    Sturgeon says that Scotland will veto UK leaving EU

    Error by Sturgeon
    Did she really. Hilarious.
    No it turns out she didn't. The old truism of 'Never trust the headline' holds once again

    "Not all the people who voted Leave are racist but all racists voted Leave." Sadly so true.

    Not all people who voted Remain are Britain-hating Quisling French-cheese eating surrender monkeys, but all Britain hating Quisling French-cheese eating surrender monkeys voted Remain.

    Now can we just stop with this inane meme? This place is better than that.

    The UK, soon to be late UK, is definitely going nuts. It would be nice if we could take a few years out from the world to sort ourselves out, but we don't have time. So I hope we are only temporarily nuts - I will be very embarrassed in 6-12 months if I have to apologise to Mr Meeks and say he was right.

    Oh cheer up ffs! Aston Martin are building a new factory in Wales, Bloomberg and Morgan Stanley aren't leaving, Sturgeon has been refused Scotland's continued EU membership without re-applying, and some people are making utter tits of themselves with a democratic petition to overturn a democratic referendum! I am sure the forces of IN aren't going to go quietly, but fate is not on their side. We didn't snag a truly miraculous win for nothing.
    I've been out and about in "The Shires" this morning and everyone seems perfectly calm and happy.

    The Bubble may be in meltdown but life goes on...
    Afternoon GIN, you have to laugh at these Metropolitan panic merchants, they pretend they are smart and fund the whole of the UK but yet they are like headless chickens before anything whatsoever has happened, high time their pathetic bubble was well and truly burst.
    Well we dont all live in a wee scottish pub and spend our lives telling talking about how 'wibbly wobbly' londoners are. Some of us live in a proper place in a proper country with proper jobs and lives which will be affected by a brexit recession. We dont need some sweater doting Monarch of the Glen preaching to us all from the nice detached house in their middle class quaint flag waving village

    I have to profoundly disagree with that. I have an ethnically Asian friend who had a girlfriend from a different part of Asia ethnically speaking. It's fair to say that her parents were totally dismissive of him on grounds of race - something he was very bitter about. She's now married to someone from the same part of Asia. I suspect there are many people like that. Would they ALL have voted out? Of course not.
    You did not answer Murali's point. All Leavers are not racists.But all racists are Leavers.
    I know two racists who voted Remain, but take that as the unprovable anecdote it is.

    Boris is the only option for the Tories. He is he only one capable of winning a majority in an early election which looks inevitable.

    He did a good, steady job in London. Can`t see why he won`t repeat it for the UK.

    Regarding Labour, I don`t think they will do well in an early election, whoever the leader is.

    I am surprised that you did not bother t look at original interview with the excruciating know-all Gorden Brewer. Sturgeon said that the Scots would withhold legislative consent from Brexit affecting Scots law. Of course they will but that is not a veto . The can be overruled by their masters n Westmnster under clause 28 of the Scotland Act. So the poor we lambs can still overrule Scotland just don't expect the Scots to make it easy. Why should we?
