you don't even begin to see the inherent contradiction in your positiion.

      But why was it legal? I'll give you a clue. It was because a sovereign government allowed them to hold a referendum. It's the difference between the way we do things, and they way they do things...

        It's good, but it's not right, as Roy Walker might have said.

        The Section 30 order abides the Westminster Govt by the result of the referendum. It does not provide 'permission' to have one. That is not required.
        When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....

          It was legal because key affected parties agreed to recognise it as such.

          Also rules for it were far more sensible than Brexit tulip, won with the help of Russian Banking

              no but beating the tulip out of your subjects is normally frowned upon in decent democracies.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    Shall we mention Ian Tomlinson again, or will it be met with the same response of “he was near the crowd”, “he was running away”, “he wasn’t a very good newspaper salesman” etc?
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                      In which case why doesn't Sturgeon hold one every week until she gets the result she wants?
