    Before you couched the question in only language you could think up, perhaps you should have done a bit of research. I'm not going to do it for you, but the call for another Scottish Referendum is not based on the callings of the loud minority. If you're that interested, and I suspect you aren't, go read up for yourself and be stunned. If you're not gobsmacked, you haven't researched it properly.

    Suggest you read again,you've got it all mixed up or are just trying to avoid answering the question.

    How about the UK with-holds all payments to the EU until the Brexit business is decided? I imagine they would want to see a quick settlement then.

    <yikes> wouldn't go that far, but I would stand side by side with the Wallies and smash the filth, politicians and the elites

    Never liked this maid much in the past, but she sure tells it well here. With reference to your comment, Forza, no she isn't a trannie, but if she were to walk into a pub I.m pretty sure I could hear the barman say "why the long face?"

    I've read your wandering 'question' again. It was painful.

    Perhaps you should re-write it into a conventional structure if you're not eliciting the reply you require. I also draw your attention to the Scottish Referendum part of your 'question', which I answered, albeit clearly not to your satisfaction as you have to do some donkey work yourself.

    I thought I had, but you clearly either haven't got the answer you expected. Perhaps, as I suggested, if you framed the question in a more understandable format, or asked someone to translate for you, I might be able to do that. Not kidding, btw, genuine answer. You've bamboozled me! :)

    The question you are avoiding is,If Scotland had voted yes for independence is it ok not to give it them and have another vote instead.

    Thanks for another attempt, but I'm still struggling to understand it. Guess I'm too tired, so going to bed. Just realised the man & van is here in 4 hours for phase 1 of our house move. Oops!

    Had one more stab & got it! :)

    Answer is yes, if there was sufficient groundswell. And currently there is a groundswell in Scotland, for exactly the opposite situation to that which you posit.

    Does that answer your question this time? Will find out later .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz time

    I think I understand the question LCW.
    I’m not Scottish, so I can’t speak for them, or get aroused by watching Braveheart or pictures of Nicola Sturgeon, so I am devoid of any nationalist sentiment when posting this, but I would guess that the answer might be yes, once the true shape of Scottish independence was known. For example, once their membership (or not) of the EU was understood.
    Theirs was a simple ‘in-out’ question and they answered ‘in’, so it was not complicated and everything returned to normal - like it would have been if Remain had won.
    Had they voted ‘out’ then it would be down to the SNP to broker a deal with the rest of the UK and the EU too - which they may not have been able to do (it would have been more complicated than Brexit, as it would involve negotiating 2 divorces at once) and as businesses and jobs started their exodus, and the real possibility of a ‘hard’ border started to appear on Hadrian’s wall, some of those supporters of independence may begin to change their mind, as it begins to look far more complicated than the fairytale that Salmond and Sturgeon sold them.
    Had that been the case, then yes, the Scots would probably appreciate a second ‘endorsement’ vote which would consist of 3 options; remain in the UK, Salmond and Sturgeon’s deal for independence, or a ‘hard’ no-deal independence - that is, of course if London allowed the first option to be considered!!!

    I haven’t blocked anyone so I don’t know why I’m being called names.
