Scotland will be independent by 2030 irrespective of your opposition. You can either integrate and reconcile with the views of the majority that now live here or resist the inevitable. You can oppose all you like but I suggest a better course is to respect our wishes. If not return to England.

You and I have crossed swords before.
You are 5 minutes in the country but you are opposed to independence. How about living here for a few years before you jump to ridiculous conclusions. You moved here for a better life but still want Scotland to be ruled by the shambles in London!
Abstain!

Your remarks are astonishing. You move to Scotland for a better life but you’re opposed to independence! How do you think life quality got to be better here? I suggest because of the SNP. It certainly has nothing to do with Westminster. Will you return to England when we become independent?
Abstain!

Is this the Emily Thornberry Show?

Is she not there to represent Parliament but all I hear is ”I”.

Let the man give his account without being led.

“Notwithstanding” and “in the round” Wee Dougie is a charlatan who has swallowed a dictionary.

Incidentally what’s your view on your fellow Englishman and Lib Dumb colleague Alex Cole-Hamilton‘s statement that “Scotland can never exist again”?
Do you concur or is it just another example of an English person meddling in Scotlands affairs?
Or, like you, he is talking out of his backside?

Scotland says thanks for the permission 🤡🤡🤡.
Have you given France the benefit of your very limited wisdom?
Another example of Scotland requiring England’s authority!
How did you get on with running for London Mayor?
Were you rejected for meddling in affairs that’s bugger all to do with you?

Do policies decided upon by Holyrood affect your every day life? No!
Policies which emanate out of the shit show which is Westminster affects every person living in Scotland detrimentally.
Capped food prices OK for France but not Scotland because people in England claim it won’t work! Get stuffed!

What’s it got to do with you?
Is there nothing happening in the clown show in England that you feel it necessary to comment on.
Leave all matters in Scotland to those that live there.

Rubbish!
Westminster made the UK unviable itself. No input required from the SNP.
The UK is a failed state. The Union is over.
It served England only to the detriment of the other 3 nations.
Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland will flourish. As for England the dictatorship is over. Suck it up!

Lord Robertson 🤡🤡🤡 in July 2014:

A "yes" vote in the Scottish independence referendum would be "cataclysmic" for the West, and would threaten the stability of the wider world, the former secretary general of Nato, Lord Robertson, has said.

Would someone please inform Alasdair Ferguson of The National that there is no such position as UK Health Secretary. He has written 2 separate articles incorrectly stating Wes Streeting is the UK Heath Secretary. Health is devolved. Streeting‘s responsibilty is for England ONLY. Pathetic!

And the English media’s continual reference to Wes Streeting as THE Health Secretary when in fact there are 4 Health Secretaries in the UK!

Streeting!

For the avoidance of doubt Wes Streeting is the Health Secretary for England.
There are 4 Health Secretaries in the UK.
Neil Gray for Scotland, Jeremy Miles for Wales and Mike Farrar for NI.
Steering is not THE Health Secretary he is one of four.

So England’s economy will be devastated by Scotland becoming independent and Scotland will flourish. What’s not to like!
300+ years of robbing our resources for England’s benefit is about to end.
Thanks Murdo for emphasising the enormous benefits of Scottish Independence.

Rewrite that from the viewpoint of a real Scot........

Here's a list of Scotland's resources which are plundered by rUK.
With independence they'll be under the control of Holyrood.
RUK will then have to stand on their own 2 feet and stop relying on Scotland.

Thanks RF for flagging up the facts!

👏

Criminal

Fundamentally disagree.
We have had > 300 years of Westminster rule and it’s been a total disaster. The latest insult to Scotland is Wasteminster vetoing the Ardersier wind turbine development.
Westminster has done nothing for Scotland.
Scotland will flourish by being independent and back in the EU.

Correction - this would have been Scotland.

Total rubbish.
It’s rammed full of estimates and approximations and designed to belittle Scotlands economic performance. If you had the slightest knowledge of economics you would know it’s a work of fiction. I refer you to Professor Richard Murphy‘s analysis destroying GERS credibility.

God not another GERS nutter.

This is totally incorrect.
Scotland contributed £91.4 billion in tax revenue in 2024.
Stop posting this nonsense as it’s makes us appear economically illiterate.
GDP/ economic activity is not tax revenue.

Never forget her statement - “I hate the SNP”.

I hate Emily Thornberry.

I hate Emily Thornberry.

Sorry to burst your bubble but there has been numerous postings on here recently confusing GDP/economic activity as tax revenue. We are wide open to unionist criticism in doing so In that we don’t understand basic economics.
Your Union Jack allegation is so far off it’s for another planet.

Yes I remember him well.
He never won an election to become PM and only became PM after Wilson stood down. Another one put into high office who could not do the job. The list is endless - Brown, Sunak, Truss etc etc.
Never mind I reckon 2030 for Indy 2 and this time we are going!
