She's already said she'd like to pull Scotland out of the UK and into the EU so what relevance is it to her?

[anneasquith]

None......... She's a foreigner who is bleeding England dry, such a ****ing liberty.

One does have to wonder TTT. Seems she just likes poking her nose into everyones business.

Or perhaps she doesnt want independence from the UK really?

[douglas9401]

She sees herself as a major player on the word stage, that's all.

Actually her biggest achievement so far is to have passed her odd way of speaking on to some of her drones.
Not forgetting her selective respect for referendum results.

TTT, why are you concerned about Scotland's future, what relevance is to you?

[youngmafbog]

THECORBYLOON you need to re-read the OP.

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT is asking why Nicola Sturgeon cares about Brexit talks and its relevance to her, I am asking why he cares about Scotland and its relevance to him.

[ToraToraTora]

TCL: it is relevant to me because wee shoggy is trying to de rail brexit. Like all the SGB they'll do anything to get their own way. All I care about is getting out of the EU and anything or anyone trying to affect that is relevant to me.

[dannyk13]

Because she is afraid that the EU will not accept Scotland as an independent country.

[THECORBYLOON]

Perhaps then, she is concerned about the impact of Brexit on Scotland and its future.

What is "wee shoggy" meant to mean by the way?

[anneasquith]

I think ttt thinks wee shoggy is a derogatory term. He made it up . LOL.

“I am asking why he cares about Scotland and its relevance to him.”

I imagine it’s because, like me, he’s a little tired of seeing and hearing Scotland’s First Minister droning on about her concern for the 41% of the Scottish electorate who bothered to vote and who voted to remain, and of her suggesting that some kind of “special deal” should be negotiated to enable them to retain their rights to EU membership. Lots of areas in the UK voted to remain but those areas do not have EU membership in their own right. I imagine he’s also concerned that undo emphasis is being placed on the needs of these 1.6m people and that concern for them may jeopardise a smooth and timely exit from the EU, for which more than 17m people voted.

[ToraToraTora]

yes indeed judge.

[Togo]

Its called nuisance politics, when you don't know what you want you make sure no one else gets what they want.

[douglas9401]

'shoggy' might be 'Shuggy' misheard. A common nickname for Hugh round these parts.

[THECORBYLOON]

NJ, the percentage of the Scots electorate who "bothered to vote and voted remain" is higher than the percentage of the UK electorate who bothered to vote and voted leave.

[ichkeria]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: two parts of the UK voted Leave and two voted Remain. While the overall figures were in favour of Leave, I think that makes for a very poor overall mandate for "Leave".
Of course Cameron and co were presumably so confident of victory and so scared of the Ukip tendency that no caveats were built into the referendum result. For heaven's sake, it was actually left to LEAVE supporters to raise that petition about the result!!

Here we go again. Give us the NUMBERS of voters not a distorted % of committed voters. Perhaps the non voters were 100% Brexicutioners.

[THECORBYLOON]

TOGO, it was NJ who mentioned the percentage and his use of the word "bothered" appeared to be used in a dismissive manner so don't be having a go at me, okay?

[Togo]

Ahh, but at least Judge was "bothered" to define and expand his points.
