Last time I looked Scotland was part of the UK so what does she think she's going to "negotiate"?

I cannot see a need for negotiations at all. If I join a club ( any club) & I wish to leave, I leave end of. Stop dragging the feet & get on with Brexit ASAP.

Abusive nicknames are puerile and offensive. Friendly nicknames are fine.
Because the rules on here are made by left leaning liberals. The most left leaning liberals best tool is to silence their opponents.
Be careful youngmafbog, or you might find yourself in the wilderness.
“Abusive nicknames are puerile and offensive. Friendly nicknames are fine.”

Right. So who decides what’s abusive and what’s friendly?

“Can we just call her Nicola Sturgeon please, without the unnecessary insulting nickname?”(From this post where 3Ts received a “yellow card”):

Off topic, I know, but sometimes I just can’t help myself. Nicknames are a part of life and politicians should certainly not be immune. George Osborne was frequently referred to as “Gideon”. I know it’s his real name but one he chose not to use. Mrs Thatcher, “The Wicked Witch”. Neil Kinnock, The Welsh Windbag. Yvette Balls, Pixie Balls-Cooper. The list is extensive. Nobody though any of them offensive. I don’t see anything remotely offensive about referring to Ms Sturgeon as Jimmy K. If anything, it should be Janette Tough (aka Wee Jimmy Krankie) who should take offence. Apart from bearing a remarkable physical resemblance to Ms Tough in her earlier years, Ms Sturgeon seems to have developed a character which is about as inane. Since Wee Jimmy was around long before Ms Sturgeon was out of nappies I think the real Jimmy Krankie is entitled to be upset at having his character stolen. Just as a point of interest, has anybody seen Ms Sturgeon and Ms Tough in the same room at the same time?

But back to the question, the delusions of grandeur under which Ms Sturgeon and her chums operate (of which their view that they are entitled to separate arrangements post-Brexit is just one example of many) are manifestations of what many warned would inevitably follow the ridiculous devolution arrangements put in place by Tony Blair. I don’t normally care two hoots what the Scots do. The river Tweed is far enough away from me to not normally give cause for concern and I’m used to paying for whatever it is they do. But among these latest propositions is that Scotland should make its own arrangements on free movement of people from the EU. Unless they are considering rebuilding Hadrian’s Wall, that’s a definite no-no.

Am I the only person who doesn't understand what "Jimmyk" means?

Also, cue weird paranoid right-wing conspiracy theorists who insist that "The Left" (tm) control everything despite the fact that every opinion poll that has ever been held on AB was if anything centre-right.

Bang On ronaldo, BA, no idea why we seem to be having difficulty leaving.

"Am I the only person who doesn't understand what "Jimmyk" means? " - it seems you are Kromo!
Anyone care to enlighten me?
She's doing what she perceives is right to protect Scotland, it's her job. However in this case she has no scope to be involved. Post Brexit she can do what she wants but not until then
14.18 TTT - You sure know how to keep telling us you've no idea, despite many on here explaining time and time again.

One could get the impression that you're not really trying.
I knew who jimmyk was as soon as I saw this thread. My name for the wench in question was Wee Burney... just being friendly like. The woman was beaten at the polls to leave the Uk and now to leave the EU, the SNP is not the only party they have. Hopefully they will get rid of her and the other fishy bloke soon.
Question Author
but you haven't explained anything, it's all unclear what you think is needed. When I leave a club I walk out of the door, I don't care what they do after, I don't care what they think, simples, it does seem to concern those that do not really want to leave so they run around trying to stick their noses up the plasters of those that remain, I'm not doing that.
Oh god!

I think the reference is probably a bit before my time, 3T :P
Why this insistence that it's only the left who have a monopoly on silencing their opponents?
Tora 'but you haven't explained anything, it's all unclear what you think is needed'

I've provided many links and references to the Judge's rulings which still remains the main stumbling block, as have others. NJ has explained the legal complexities in even more details yet you still fail to grasp the concept of leaving to our basic constitutional position. Comparing it to an individual leaving a club is completely irrelevant.
Question Author
yes you have ZM, but you have yet to explain why any of it is relevant.
"If I join a club ( any club) & I wish to leave, I leave end of. "

Except that most people aren't members of clubs for 40 years to the extent that both club and member have become deeply integrated with each other, so that "just leaving" isn't really a viable option.

A better comparison might be to some form of surgery -- say, to separate conjoined twins. If you literally just ripped the two apart then both would end up dead. So, at the very least, some care is needed in performing any operation to separate the two.
"Anyone care to enlighten me?"

If you read my answer at 13:08, Kromo, you would see frequent references to Wee Jimmy Krankie. A simple Google search will show you who the Krankies are and any accompanying pictures will demonstrate why 3Ts has bestowed Ms Sturgeon with the soubriquet.

There has also been a mention of "Wee Burney". This is a reference to Rab C and Mary Nesbitt's son in the series that bore Rab's name. The character was played brilliantly by the late Eric Cullen. Cullen dies of a heart attack aged just 31 and was for a time under suspicion of paedophilia. He always maintained his innocence:
