Nicola Sturgeon Says Independence Is In Reach For Scotland

[Bobbisox1]

Is this something she strives for and is a personal goal or do the Scots wish to break away from the Union ,we have I’m sure,many Scottish people on AB, I wonder what their thoughts are about ‘going it alone’

[emmie]

she is *** deluded.

[emmie]

I can't be more succinct than that, apologies for the
profanity at this time of day

[Bobbisox1]

I listened Emmie and what came over was her obsession with leaving the Union

[douglas9401]

When you're right you're right, emmie.

[Bobbisox1]

Haha, I thought it was funny :0)

[emmie]

I am nodding off listening to those tones, she is not someone who should run a whelk stall let alone running a country. The Scots i know think she is a joke, one that isn't remotely funny.

[THELOONYCORBYN]

and then she wants to have that "independence" taken away by the eussr ....of course thats got nothing to with wanting billions in handouts from them to keep scootyland afloat...

Got to laugh at the position of the play button in the photo.

[emmie]

indeed you are right ^^

[emmie]

yes Danny that is quite appropriate.

[Bobbisox1]

It is funny Douglas , haha

Nicola - Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright.

[ToraToraTora]

but she doesn't want independence, she wants dependence on anyone but England. I'd be willing let her have it I mean that's 50% of the deficit for a start. Then there's the Barnet formula etc. Then in the unlikely the EUSSR let her in she'll have to build a border! deluded is a mild description.

I can't listen to that, I'm hoping for a peaceful day today in preparation for the vile, loud and even louder bangs that will go on and on and on tonight terrifying my poor friend's 8 year old dog so much that he doesn't know what to do with himself and can't stop shaking.

[CrapAtCryptics]

She wants to be the biggest fish in her little pond but at everyone elses expense - like other contributors I doubt if she can maintain the thingsn they to their constituents if they leave the Uk. Ukexit anyone...

[CrapAtCryptics]

Oops should be a give after they apologies

[Bigbad]

Maybe if it was made clear that independence would mean exactly that, then people may not be so keen.
No Scottish money paid into English coffers, and absolutely no financial help from England whatever happens. I wonder how long free prescriptions would last then?
If I recall, during the last indyref campaign, there was no definitive answer to what the currency would be. That would need addressing also.

I do believe that this woman is more concerned about her own place in history than she is her own country’s future.

[steg]

Aye she’s so *** deluded,
she’s the only person in the SNP that wants independence, she’s the only person in Scotland that wants independence, no body will ever vote for her blah de *** blah.....or, just maybe she’s not

[davebro]

Steg, In 2014 Scots voted 55 to 45 against independence. Do you really believe another vote now would reverse that decision?

[steg]

Aye it could well do, but I’m sure it would be quite close either way
