    Can't wait until England is left alone with Brexit. Do you have your stockpile of tinned corned beef yet?

      I suppose it's rather like your lot blaming all your troubles and ills on the English.

      We didn't cause your alcoholism, your cholesterol levels or your inferiority complex. Get over it!

        We don't blame the English actually. We blame Westminster.

          Do you blame Westminster for the result of the Scottish Referendum?

            Yes, because they lied to scare people, one of the main ones being that the only way Scotland could stay in the EU was to vote no. That didn't work out too well.

            This lie caused most of the EU citizens living in Scotland to vote no as they were told they would be kicked out on Independence Day. There were approximately 150,000 EU citizens at the time. If they all change to yes voters now to keep their EU status in an independent Scotland then that is enough to tip the balance. Also, polls show that younger people are roughly 80/20 in favour of independence so every year more of those voters are available to yes whereas the older voters who voted no are dying off. 16 & 17 year olds are allowed to vote in the independence referendum.

              Unfortunately, you've had your vote.

                  Democracy isn't a one-off vote. It's developing and we will have another indyref in the Spring.

                    We've introduced minimum pricing of alcohol to combat the first point.

                    We are trying to tackle the second point but Westminster refuses to let us deal with it. If local staff allow safe injecting areas, Westminster will help prosecute them https://www.ft.com/content/af995a22-...a-295c97e6fd0b

                    The other is just a rubbish piece because it won't happen.
