I thought it was all still up in the air as to whether there would have to be court proceedings to iron all this out. Where’s Mike Russell in all of this?

The answer is simple.

A referendum of Scotland leaving the UK including the rest of the UK this time and she will be gone.

Then she can see how her beloved EU treat her !

[ToraToraTora]

It was a UK referendum and the UK parliament must implement it. Nowt to do with the devolved "parliaments".

[murraymints]

Queen Nicola thinks she rules the world..sooner she's gone the better

^^ hear hear

The main issue is under Westminster control, but having been daft enough to set up these other levels of government in all but England (because the English can't have what others do, although truth been known it's an expense we all ought to do without) there are now devolved power issues.

"Both sides have agreed that some powers should go into UK-wide frameworks, but differ over how this should be done and who should have the final say over them in future."

She's going to take every opportunity to be as awkward as possible, we all know this.

[scooping]

There are six million people in Scotland, nine million in Greater London, 59 million in the union. Why we should give the Scots such attention is perverse. They can *** off any time and I can't think of single reason why I should care.

Wha's got the soor plooms the day? Leave oor Nicola alane, she's a bra' lassie.

quaint idea. Should the Brexit referendum have allowed citizens of the rest of the EU to vote?

[New Judge]

"Should the Brexit referendum have allowed citizens of the rest of the EU to vote?"

Not quite the same thing, jno. Not quite the same thing at all.

The EU is not (yet) and independent sovereign nation and citizens from other EU nations should have no say over the affairs of another member state, even if it is associated with EU membership. But more than that, there are not vast sums of EU taxpayers' money being shovelled across the English Channel every week to support the UK (quite the reverse in fact). In contrast, huge lorry loads of English tax revenue head up the M6 every night to fund the outrageous "Barnett Formula" which provides about £2k per head per annum more to the Scots than to the English. Successive governments have refused to do anything about this iniquity and, as a result of the Westminster government's largesse, the Scots now have their own spending plans which enable them to provide "free" goods and services which English taxpayers have to pay for.

The question is not simply that of Scottish independence but also of Scotland's membership of the United Kingdom. It is not unreasonable, therefore, for the entire UK electorate to be asked if they want this blatant unfairness, which has only been exacerbated by devolution, to continue.

You lot of ab ers who cannot/won't use someones proper name of title discrediting your q&a .

[ToraToraTora]

Yet another BA judge!

[steg]

New judge ///Very possibly. But before she gets her Parish Council involved in the intricacies brought about by the ridiculous devolution arrangements provided by Mr Blair, has she finished decorating her spare room so that she can take in the Syrian refugee she promised she would about three years ago?///

You are very disrespectful for a person calling them selves a judge. It’s not a parish council and she never made that promise you keep saying she made.
She said she would be happy to take in a refugee, no promise to take one in

[ToraToraTora]

nice one judge, we have got william wallace to come and play, double BA! So Steg, we know you hate the English, fair enough but are you any happier to be Juncket and Barmpot's whipping boy?

[steg]

I would rather you come up and whip me ttt

[ToraToraTora]

so no actual argument then? right oh! FREEEEEDOM!

[steg]

I’m not here to argue ttt, I’ll leave that to yourself

[ToraToraTora]

Ok fair enough you hate the English you know not why, you want to be in the EU but no not why, must be bliss.
