Scotland votes to keep EU flag flying
30 Jan 2020

Scottish lawmakers on Wednesday (29 January) voted to keep the European Union flag flying outside the devolved parliament in Edinburgh after Brexit.

The group that manages parliament had planned to lower the flag at 11.00 pm (2300 GMT) on Friday, when Britain officially leaves the EU.

But members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) voted by 63 to 54 to overturn the decision after heated debate.

Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh had warned ministers that flags “should not become a political issue” and that they “reflect our relationships in law”.

Scotland voted by 62% to 38% to remain in the EU during the 2016 referendum but Britain as a whole voted out, and will leave on Friday.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who leads the pro-EU Scottish National Party, had urged for the EU flag to keep flying, angering opposition parties.

The Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats insisted that the “non-political” ruling of the Parliamentary Corporate Body should have stood.

The motion passed by MSPs said that the flag should stay up “as a sign of support and solidarity with those EU nationals who have made Scotland their home”.

Separately, and as expected, MSPs endorsed Sturgeon’s calls by 64 votes to 54 for a second referendum on Scottish independence, after a previous vote in 2014 saw the proposal rejected.

Sturgeon and the SNP argue that Brexit has changed the “material circumstances” of Scotland’s relationship with the rest of the UK, because of its majority vote to remain in the EU.

Her motion calls on the UK government in London to “reach an agreement with the Scottish Government on such a referendum taking place on a date and in a manner determined by the Scottish Parliament”.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has consistently ruled out holding another referendum.

We're always going to need immigrants when "our own" have been subjected to Tory cuts in education. I suspect a lot of EDL types will be a bit tetchy when they find out trade deals will mean visas, visas and even more visas from the sub-continent. Don't fret though, those working class heroes Reece Mogg and Johnson really care about your average man on the street Brit.

Come on Mandy don't play the racist game. You know you can't have a good curry without a sub-continental.

^ Apart from the fact the UK never lost its sovereignty, you will have to wait until 31 Dec 2020 before the UK leaves the clutches of the EU.

Still, if it keeps half the population happy...

I must have missed that part these last decades as well . . . lost their sovereignty, did they? Shocking. I guess they'll ditch their Euro and go back to the pound . . . oh hang on . . .


Yea, and I think you can take Scotland out of the equation . . . as they don't want to be part of your island

Great ain't it, its just a shame they blew their beans too early on the Indy vote, we could have had Jimmy the First in Holyrood. They could have taken the Great out of Britain.

Blimey we're out tomorrow morning!

Will they be celebrating in Bruxelles?

^ well we're out here tonight. beat you

Only the stupid would celebrate a no win/dual loss, the idiots would do it with light shows, glockenspiel, and fireworks.

Exactly. It should hardly be a celebration on either side

Right . . . because little England and Wales, who knows about NI, can take on the world on THEIR terms . . . yawn

Why? You voted to enter. You voted to leave. Why the acrimonious bravado? Has the EU hindered the UK from leaving? No. Have the UK pollies and gutter press tuned it into a jingoistic and xenophobic fest to feed the ill-educated trogs with union jacks (better re-design the thing now) and pictures of Churchill.

Yea, one can only wish the UK the best, but the inbre, flag-waving imbeciles not so much

At the end of the day, the UK will keep grinding away, as will the EU, so why the hatred towards the EU?

Go. It's done (almost)

Go, get on with your life and stop blaming everything on Brussels, as thick as Trump blaming everything on Obama and the Democrats

^ PH calm down chap, is there something of the Frenchie about you? its all in jest.

I'm calm . . . it's just amazing to see people applauding something that needn't be applauded as it will certainly bring hardship to many and waving the union jack isn't going to change that

British humour, we laugh through adversity or leave and work in a sandpit. i'm not sure what problems are, hasn't the UK had them, lived through them for the whole of the c20th - we just get on with it.

So what's it to you? Hardship to whom? Where do you see that 'hardship'? Right from the start we've had doom forecasters telling us this and that but until now nothing has been forthcoming.

My eyesight is going, i thought the the Sun to the left of the title had an umlaut over the U

11pm GMT is party time

Great British democracy triumphs.

I'm looking forward to seeing Heathrow customs ride all over those people bringing 10 cartons of smokes back from Europe....
