"Latest poll: YES 56% No 44% The direction of travel is quite firm now I'm not surprised. (I was surprised Scotland didn't vote for independence when they had the chance previously.)" Do you have anything positive to say about England? Anything you could say you're proud of? I read your comments as forever angry and being grumpy, a little hard done by. Are your posts really reflective of my observations, or have I got you wrong | |||

(More seriously: this place isn't a reflection of real life, especially the politics bit. This is where people generally complain about this or that political person or situation. In real life, I tend to just roll my eyes at papers & get on with my day.) | |||

"Latest poll: YES 56% No 44% The direction of travel is quite firm now" If they do, I think the rest of the UK would be far better off economically. | |||

Same goes for Irish and Welsh :p" Scottish, English, Welsh and Northern Irish are all British. The Scottish are certainly not English.

"Good on ‘em. More nails in the coffin of the criminal tory party. And if Scotland manage to get back into the EU, even better. " If Scotland leaves the UK there will be even fewer nails in the coffin of the "criminal Tory party". | |||

"Think you need to go to Specsavers OP, latest poll showed 54/46 in favour of staying in UK. Those figures are purely facts, and have nothing to do with the will of the people wanting to leave the UK " Why do they want to leave? Is it for economic reasons, better NHS, better laws, better education, better infrastructure, why? Well all the above are in the hands of Hollyrood. So why? Because Sturgeon wants more power!! If her anti-Westminister, anti-English rhetoric had her targets changed to "blacks" she would be guilty of racism. If Brexit was a balls-up after 40 years, because people voted to "Take back control", "Hate the Johnny foreigners in Brussles" how will independence fair after 400? | |||

"Having half my family from up in the frozen north they have seen what a disaster Brexit has been and are very wary of making the situation even worse. Get rid of the thieving deceitful Tories and hopefully get us all closer to Europe . We have now clearly seen the Brexit sunlit uplands we’re just another lie. Fabulous trade deals indeed . Scotland is an amazing place and the population is very proud of its history and should definitely embrace their nationalistic feelings. That being said I for one don’t want to see them break from the Kingdom. We will all be losers if that happens. " Think Sturgeon is going for best of 3 .... if she loses this one she'll probably go for best of 5 | |||

When will Sturgeon, supported by her 1.3 million, stop telling the other 64 million what to do? | |||

"Scottish independence would be terrible for all involved, anyone claiming the rest of Britain wouldn't suffer as a result is lying, it's just Scotland would suffer worse. If your home is burning you don't try to put it out with petrol and gunpowder. Though it would be foolish to plea for sanity in a place such as modern Britain. " Pls cam you explain how scotland will suffer worse? | |||

" I work in finance and Brexit will be a picnic compared to a Scottish independence decision. The money flight will be enormous and the lack of a currency deal will plunge the fledgling economy into a long period of austerity. Unfortunately Sturgeon knows this and chooses to ignore these facts as they were presented to her. In the end she is just another grubby politician out for herself, her caring rhetoric is just that total BS" I agree with you. When SNP politicians depend on "them against us", "they think we are shit" and "Westminister ignores the wishes of the Scottish people" rhetoric instead of talking about the realistic benefits and losses of Independence you know the only beneficiaries of independence will be the handful of politicians who can milk it. | |||

"Britain" is a land mass and was England and Wales. "Great Britain" is the lands of England Wales and Scotland combined. The Political entity is "The United Kingdom" | |||

""British" is and has always been a political construct that cloaks England. There is no such place and no such race. " Well that first part is just nonsense isn't it. There is an island called Britain, and when grouped with its associated smaller islands it's called Great Britain. The second part is true though, there is no British race. Just as there is no Scottish race, or English race. | |||
