Popular Post snoop1130 Posted July 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2019 Scotland's leader tells Johnson: we want an independence referendum First Minister Nicola Sturgeon visits a building site in Easterhouse during continued Brexit uncertainty in Glasgow, Scotland, Britain, April 5, 2019. John Linton/Pool via REUTERS LONDON (Reuters) - Scotland’s nationalist leader warned British Prime Minister Boris Johnson that she would continue preparations for an independence referendum because his Brexit plans would hurt the Scottish economy. “It is now - more than ever - essential that in Scotland we have an alternative option,” Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said in a letter to Johnson. “The Scottish government will continue to make preparations to give people in Scotland the choice of becoming an independent country,” she said, adding that the Scottish parliament would consider framework legislation for a referendum after the summer recess. -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-07-25 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuamRudy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Didn't she get stuffed at the last election ... maybe she will be in the haggis shortly ...It all depends upon your definition of 'stuffed'. If winning a majority of Scottish Westminster seats means getting stuffed then I guess you are right.

What a completely inane post. You are the reason Scotland is even contemplating independence. Let's break down your statement:- 'Let the rest of the UK vote on Scottish independence too..' - Why? It would have nothing to do with them. 'we will not let you have the pound' - it's not yours (and I assume you're English). It belongs to the whole of the UK which if I recall, Scotland is still very much a part of. 'No tax allowances in the UK' - what's that supposed to mean? If Scotland leaves it will not be part of the UK (as the UK won't exist any more) and will set their own taxes. 'A hard border' - Hadrian built the wall. Scotland's been wanting to build it higher for years to keep you bampots out. 'Get your own army Navy and Airforce' - again, they are not yours. they belong to the whole of the UK. This is the type of English arrogance the Scots have to put up with on a daily basis. 'No right to own property or work in the UK' - I assume again you mean England (no Uk remember) and why wouldn't they? Russians, Chinese, Europeans, Americans and the rest of world can own property in England so why shouldn't the Scots? And as for working, the same rules would apply for any foreign national. The rest are just nonsense so let's skip to the juicy part:- 'No money from Westminster' - Fine. Just leave the oil, natural resources and whisky. They'll be fine. Scotland has a legitimate gripe concerning self-governance as they have no say whatsoever in what political party gets into Westminster and when voting very firmly to remain, it again makes no difference. If the same circumstances were happening to English we'd never hear the end of it. As the leader of the SNP, Sturgeon only has Scotland's interests at heart and although I'm not a fan of leaving the UK, stupid, rabid statements like this make me inclined to reconsider. 5 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
