IndyRef2 : This time it's war!

[Bee]

How dependent is Scotland from UK?

[scooterscot]

People saw Eastern Europeans taking jobs they thought they could have and voted leave.
People see Scotland with Free Prescriptions No University Fees (ignoring the dire finance of Scottish Unis compared to UK ones) and think greedy sods - if they want to go good riddance.

I suppose if England introduced fees for breathing fresh air Scotland would receive unfair prejudice for not paying. You can't blame other countries for introducing laws at home you don't like.

'Them taking our jobs' is proving to be a falsehood time and time again. Although it sells DM papers...
More often than not it has been shown 'Brits' lack the necessary skills.

Please tell me! I want to know too!!

You said you suffered sectarian abuse - not me.

Just glancing the hate-filled spite on the BBC's HYS awakens the ugly tulip I thought was behind us. Shudder.

I hate this. I'm reminded how much Scots are hated. Feck who wouldn't want out.

Not in my name, I wish she would just shut up and get the message, Scotland is a thriving part of the UK, we want to stay that way. This is just pandering to her "braveheart rabble"

Thought about listening to Scots who actually live in Scotland?

P.s. You've still not explained what happened to you in your youth.

Indeed, but surely a companion to these emotional arguments, is the desire to stand on your own two feet? I just don't see how Scotland can claim to do this.

Nationalism is a blind ideology.

Um, Boris narrowly won.

Many of these points can be made about the EU referendum too. You're missing all the emotional elements - self-determination, patriotism, FREEEEEEEEDOM. And of course you might argue that leaving the UK to join the EU might be a good move though we will only be able to tell in hindsight.

The Membership states can fast track Scotlands membership is they all agree to do it.

Spain won't allow it, as they have their own separatist movement to discourage.

If she wants to get Scotland to leave, she should ask for the whole of the UK to have a vote.

She wants to do a "Boris Brexit". Campaign to leave, narrowly lose then whine about it....

Um, Boris narrowly won.

I still don't get what the "Out" Scots want. To leave the Uk, only to replace the largely benign Uk government with the EU? To lose the funding from the Uk, alongside a long-term collapse in oil price? To lose tens of thousands of Uk public sector jobs while only having three people and dog working in the private sector?

The SNP want to scrap Trident, along presumably with the thousands of supporting jobs on the Clyde.

Fine, if Scotland wants to leave, then let them go. I just don't see what they expect their future to look like, other than bleak and impoverished.

Ironcially, it's the IndyRef that kicked this all off...


... between Scots.

We might have round two to look forward to. Scotland - a country at war with itself.
