British Indy: What Happens Now?

:Hilarious:.wow, sounds just like brexit. but if we are gonna draw comparisons. and i suspect if you dug further you would find that would only apply if scotgov followed UK spending plans, paying our share of uk dedt but excludes our share of the assets. at least half the population know this, many are also actively trying to conceal it. does it include the lost figures from Scottish products leaving from other uk ports and hubs?
if this country cant succeed with this in its back pocket then NO country can.
with just a quick reminder that indireff has nothing to do with old disputes but just the general direction westminster has taken us with no sign of it ever changing.

If there's a valid legal argument, then why not challenge?
Surely that's exactly what democracy is about?

 

I wouldn't gloat, c n f. The Treasury forecast is that the UK coffers would be £66 billion worse off under a hard Brexit. This is the Government's own forecast.

That equates to approximately an increase of 12% in the basic rate of income tax to get that money back into the Treasury.

 

Strange that anyone who challenges the Brexit view is anti democratic.

Democracy is all about having a right to oppose the status quo position.

Just maybe the Court case will win which would mean the end of May as PM and a General Election.

 

assuming employment rates remain the same.

 

aye thats 300 years of union for yah.

@chizel welcome to the world of page 6. When your sentiments were made, and the same people still make the same point over and over and over and over........like a 45 that lasts 3 hours: change the record

 

are you trying to prove a point by using facts , figures and statistics ??? ,,if so you forgot / omitted that recent studies show that Scotland is the most popular country / region ( OMG :Banghead: ) of britain to live in ..

 

we can drop the region bit. :smileys:

 

eeek,,, their term , not mine

 

you missed the shale gas :disappointed:

 

which almost definitely wont be coming out.

 

But regularly in by ship to Grangemouth :wink:

 

and?

 

Better to import than locally produce?

 

Hope you are not suggesting the scots are happy to take, not admit they do and refuse to help others...

 

I'd fear to tread that path :fearscream:

 

better to follow the wishes of the country. the majority dont want it there fore wont complain if it goes tits up.
the torys are promoting it,labour are playing silly games along with the greens i think by trying to ban it despite knowing a ban could be challenged and possibly overturned. a moratorium while waiting for evidence cant be overturned
