    Like I said, you are quite spectacularly dumb. The next election will be on 7 May 2020 barring a vote of no confidence, so your talk of elections being 'called' by May to strengthen her hand at any time is utter piffle.

    You are wrong. Parliament can make law. It can get rid of any of it at any time. That is how it works.

    No evidence of that thus far- The UK is the fastest growing economy in the EU, and the only EU nation besides Germany even showing real economic growth. Frankly, I believe Calexit will leave a considerably bigger economic problem for Scotland than the remaining UK.

    But let the Scots have their democratic voice- and if they vote to exit the Union, so be it. At least you have the choice- unlike, say, an American state. Personally, I would be sad to see you go, but we'll live without haggis- and you'll learn to live without sassenachs.

    Which means you can't fucking read.

    It is expected on the 7th May 2020 but May can shift it two months on a whim.

    So it is not on a "set date" until announced.

    This means you can't 'fuckng understand' the importance of context. Taking my comment in context you are clearly splitting hairs. Now fuck off back to preening about your knowledge of Pakula movies.

    Hasn't the ginger dwarf now back tracked and said Scotland doesn't want to remain in the EU after Spain told her to get to the back of the queue?

    Sturgeon 'abandons plans to stay in the EU': First Minister 'will scrap policy if she wins referendum' as FOUR polls reveal most Scots want to stay in the UK and don't want another referendum




    Nicola Sturgeon is preparing to water down her Brexit demands after four polls showed she faces losing a Scottish independence referendum- and a majority don't want her to hold one before we leave the EU. A poll for the Scottish Daily Mail today suggested 53 per cent of Scots want to stay in the UK once you exclude those yet to decide, while a YouGov poll for The Times put the advantage even higher at 57-43. A ComRes poll for the Sun found just 25 per cent of Scots thought the country should be fully independent, against 58 per cent who thought it should not and 17 per cent who were unsure. Meanwhile, the huge annual Scottish Social Attitudes Survey included evidence of a sharp rise in Euroscepticism.

    There's no "context" you prick, you're simply wrong.

    Get over it and move on.

    The oil left at its current price is worth less than the decommissioning of the rigs.
    Besides. ...The Shetland and Orkney Islanders technically own it and they are firmly for the Union and out of the EU.

    The Scots are managing without their oil so why shouldn't we ? You do not represent Scottish people or their values. You are nothing but a pseudo-Arab. Scottish people work and have a more sophisticated approach to life than you have.

    Sturgeon is a piece of shit.

    With the 100+ Trump/ Seppo political threads don't think anyone is going to object to 2 Jockenese threads.

    I do think it's a shame that 750,000 Scots residing in the rest of the UK will have no vote on this issue. They will have had a vote on the EU referendum...
