Also, the spurious "but-England-is-the-far-more-important-market-to-Scotland-the-EU-and-we-would-be-cutting-ourselves-off" argument would gain more traction in the event of a Brexit, and the harder the more. With E&W still in the EU, this argument wouldn't really stick, as we now know that the EU would make a reasonable effort to keep an iScotland as a part of the trading block.<br />Also a non-EU E&W is likely to be even madder than it is today (shudder).<br /><br />So Sturgeon is essentially standing up for the interests of Scotland, which is essentially not only working towards independence, but working towards independence with reasonably sane neighbours. This would help everyone and also put us in a stronger position as an IndyRef2 campaign wears on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-43143121590964371112018-12-18T22:32:02.436+00:002018-12-18T22:32:02.436+00:00If Mum gets me the Derek Hazlehurst DVDs I said I ...If Mum gets me the Derek Hazlehurst DVDs I said I d cook the turkey.

Ireland vote in #EUref2, they could well tip it to remain this time even if England votes Yes. <br /><br />Of course making it EVEL would exclude the change of the SNP even helping it to happen.<br /><br />England can't keep the last traces of the empire (for a little while longer) and have brexit. There is no having this cake and eating it. The ENP are starting to appreciate this and anything the SNP can do to totally fuck them off is key to Scottish indy. If the SNP can succeed in stopping brexit somehow, the ENP will seek to kick Scotland out. N. Ireland too.<br /><br />That, I'm increasingly sure of, is how this is going to end.scottish skiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-47212862038337314122018-12-18T20:15:12.899+00:002018-12-18T20:15:12.899+00:00If we end up with no exit deal and just crash out,...If we end up with no exit deal and just crash out, it demonstrates that the UK government is incapable of striking trade deals at all. It's not even managed to agree how to get out of a trade deal that it want's to leave, never mind stike a new one; something that normally takes years of intense negotiations + votes in parliament.<br /><br />UK's fked. Utterly fked. <br /><br />People need to understand that there is no master plan. No aces waiting up sleeves. No clever solution being prepared. No way out of this bar a lifeboat. Even then we're going to get badly burnt. 2014 was the only real way of bailing out well before the cliff edge.<br /><br /> The UK is sinking. We have reached the final stage of the empire cycle where the whole thing has collapsed right to the home shores. All that remains to finally fall is the stinking corrupt political core which cannot help but bring about its own demise through rampant self interest.<br /><br />It's not as if the same thing has not happened countless times through history, which always repeats itself.scottish skiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-59754068297131775962018-12-18T19:51:19.532+00:002018-12-18T19:51:19.532+00:00Hard facts.

As mentioned today in the Westminster debate before the 2014 ref the Scot Gov released a 800 page white paper. Do they have one ready and waiting for a second ref if it happens in the short term? People more than every now are not going to make a choice based on spin and promises, they will want cold hard facts presented to them.

However he has been seen to associate himself whether true or not with various onerous groups and that will make him unelectable.
