So your criticism isn’t that she “had no idea of the consequences” but that she didn’t just say “it’ll all be good after a few hiccups?”. This seems like you’re not shocked at her for “not knowing” but rather for not voicing enthusiastic if blind faith - is that correct? We shouldn’t be looking for knowledge of the likely future but faith? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 2 hours ago, Dawson Park Boy said: God, that was a frightening interview. To think that the FM of Scotland had no idea of the economic consequences of breaking away from our biggest trading partner is just incredible. She’s obviously much more comfortable in dealing with things like baby boxes, self ID and the like. Time the media grew one and started to take her to task properly. Boris would never get away with that. You've reached point and laugh levels now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I assume you’d approve is for her to disregard it and announce that the people of Scotland have had enough of experts, declaring only that we’d prosper mightily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That she didn't was probably the reason she got visibly irritated. Look on the bright side, this seems to be proof positive that she has indeed been getting on with the day job and concentrating 100% on covid. Alternatively, that she doesn't have a scooby, in matters concerning the current or potential future governance of Scotland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Forbes seems to be the new leader in waiting, probably 3-4 years down the line, maybe after Indy. She's young, pretty and smart but a member of the wee free church, so gets -10 god bothering points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pandemic and all the Salmond sideshows have definitely taken their toll. She looks shattered and understandably running on empty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 This is something I've said that slightly bugs me, the SNP know that repetitive Independence talk doesn't wash with all of the electorate so they're very clever with not directly stating it but just implying it through "Self determination" or other similar open ended wording and the Unionist opposition aren't as wise to this and do just straight up attack Independence and therefore create the illusion that they're obsessed with this and care more about it than the SNP. This probably also adds fuel to the fire off Yesdas not believing the SNP actually want Indy (bizarrely). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Tories using the words self determination would particularly play well with anyone outside of the real hardcore unionists. Stuff like separation and divorce work better for them, rather than saying outright, 'we don't believe Scots should have the power to determine their own statehood' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 9 hours ago, 101 said: I think that's down to her being blind sided by a question, I have no idea why after we left the UK trade would with the UK cost any more unless England and Northern Ireland demanded a hard border and extra paper work, it's not in their interest to do so. Also let's not forget trade with the EU would eventually, subject to a trade agreement and latterly rejoining, become significantly cheaper. Goods may even avoid the channel crossings which would be devastating for the ports down there. Thing is, I think England probably would put up trade barriers if we became independent. I think they're precisely that small, as Brexit has shown, and that wasn't in their interests either. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they put up border controls and passport checks on the roads. That's not an argument against independence though, if anything it's an argument for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
