Why not just put a big capital A instead of It's? "It's huge day" ffs. Given the magnitude of the announcement it's amazing that the National is the only front page main headline. The other papers wouldn't want to set themselves up for a fall by calling it a big day then having to backtrack and play it down in the event of a favourable outcome for Yes. Of course if the SG rule against it will be DISASTER, CATASTROPHIC across all the shitrags tomorrow. Not feeling terribly confident of a good outcome tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, so all the more reason for a headline that makes sense. I'm angrier about this than I probably should be, "It's huge day", ffs, but replace "It's" with "A" and that's a better headline.

Frank Grimes Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) I suppose we’ll find out once and for all if this much trumpeted “partnership of equals” is a voluntary Union or not I suspect not and the tedium will continue on and on with every single PM just saying “No” because they can Edited November 23, 2022 by Frank Grimes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Does anyone actually think that the court will rule in our favour? I doubt it.

(As in that the Scottish government do have the power to call a2nd referendum) I think it's at least possible. But no. Possible outcomes in order of desirability: Yes crack on No beat it. Not going to rule on this until legislation is more advanced. Not going to rule on this and we're not going to allow a further submission* *this is the sort of doomsday scenario where the constructive ambiguity (but no, no you cannae) can continue forever..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTG_03 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 The worst outcome would be a non decision. If it's ruled that the Scottish government doesn't have the power to hold a referendum then would that not be good news for yes? Unionists are all about being better together, union of equals etc. This would clearly show it's not a voluntary union and certainly not a union of equals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 You can’t blame the Supreme Court for that, it’s clearly the right call. They judge solely on the law and the law is pretty clear that the constitution is a reserved matter. In a moral sense however it clearly isn’t right. What now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 At least there is an answer, and probably the one everyone was planning for. Now to use the next GE as a de facto referendum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
