Without Scottish oil and gas (all 200+ years worth of it) Fact Check - There is nowhere near 200+ years of Scottish oil and gas. UK_oil_gas_production.png Production from 1970 - 2012 43.6 BOE or so, estimates vary slightly. Estimated remaining reserves ..... Some 41 billion barrels of oil equivalen...

As for a different point of view in Scotland, it does exist and is a voice of reason.

All of that is a complete non sequitur. Well done!

What has actually changed is that Scots recognised that Labour was a lousy representative for Scotland with lacklustre policies and they can sense that they can get even more out of England by supporting the SNP waving an independence flag. When it comes to the crunch, they will see that they cant ...

... I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Scotland co-opted back into the EU immediately upon an OUT vote from the UK. As we've seen explicitly in the past few weeks, this is a fast moving situation and just about ANYTHING is possible. You can't rule anything out, especially if the Brexit negotiato...

Sturgeons Magic bullet is the opportunity to hold another Scottish referendum before Brexit gets going, this way she can play up the uncertainty and the probable anti British feeling that's already brewing in Europe. As for favourable circumstances, Brexit just handed her the most favourable circums...

You mean to Scotland!? Me too. I'm just over the border.

I understand when she went to visit the EU recently, Sturgeon got nothing should Scotland separate from the UK, that Scotland would have to join the EU as a new nation and not slip in under the old UK umbrella. And there is the price of oil and also they wouldnt be able to use the £ any more. so it...

Today big Theresa heads north over the border to plead for a 'special union' between the two countries, given that Scotland voted 68%/32% In/Out in the EU referendum Sturgeon has said this is the 'Constitional trigger' for a second Scottish referendum. Would she win it? What then for a divided UK, o...

A typical post Brexit Cabinet Minister :

I hear Ireland is very nice this time of year. Oh hold on, that's in Europe, we can't go there anymore.

Since the referendum I've been treated to a lot of middle class, Guardian reader style woe about Brexit which mainly consists of people saying they are ashamed of the result, want to apologise to Europeans for it, and that it was a load of thick, xenophobic Brits who caused it, not their wonderful ...

That seeming intelligent people can think to make an argument with someone who's sole reference materials are fictional YouTube videos (made by cynical individuals to extract $$$s from the weak willed and the emphatically stupid) is the one remarkable thing about this thread. There's only one person...

..... And whats that whining I can hear all the time… ? 8) Al It's from the poor. Yes, those irksome poor. Whatever shall we do with them? Maybe ship them off to a desolate, sparsely populated country with all the immigrants, preferably in cattle trucks, in darkness. Somewhere really awful. Like Sc...

simpering, obsequious, servile Brussels venerating Remainers Gosh! You must hang around in some strange places. These people sound dreadful. I work in a place where most people pride themselves on being very liberal and tolerant, but also where any dissent from their worldview can result in petty i...
