I've no idea.

Agreed.

Only those with sense take her seriously.

Sorry scooter old D000gy gets top quote.

Scooterscot, what are your views on independence?

You seem to be anti-independence, but then pro-independence, depending on which thread you read.

Scotland has a lot more trade with the rest of the UK than it does with the EU. Why would it want to give up its largest trading partner?

The SNP only want to be EU members so they can continue to have a reason to exist, i.e. to then gain independence from the EU.

The SNP's stance in the last referendum was a lot more 'we want to have our cake and eat it' than Theresa May, and the business case was based on the price of oil which simply isn't there any more. I mean FFS, the SNP still wanted to keep the pound.

I voted SNP, I voted for independence. I'd vote for both again.

SNP for whatever their faults have done much more for those living in Scotland (I visit family frequently throughout from the highlands to the big smokes) than decades of Labour. Labour sold Scotland out time and time again, still people voted for them. That'll not happen again for decades I hope. Despite what the media would have you believe I'm always impressed when I return to see the local changes on a social level. It is how a small country should be acting.

I voted for independence because Scotland is a small country and should operate like a small country. I love small countries, have lived in a few over the years.

Most of the trade Scotland has with the rUK is through public services, which need culling to a level. I'm actually supporting a couple of manufacturing projects in Fife from my humble abode here in Bavaria.

You voted for independence with your feet a long time ago. You're independent from Scotland you buffoon.

Resort to insults if you like, I'm immune.

The idea that is Scotland resides with me strongly, shall never go away. Perhaps you think it will because I choose to live somewhere else

Perhaps I should change my name to ScooterDeutsche

Oh I understand - you can't live in a stable and claim to be a horse if you weren't born a horse. But you chose to leave your country and not (other than by leaving) contribute anything to its wellbeing.

Agreed.

Person who can't think of comeback after having their arguments demolished says what?

You're living in the past. 'Country' this 'Country' that. The planet is much smaller today. Shiver.

I employ one person back in Scotland with more than a minimum salary. How many do you employ?

None in Scotland. Don't need to. But if country this and country that are an issue, why are you now trying to make a point of it?

Nationhood may be an archaic and outdated approach but it's still what everyone is using. Attempts to break down borders like the EU are not proving a runaway success after the initial euphoria.
