    I like 29% a lot. Sounds awfully like 71% in favour.

    No it doesn't actually when you take into account those that are undecided and those that wouldn't vote.

    Anyway, I was meaning that the gap is very small now between Le Pen and Macaroni for the upcoming 2022 election. I don't totally believe opinion polls (they've been wrong before and they'll be wrong again) but you cannot argue that there is a rising trend.

    If you read the French newspapers, I have, over the last week you would realise that. I have and it's fair to say this.

    We've recently redeployed the fairly new Exhibition Centre for mass vaccinations.

    What happens in the French presidential election is that the vote fragments in the first round. In the second it all coalesces. Around stopping the NF

    I'm not sure whether you are being serious, but yes, I spend a fair bit of the year there and my partner, although she is British, has lived there since the late eighties and takes an interest in politics. So I do tend to get to know a bit about French politics.

    The Jockites on twitter are poo-pooing it because it was carried out by a Nigel University.

    Good luck to the new country, starting out without a Central Bank, piggy-backing on another country's currency, and taking its share of the biggest national debt in history, as the world closes its borders due to variants of a virus.

    One of the main protagonists of the new Independence push reckons Jockland needs more unemployed and on benefits to push independence over the line. These ****s are absolutely deranged.

    Our main hospital is the massive St. George's at Tooting. The Nelson is a small but modern outpatients hospital which is very well run.

    They do know that trade with the rest of the UK is a two way thing right! If trade restrictions are put in place it would see the English shrink as well so why would both countries cut their nose of to spite their face?

    The UK and Ireland had up until the 1st of January this year a free trading zone for decades. Well before the EU was born.

    Right now the treasury tax and duty takings have been hit by a 500 million pound spanking due to the US tariffs on Scotch. That tax and duty doesn't appear on Scotland's balance sheet because it is exported from English ports. In independent Scotland that money and much much more would stay in Scotland. Plus we wouldn't be chipping in for HS2 and Crossrail and billions of pounds worth of government contracts going to tory cronies or fùcking useless nuclear weapons.

    It's not a question of can Scotland afford to be independent. It's can it afford not to be.

    We'll be fine. Just like every other independent nation in the world.

    Hope this helps.
