Bit Of A Cat Fight In The Commons.....

[ToraToraTora]

Ian Blackford whining on about different dependence as usual, fellow Scott points out 55% of voters in Scotland voted for parties that want to remain in the UK. Oh dear!

[Togo]

The cad.........fancy muddying the waters with dirty facts.

[saintpeter48]

They want to keep voting until Nicola Sturgeon gets the result she wants, a bit like the remoaners over EU, and we all know what happened there!

[ToraToraTora]

I'd let them have another vote frankly, fed up with the whining. Only 45% voted SNP so I don't think there is really any change in views since the last vote.

[THECORBYLOON]

Two of the anti-independence parties had election manifestos including promises to have a second Brexit referendum including the option to remain.

Why then, are those same parties opposed to having a second independence referendum?

[theshedman]

Yes let them have another vote but if they turn it down again then Nicola Sturgeon has to go as part of the deal in letting them have it. Otherwise she will be asking for another in a couple of years time.

[Deskdiary]

Sturgeon is getting on my bloody nerves telling everybody that they have a "mandate" for a 2nd referendum, for the very simple reason they have no such thing - they do not have a mandate.

She's giving Abbott a bloody good run in being the most irritating woman in politics.

[Vicasso]

Possibly the SNP gained Labour seats in Scotland for the same reasons the Tories did in England: Corbyn and Labour were unelectable.

[emmie]

I watched NS on tv this morning, she is undoubtedly a clever woman, but misguided and i sincerely hope she doesn't get he way.

[david small]

This is becoming tediously familial.

[ToraToraTora]

why do they keep calling it "independence" that's the last thing they want.

[Theland]

Give them their vote just to shut them up.
The Queen will raise an eyebrow, and the Union will survive.

[albaqwerty]

the fellow 'Scott' (which isn't his name btw) is a Conservative and Union Party member.
Spoke a lot of sense.
Some SNP supporters do not want independence, some do, same as with the 55% who didn't vote for the SNP possibly.
She really should concentrate on what she does have power over and stop the continual decline into the sewers of Health and Education.

[Apc2604]

Then build a *** high wall from coast to coast and let them get on with it. (The whole thing is making me angry). This country has more important things to be thinking about at present.

[jourdain2]

I rather think that Yorkshire has a larger economy than Scotland (I stand to be corrected, but I know it is bigger than some small countries) I do wish that La Sturgeon could tell the difference between 43% of the vote (which the SNP got) and 51% (which they didn't).

Also, she signed a legal paper before the Indyref stating that it was 'once in a generation' …. errrr kids are reproducing fast up there!

[Apc2604]

Scotland accounts for about 8.3% of the UK population. We all matter of course, but Sturgeon seems to think that independence is a priority.

[JimF]

She does indeed. The clue's in the party name.

[Khandro]

She, & the rest of this bunch should address the brave Scotsmen who fought valiantly & gave their lives in the last two world wars, (& more) not just for Scotland, but for Great Britain & the British isles, (it's all one, you know?).
The first man on Sword Beach was a Scot. playing 'Road to the Isles' on bagpipes.
Those men listening to that swarming Sword, had as someone stated below unquestionably, "balls of steel". I can't listen to this without crying.

[THECORBYLOON]

"not just for Scotland, but for Great Britain & the British isles, (it's all one, you know?)"

It seems you DON'T know there's a difference between Great Britain and the British Isles.

[THECORBYLOON]

"Also, she signed a legal paper before the Indyref stating that it was 'once in a generation'"

What was the "legal paper" she signed?

[albaqwerty]

I'd love to know what legal paper she signed as well, especially as she wasn't First Minister at that time.
