Reply to: EU appoints former French minister who blames Britain for losing his job to lead Bre

I would definitely let them vote again. Better still, I would let England vote on whether or not Scotland should stay in.

Sturgeon is holding back in case she loses, or more probable, she wins but the EU tell her to apply like anyone else and the Spanish would flatly refuse to let them in.

Exactly. 55% of Scots voters opted to stay within the UK in the full and certain knowledge that a Brexit vote was a distinct possibility. And that at a point in time when keeping the pound was still arguably a possibility, and the oil price was still at a decent level.
The options now seem to be rejoining the EU at the bottom rung and embracing the Euro whilst accepting that Scotland may have to accept an undefined number of asylum seekers/economic migrants.
And even then any number of other EU members may be ready to torpedo such an eventuality with Spain leading the queue.
In short, for all her bluff and bluster, the appetite for another Indy referendum is lukewarm at best with no real likelihood of the result being any different to the one that occurred less than 2 short years ago.
I suppose they could always show some more reruns of the factually embarrassing "Braveheart" fiasco with the cuddly short-arsed Aussie in the lead role, although I think that particular option has probably already galvanised the support of the optimum number of gullible simpletons available to it.
Maybe a remake of "Whisky Galore" in which the Treasury sequester all the proceeds to refurbish Buck House's Duck Pond might tease out any latent Jacobite sympathy vote that still remain untapped?

They'll want another vote, that's democracy innit, or you propose NOT to let them vote again?

You've missed the point. Korbyn won't make it to the next election.

You mean he will have an accident?

[LondonManc]

Korbyn won't mind wealth tax and all the other tulip that idiot is proposing, if anything he'd put him in charge of implementing it.

But it voted to be part of the UK which has a UK government. It had a chance to leave but didnt want it.

You really don't get democracy, do you.

So, this Labour party that has binned off Corbyn by then has which voters backing it? Labour voters want Corbyn in charge, they've made it clear. PLP do not, they've made that clear. Scotland want SNP.

So if Conservative party puts in manifesto that Englishmen will have right of first night in Scotland, and then win elections, then so it should be??? Scotland did not vote for Conservatives.

I'll probably move there after 2020 when Labour wins elections and starts 50% income tax plus 15% on "unearned" income, all thanks to Cons.

[AtW]

well it was in the Manifesto which was what previous governments used to bring us further into the EU.

You can probably criticise your rulers more now thanks to Brexit

[vetran]

Was it agreed with Scotland before hand just like Scotland agreed its referendum with London???

[DodgyAgent]

I pay taxes in this country, a lot of them, that makes me entitled to criticize retarded Govt policies.

Being part of EU is no more subservient to its members as it is for Wales or Scotland to be part of UK.

The EU’s relentless attack on free speech | Europe | For Europe, Against the EU | Free speech | spiked

and what have Scotland and Wales (or Rutland, London or Yorkshire for that matter) got to do with the argument or are you shifting the debate in order to avoid backing down?

[AtW]

You know the EU Referendum was Conservative party policy before the Scotland vote?

As Vetran said, the Scottish leadership want to leave the UK. I see that as no different to us wanting to leave the EU. Neither wants to be controlled by foreign countries.

Now you understand that I assume you have become a Brexiter.
