The question is whether there will be a tipping point when wider the Scottish political class begins to see it as inevitable. It's quite plausible to imagine a scenario in which the next referendum is almost a formality.
Which is fair comment. It may come to that. It may not. We shall see.
Question: As Mr Farron and others have wanted on the EU, should, in your view, there be one or two referendums? One on the principle of independence, and one on the exit terms when agreed with rUK? Or just one and let's see what we negotiate.
Genuinely intrigued.
In the case of Scottish independence, a Yes vote would be a vote in favour of the Scottish government's plan so they should just get on with it.
The result of the EU referendum is more complicated to deal with because it set a new course against previous government policy. Again I think I'd be against a second referendum unless there was a genuine choice on the table and the government didn't think parliament would give enough legitimacy to their preferred option. The problem is that if it all goes wrong then there may be little choice.
Good post. It’s very difficult for people to criticise the Israeli Government as those who oppose them on other matters immediately accuse the speaker of anti-semitism, thereby promoting themselves as ‘of the light’.
Mr Cole, it really isn't difficult to criticise the Israeli government. "I think the Israeli government's decision to build a new settlement on the West Bank is wrong and unhelpful". See it is that easy.

Pointless giving the nationalists in Scotland anymore democratic referendums as they aren't prepared to respect the results.
Incidentally, I suspect I might be the only person here who hasn't seen it yet (and also wants to) but The 100 starts again tonight on terrestrial TV, 9pm on E4, I think.

It's very easy to criticise Israel without being anti-Semitic. Just avoid saying things like "I think the Israelis are no different from the Nazis", or "Zionists control Western politics."

Exactly. Someone might still claim that is anti Semitic, but in the absence of other evidence such a claim would clearly be bogus. Simple.

But then the right wing Jewish run Zionist supporting media will spin your words against you and give you a bad press (or some such conspiracy) ;-)

Indeed. Overuse of the cry "racism" or "anti-Semitism" for things which are neither risks people dismissing real racism and anti-Semitism when they rear their ugly heads. And the plain fact is that these are real problems which lead to real crimes against real people.
Given the long history of abusive and hateful language used about Jews over centuries it behoves intelligent and decent people to be careful about not using the sort of language which has, as we know all too well, been used to engender a climate in which the most appalling action could be taken against Jews. And we should realize that there are - sadly - too many people out there who do use such language and other weaselly euphemisms precisely because they do want to engender such hate and do not accept either the right of Israel to exist or, in some cases, the right of Jews to exist.
Dehumanising people is the first step to .... well, we know exactly what it can - and has in recent memory in our continent - led to. It is beyond sad that it should need saying in this day and age when discussing a party which once used to stand against fascists and anti-semites and violent cults.

You are, as often happens, quite right. Basic statements like that are acceptable. However, it’s when one asks the supplementary 'why do you think that the Israeli decision......’ that the trouble arises.

Wanting to stop FOM from the EU is racist etc
Surely ‘I want to stop those Poles cos there’s too many of them” is racist, whereas I want to stop those Polish plumbers because they’re undercutting me’ isn’t. Or is it?

I wouldn't say discriminating against someone of the same race is racist even if it is unpleasant. Farage once accused Scottish people of racism against the English, which I wouldn't say is possible on a wide scale. Xenophobic, maybe, although with EU immigration it is more economic reality (for poorer people) I would say.

I don't know why but it reminds me of this...
Apparently, following his last onscreen appearance in Revenge of the Sith Jar Jar was shunned and ostracised by his own people, with his role in expanding the war powers of Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmuid) correctly seen as paving the way for the Empire (see video below)
Presumably thrown out of politics (he was, slightly improbably, a senator last time we saw him) Jar Jar is now reduced to performing as a clown for children on his home planet, while adults continue to shun him.

Indeed - even if he believes, even if he is right, that what he said initially was indeed ok, it never seems to occur to idiots like him that such a furore can only keep going because of the boneheaded behaviour of the person at the centre. Manufactured outrage has a shelf life, idiots like Ken douse themselves in petrol, set a match and then object to people roasting marshmellows on him.

Neil Hamilton is all that is leaving UKIP with any respectability.
Based on a brief perusal, the Kippers are standing in 9 divisions as opposed to 27 last time. Only one uncontested division as opposed to about a half dozen last time but aaaaagggghhhhh - It's mine where the Tory incumbent is unopposed. No election for me.
Suspect there will be relatively few changes as Tories dominate anyway. Among the more interesting Divisions to watch will be Bayston Hill etc., which elects 3, all Labour at the last election. I expect the LD's will pick up a couple elsewhere in South Shropshire.
The Greens have put up an excellent slate, perhaps buoyed by picking up an Oswestry Division following the resignation in disgrace last year of Tory Leader Keith Barrow. Be good to see if they can build on that.
Generally, it looks to me like there may have been some low level unofficial co-operation between LD and Lab in Shrewsbury Divisions over who stands where.

@WikiGuido: Rumours that Mark Reckless is about to quit UKIP. He is not answering phone or replying to texts and UKIP HQ cannot get hold of him either.
Please Dear Allah, don't let Mark Reckless rejoin the Tories.
I can't say the word c**t but Mark Reckless is a f**king c**t who deserves a hot poker up his arse.
Don't hold back. Tell us what you really think.

Q: 'What's the difference between Mark Reckless & Judas Iscariot?'
A: Judas had the decency to hang himself after his betrayal
He’s been banished to Wales for Christ sake, have some pity for the old toss pot…
The fucker should be banished to the Islamic State.

Like Caesar became a byword for Emperor, Reckless will become a byword for Traitorous sub-human vile cretins who stab people in the front.
I'm going to log off now because I know I'm going to use the sort of language about Mark Reckless that Mike bans people for,
In fact I was wrong to call Mark Reckless a c**t, as he has neither the warmth or the depth.
Yes, dear, you go off and have a nice lie down in a darkened room. Perhaps bathe your temples with eau de cologne as well. You never know, when you wake up you might have turned back into that witty, well-informed poster that used to be such a credit to this site.

Of course if Judas hadn't betrayed Christ he would never have been crucified and his deity would never have been demonstrated ... apparently
Perhaps when Theresa May welcomes him back she can deliver a message about the meaning of Easter.

Anyone know why when we see the Euro parliament on TV Britain always appears to be represented by Farage? There must be Tory and Labour MEPs around somewhere.
Is this just an editorial decision by the British TV stations to add a bit of spice? It's hugely embarrassing implying to those in the EU who watch our TV that this grotesque represents anyone other than himself.

He's a complete embarrassment. And yes, our TV stations seem to like giving him the Oxygen of publicity.
Regarding the transitional arrangement for EU citizens:
Labour's Brexit spokesman, Paul Blomfield, said: "It is less than a week since the prime minister triggered Article 50, and it seems every day brings another broken promise."

It's still part of the Remain mindset that lost them the Referendum. "Let's just laugh at the twat....thank God he is such a marginal figure, nobody in their right minds could ever share....oh...shit...."

Boxoffice. Star quality. Farage is incomparably the most famous MEP. As an adman you must recognize this.

Plus if you want a quote from a senior Tory, Labour or Lib Dem you go to Westminster. Want a quote from a senior Kipper then go to the European Parliament which means Farage.
Why show Hannan speaking in the European Parliament for the Tory line when you can show May, Boris or Davis etc?

I thought Starmer was the Brexit spokesman?
Starmer is Shadow Brexit Secretary. Surely the spokesman works for him?

a) He's the only one anyone will have heard of..
Which tells us what a faux parliament it is. How many people could actually name their MEP?

MEPs - they'll have many for their region of course.
I tested myself and I got 3 out of 6, not bad at all. But in my job I have cause to check out the names now and again.

Interesting. I wonder how it's the fault of Westminster/Brexit/English Tories this time?
It's boringly predictable and is known as the Quebec Effect. The SNP isn't working, in fact, it's driving economic activity out of Scotland into England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Farage can be quite funny...
If you watch Euronews they are not selective and the conservatives do contribute. Indeed the conservative leader Syed Kamall chose out of respect not to contribute and his fellow MEPs were grateful. I heard Farage today and he was good but winds them all up to the point it is not a positive for Brexit.
I believe the narrative has moved on from the extremes be it Farage or died in the wool remainers .

CliffNotes:- Biggest cheating scandal in online poker history, the software platform was written by the people who setup Iovation and the scandal involved "super users" in the company spying on players to see their cards and steal their money.
The result of the EU referendum is more complicated to deal with because it set a new course against previous government policy. Again I think I'd be against a second referendum unless there was a genuine choice on the table and the government didn't think parliament would give enough legitimacy to their preferred option. The problem is that if it all goes wrong then there may be little choice.
Now what was Jezza saying about the media yesterday...
Given the long history of abusive and hateful language used about Jews over centuries it behoves intelligent and decent people to be careful about not using the sort of language which has, as we know all too well, been used to engender a climate in which the most appalling action could be taken against Jews. And we should realize that there are - sadly - too many people out there who do use such language and other weaselly euphemisms precisely because they do want to engender such hate and do not accept either the right of Israel to exist or, in some cases, the right of Jews to exist.
Dehumanising people is the first step to .... well, we know exactly what it can - and has in recent memory in our continent - led to. It is beyond sad that it should need saying in this day and age when discussing a party which once used to stand against fascists and anti-semites and violent cults.

Apparently, following his last onscreen appearance in Revenge of the Sith Jar Jar was shunned and ostracised by his own people, with his role in expanding the war powers of Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmuid) correctly seen as paving the way for the Empire (see video below)
Presumably thrown out of politics (he was, slightly improbably, a senator last time we saw him) Jar Jar is now reduced to performing as a clown for children on his home planet, while adults continue to shun him.

Based on a brief perusal, the Kippers are standing in 9 divisions as opposed to 27 last time. Only one uncontested division as opposed to about a half dozen last time but aaaaagggghhhhh - It's mine where the Tory incumbent is unopposed. No election for me.
Suspect there will be relatively few changes as Tories dominate anyway. Among the more interesting Divisions to watch will be Bayston Hill etc., which elects 3, all Labour at the last election. I expect the LD's will pick up a couple elsewhere in South Shropshire.
The Greens have put up an excellent slate, perhaps buoyed by picking up an Oswestry Division following the resignation in disgrace last year of Tory Leader Keith Barrow. Be good to see if they can build on that.
Generally, it looks to me like there may have been some low level unofficial co-operation between LD and Lab in Shrewsbury Divisions over who stands where.
Of course if Judas hadn't betrayed Christ he would never have been crucified and his deity would never have been demonstrated ... apparently
