icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

However, once again, England supplies more products and services into Scotland than they supply to us. Therefore, despite their apparent weak position, you may need to think properly about this.
Interestingly, you appear aggressive to the Scots wanting to leave the UK and yet IIRC, you were pretty upset when the EU got the hump with us wanting to leave their Union - hilarious
Personally, I dont see how Scotland would manage as an independent nation but, equally, despite nearly all of their MP's being from the SNP, they actually have no power in the UK Parliament whatsoever and as a nation have been ignored and shabbily treated by Westminster over very many years, leading to the rise in the SNP's popularity.
It's sure to get interesting and can you imagine if the UK were hit with tariffs and at some point in the future, the Scots and N. Irish were not.
As I say, it's interesting to see that some who were in favour of Brexit, don't believe that Scotland should be "allowed" to go it alone.
Especially Mr Johnson
As has been pointed out before - you are either in favour of democracy or not - you can't be democratic and only support democracy when you win. Why should 5m hold sway over the other 65m its not how it works. Why should 48 MPs have any power against 600 MPs - it reflects the population mix too c7%. its odd that they are even in the UK parliament given they have their own assembly?
I appreciate for you lefties - you know what's best for everyone - and anyone who has a different view is simply stupid but that's dictatorship not democracy. No doubt you think Corbyn won the argument and how could these thick northerners not see it!!
I have no issue with Scotland leaving - As you quote says - I would let them have the vote. What was must avoid is the misunderstanding that "people didn't know what they were voting for". It is certain that Queen Nicola will only push the perceived positives of leaving the union.
On a positive Labour will never get into power again without the help of the big number of MPs from Scotland. Plus the weeble will wobble back off to Skye ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

| I’m newish here and have just spent a few hours reading through many posts about Brexit, Devolution and general politics. It reminded me about an old saying ‘don’t talk about politics or religion’ with friends and acquaintances. Because being totally honest I have not read so much rubbish in a very long time. Shame those contributing cannot focus on what is really important ant ......... Rugby League!!!!!!

| Quote: The Ghost of '99 "A certain type of person really hates Nicola Sturgeon, it's funny to visualise them all gammony faced in rage about her.
I don't agree with her core policy but she's a very good, honest, hard working and very effective politician who does what she promises within the framework of the current settlement.'"
You’ve not been to Govanhill in a while then lol ?
