    SI never going to happen - Just sabre rattling.

    From the rather anti Brexit Guardian

    "Sturgeon faces clear short-term obstacles to staging a second vote on leaving the UK. Scottish voters are still not convinced of the case for a fast second referendum and Holyrood requires Westminster’s legal authority to stage one.

    The latest poll, published on Thursday by the Herald from BMG, found independence does not have a majority and that only 12% of voters would switch to back leaving the UK if there was a hard Brexit. It found 47% were against independence, 38% in favour and 12% undecided.

    The economics of Scottish independence are still extremely difficult: the latest GDP data showed Scotland’s economy still growing at a third of the pace of the UK’s as a whole and government data showed a £15bn Scottish spending deficit last year – 21% of overall government spending in Scotland."

    • The Scotts are like a sports team that forgot how to win. I love those people...robotron3k
    • The Guardian was and still is vehemently against independence. Their coverage was abysmal. Recent ed. changes have made it a stringy, centre-ground, mouthpiece.face_melter
    • ^ you mean it reflects the British public. God forbid.kingkong
    • Their continued pandering to the dead, stinking hand of New Labour and occasional Tory forelock tugging is embarrassing.face_melter
    • people want to leave. when it happened people got scared, fear is a disease. long term its better then the growing superstate of the EU.yurimon
