Are they just hoping to give us all the information the day before we leave the EU? We're still ''without the necessary information'' on Brexit. Didn't stop them voting on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, not all the evidence, if there was the demand for another referendum we'd soon know about it. There isn't. 2 minutes ago, Fide said: If you knew a big f**k off aeroplane was heading directly for your house, would you wait until after it hit before leaving?

Every chance, people are reaching so far though trying to spin this as Westminster not allowing Scotland our voice though. We had a referendum 2 and a half years ago, we'll have another one after Brexit. Anyone with a couple of braincells can see that makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This just seems like a game of chicken and May jumped first. The polls suggest that the public are largely against the timing and still just about in favour of another No vote so if she called out Sturgeon and won that would be the independence movement buggered for a long time. This isn't showing a backbone and slapping down the SNP, this is May pandering to her core without thinking of the long term impact and only serves to galvanise the only popular political party in Scotland. Delightful stupidity from an weak condescending leader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 To be fair, I have absolutely no idea what I'd be doing in Theresa May's position right now. It just so happens, neither does she. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Someone please convince me that this is actually a good thing please. Find it pretty depressing to be honest, how sad, should've voted yes the first time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with a couple of braincells can see that makes sense. You claimed earlier that Sturgeon was attempting to hold a referendum while Brexit negotiations were taking place. That's nonsense: she's specifically called it for the period after Brexit negotiations were expected, according to the art 30 timetable, to have been completed. To me that's a reasonable approach. Asking for to delay it until 'after Brexit' is indefensible. When will that be? The day after? A month? A year? There will always be an argument to delay because the effects of Brexit haven't been fully felt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
