There are a lotta 'ifs' in that last thread and I don't believe many of these RW possibilities will be fulfilled anyway, unlike what has unfortunately happened in the USA and here in the UK. Lets wait n see eh! As regards Scots poss reading RW propaganda 'rags' like the Daily Mail, I think there is a simple explanation. Many Scots peruse the consistent RW drivel in the newspaper racks while shopping at supermarkets or travelling through railway stations etc and arrive at their own critical conclusions! I doubt that many Scots actually buy these biased 'rags'

Have a 2nd referendum then but you won't get any funding or subsidies from Westminister if you leave as you will be independent.

I'd like to have a referendum but your government seem hellbent on not allowing it to happen. I wonder why when they would save on all those subsidies and funding ?

There should have been a Scottish oil fund set up years ago for starters and there are other shortcomings that UK govts have conveniently omitted from Scotland's wealth pattern but they were always happy to take the oil revenues as a UK partner huhhhh!!! Shameless b####### comes to mind and I won't even mention the list of broken promises from a bunch of contemptuous c#### who have no great regard for Scotland or the Scottish people!!! I notice that Tony Blair, not my most favourite selfish ex PM and public figure, has 'joined the fray' and noted that Scot Indy has suddenly become more plausible than before!

I didn't vote for them.

And Ecky initiates a Trump style attack against the 'yoon media'! The Telegraph must be high up on that target list with it's pro union mentality! Noticeable that the Scottish gov dismissed the suggestion that there is a 'yoon media' but they still need the media to be involved in their politics. I'd say Ecky is merely 'playing to the galleries' and this is not his first incursion! His more extreme opponents called SNP members 'nats'. So why not call some of the worst pro union zealots 'yoons'? Touche with the denigration.

And the rhetoric is gradually being 'ramped up' as Scotland moves to an inevitable Scot indy referendum again. Cruella 'spouting off' her pro Union ethic and unsurprisingly mounting an attack on the SNP! I find her use of the usual 'once in a generation vote for separation' and the Scot gov should 'get on with the day job' as extremely tiresome and regularly used by our anti indy opponents who are indeed fearful that a referendum will be inevitably resurrected mainly because of THEM!!!!!! What a fitting and succinct response from the SNP's spokesman, Angus Robertson - how ironic and hypocritical coming from the leader of a Tory party that has been obsessed with the status of EU membership for decades and has played a big part in setting up the latest brexit fiasco and the damaging financial consequences and other effects that will ensue in the years ahead! Cruella keeps referring to the 'Great' description of Britain - a f###### 'talker' and dreamer and I'll just highlight the disunited kingdom that we live in and a divisive Tory gov that millions n millions of people in this country have no time for whatsoever!! The c#### inadvertently caused the whole brexit fiasco and couldn't even get that right!!!

I xxxx loathe that woman. If Scotland was really the economic basket case they tories portray we would have been gone a long time ago. The tories only care about what makes money.

Without Scotland the UK is economically and literally done for. They know it.
