Self praise is no praise William. The proclivity to blow smoke up one's own posterior is trait which has coincided with Nationalism in Scotland and isn't a great look.
"We are kinder, more tolerant, more loved around the world than yeez" - boak ! And frankly untrue.
Your pathetic response shows you up , William posts an intelligent articulate post whilst your response is the pathetic exiles cringe. Showing your inferiority complex there.

Firstly Sturgeon had not committed to backing Scottish EU membership because key nationists like former SNP leader Jim Dollars oppose it, secondly as soon as an independent Scotland were admitted Catalonian, Basque, northern Italian, Flemish and even Bavarian nationalists would be demanding the same
The real question is where will Scots opinion be in 2020 and more likely the 2021 elections as TM will not concede Schedule 30 before. I believe and I think DavidL agrees with me that the 2021 election result will confirm or not a de facto referendum
Yes she is so tough she will just order us about , shock coming G, hard brexit and out on her posterior with much wailing and gnashing of teeth coming up.

LOL, you are evenmaking up imaginary people now and the one you meant is not and has not been for at least 20 years a "key Nationalist". You are deluded.
Malc - I assume that is Jim Sillars, the former deputy SNP leader, and he does keep popping up on Scots tv

G, he has not been seen since referendum and he was laughed at then as well. Not even yesterday's man. He ended up like the embarrassing uncle at weddings.

No hard Brexit Malc - remember she is an ex remainer like myself and knows the middle way - she also wants to devolve powers to the Assemblies and regions.

I must be missing it G , I have not seen him for years, but he was way past it even then and was living in the 70's.
Over funded, over represented in Parliament, and over discussed on PB. Scotland is so incredibly boring.
I have to disagree with this for so many reasons, but none so important as the fact that my wife is a Scot, and has the Scottish flag as the front license plate on her car.

I don't usually see it , too busy. I do believe you , I just don't see as much TV nowadays.

Malc - I am sure we could have a very interesting and respectful conversation if we ever met
If he had supported Leave they would have won by a landslide!
Oh the irony if he only supported Remain if he thought Leave couldn't win.
I suspect he was just "passionately apathetic" saw it as not the main event, and just hadn't figured out what a well of disquiet about the EU Project there was out there to be tapped. Shame really. In fairness who amongst our leading politicians and commentariat did? Very few one suspects, hence the seismic shock that still stalks the land from Guardian columnists to Heseltine.
So many at the top read this so wrong over so many years as they slowly enmeshed us unwittingly (Major?) or wittingly (Blair), without getting the consent of the people. An historic balls up really, probably trying to over compensate for "missing the bus" in 1957 and letting others write the rules from the off.

Can Westminster just ignore the Scottish Parliament's request for a 2nd referendum, rather than just flat-out reject it?
I would expect the Prime Minister to confirm 'now is not the time' and it can only be considered once Brexit has occured including any transitional arrangements
Can Westminster just ignore the Scottish Parliament's request for a 2nd referendum, rather than just flat-out reject it?
I'm not even sure what the mechanism is? Is there something laid down in statute saying Parliament/Government must do X after the Scottish Parliament does Y?

You may have some connection with Scotland, but your way off with Sillars.
"David Cameron has reinvented himself as a Brexiteer - saying he never 'liked' the EU and is glad he called the referendum."
Who is going to tell TSE?
He has no choice to defend his referendum and Brexit otherwise he trashes his own legacy
The number of people who get a throb on about the EU is infinitesimal. A large number of Remainers were making a calculation about economics I suppose and what they believed would be the negative economic consequences.
The most ardent remainers of my acquaintance all have european family or property. It seemed to characterise their desire to Remain more than any other characteristic.

I see that standards have really collapsed in the House of Commons. Fancy openly announcing yesterday that two Tory MPs have had a bastard together - one of the MPs being an adulterer. It would be good to see his Association deselect him.
Are you being serious? Don't you think this is a tad harsh?
I am being serious actually. Would Theresa May or Thatcher have become PM had they had children born out of wedlock?
Well Ed Milliband came close!
I suspect he was married for reasons of electoral expediency.
He still had children born out of wedlock though.
Yes - I am well aware of that. I suspect he was persuaded that the country was not prepared for a PM to be shacked up at No 10 with kids born out of wedlock.
I also well recall the stir caused by David Evans the sitting Tory MP for Welwyn & Hatfield at the time of the 1997 election when he drew attention to the fact that his Labour opponent - a woman - had three bastards. Politically I had no time for him , but I did agree with him on that point.
Indeed. The new editor will use his platform effectively.

The Head Honcho of Remain really not keen on the EU.
In my experience, a fair number of people distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children when making wills.
