Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s Minister, doesn’t care for the Brexit vote, so she’s vowed to find a way to make like it never happened. This is the new era of governance – irrespective of the votes, keep at it until you get what you want. Perhaps a sit-in is next?
Scotland just had a referendum where the people voted to remain in the UK. Now the UK has voted to exit the EU. So now Scotland is planning another referendum vote on leaving the UK and remaining in the EU.
Let’s have an exit vote of our own. How about Mexico exit The United States?
Nicola Sturgeon vows to find a way to keep Scotland IN the EU after Brexit vote, pledging talks in Brussels and ANOTHER referendum
- Scottish government cabinet meeting due to be held in Edinburgh
- Scotland voted Remain while most of the rest of the UK voted for Leave
- Sturgeon has signalled she now wants to hold a second independence poll
- The SNP lost the first referendum in 2014 by 55-45 but claim the Brexit vote on Thursday will transform the political landscape in Scotland
Morons. A whole generation of morons.
Oh, goody! A do-over!. Maybe we could do that here in Canada.

“Nicola Sturgeon”
Sounds like an electric fish.
Or a good name for a band.
Sturgeon, that’s a doctor who cutta you open whenna you sick.
Why shouldn’t Scotland have the option to split from England?
A page from barry’s playbook.
Just like Unions.
If the outcome isn’t what you wanted…..for the next 6 months cajole, threaten, arm twist, have work slow downs, coordinated sick days, employ media propaganda and call for another vote.
If that doesn’t work, do it again and again until you get what you want or the company goes out of business or moves to Mexico.
Dougla Wakeman : I think I’m remembering that Scotland did have that option, very recently, and they chose to stick with Britain where their welfare is generated, dont-cha know. Northern Ireland likewise votes for Nanny government.
Go ahead and split from Britain. You’ll be able to stay in the EU. Just keep your gobs shut, when they make you the dumping ground for refugees. You know that’s what will happen. The EU will do it as payback against Britain, forcing them to secure thier border.
The English, Welsh and N. Irish should vote to exit the UK instead.
What Would William Wallace Do?
Overbearing, narrow-minded and clueless politicians like Sturgeon are one of the reasons the UK approved BREXIT. Also, whether or not Scotland is a member of the EU would have little to no effect on Scotland – to benefit Scotland, England needs to be in the EU, and England already voted “no.”
This is totally laughable.
Scotland has become a leftist-infested welfare state – kind of like Maryland or Rhode Island – which depends on the largess from the rest of the UK taxpayers.
So, let ’em leave. They will replace Portugal and Greece as the new never-was, failed nanny state wholly devoid of funds.
Eff ’em. Leave.
Let them. Scotland is an incredible drag on England sponging up millions in welfare payments for their basically lazy population. Hey, Scots! Sean Connery can’t support all of you, in fact after a year or two of Scottish independence when the money is running out and nobody will lend them the cash I’d bet Connery would high tail his ass out to England. If the Scots left almost overnight England would become a conservative country and finally have control over it’s own destiny once more.
So it looks like the Scots and N. Irish are nothing more than the counterparts of our own ghetto rats and wetbacks. The gravy train is stopping, and now they want to jump to the train that’s still moving. Fucking losers.
If France and Germany leave the EU, too, there’s nothing left but parasites.
England would do well to cut Scotland loose. Let it join the simpering pack of maggots eating German good-will. We know from History that Germany never expects anything in exchange for its largesse …
izlamo delenda est …
We keep voting to expel Mexico and the crazy fool in the White Hut keep’s overturning the vote (with yuge help from our so-called Republican friends)!
FORMER BLAIR ADVISOR PUSHES ‘SECOND REFERENDUM’ TO SABOTAGE BREXIT VOTE
Exactly as predicted, globalists try to annul the democratic choice of the British people

If Scotland splits and becomes the dumping ground for refugees you will see Hadrian’s Wall being restored

There you go,
That should fix it
Britain Leaves EU: THE SKY IS FALLING!
They predicted it if the Brexit vote succeeded and, for a moment I panicked. On my morning walk today, I noticed I was breathing that same stuff that I see surrounding the clouds. Maybe they were right and the sky had really fallen. Maybe the end was near.
After a little recovery I realized that it was just the same stuff that I had been breathing for the last 59+ years: air. So, much to my relief, the sky is still pretty much in the same place as it had been last week.
But the Dow did shed about 3.5% of its value yesterday, which must mean that all of those greedy capitalist stockholders (such as teacher pension funds, etc.) pulled 1/285th of their stock certificates out of the vault and burned them. Or maybe all of the businesses blew up a similar proportion of their factories. All this because the British people decided that they didn’t want to be governed by the European Commission any more. (At least, for once, it wasn’t due to global warming!)
Actually, what happened was that those who had stocks sold them and those who didn’t bought them. Believe it or not, but there were just as many shares of stock after the Brexit vote as there were before it. The buyers didn’t burn the proceeds from the sales, but instead they put them into low risk highly liquid equities, where they will stay until these same people decide that it’s a good idea to buy again. The nervous nellies (as the late Louis Rukeyser loved to label them) followed suit, pushing the market down further. Once it bottoms out, those in the know will move their low-risk money back into stocks and the market will go back up. It happens all of the time.
But maybe it won’t. If you listen to the 48% of financial experts that the media has chosen to interview, the Brexit will be an un-recoverable calamity. However, to understand this figure properly, you first need to understand the nature of stock market prognosticators. The very best stock market predictors are the active traders in the stock exchanges. They have teams of economists working for them and they use the latest analysis software – all to predict the future of the specific stocks in which they trade. And in every single transaction, one of them gets it right (i.e. the buyer of the rising stock or the seller of the falling stock) and the other gets it wrong. So in other words, either 50% of all stock market experts get it wrong all of the time, or all of the experts get it wrong 50% of the time, or something in between. Nonetheless, 50% of all stock trades result in regret. Think about it: the 48% of the experts warning us of a Brexit disaster are of a class of experts who get it wrong 50% of the time! Who would fly on a plane designed by engineers who got it wrong 50% of the time? Maybe the sky will only lower in elevation only by about 50%.
But, you might say, “The value of the British Pound has fallen as a result of the Brexit.” Well, it dropped from $1.45 per GBP to about $1.37 per GBP overnight as a result of the news. So you might be on to something. If current trends continue, it should be trading at $0 by then end of next month and next year they’ll pay us to take them off their hands. However, the Pound was trading at $2.35 in 1974, the year before Britain joined the EU, so it still has a lot of making up to do before we can blame an exchange rate catastrophe on the Brexit.
And the lower Pound is not such a bad thing. For the Brits, it means that their goods and services become more affordable to the rest of the world, which will result in an increase in exports – even to Europe. (Do you really think that the French, the Germans or the Italians are going to pass up a bargain out of spite?) This will result in an increased number of people employed in Britain, which will increase British tax revenues, which will pay for all of those social services that they have to provide for the influx of migrants.
It’s also a great deal for American tourists to Britain. Just think, the average price of a pint went down by about 7%. In other words, for every 14 pints you drink, you get the 15th one free – and you don’t even have to get numbers punched out of a dog-eared loyalty card to get it! (For you teetotalers, the same analysis applies to bangers and mash.) Now all you have to do is find the time to get over there.
Anyone who follows the stock and currency markets knows that long term trends in the markets rarely have anything to do with a single event. Britain had a healthy economy before it entered the EU and it will have a healthy economy once it leaves. It will all really depend on the world-wide demand for goods and services and Britain’s ability to fulfill that demand.
The same cannot be said for the EU, since Greece is still a member and the Greeks are still treating the Euro as though it comes from a Monopoly set. If Greece defaults on its sovereign debt, then Spain will be left holding the bag, and Italy will follow suit.
At any rate, the Brexit vote will not start the end of the Western economy. Britain will survive. We will survive. The EU might not, but its prospects were dim any way.
And if you find yourself concerned at inhaling that stuff from the clouds during your next sojourn in the great outdoors, don’t worry: it’s just air. The sky really is not falling.
there are a lot of new commenters here since I came in a few years ago but BPatman just convinced me that not all people are smart=they go on and on but never get to the point but only express their own thoughts and insane ramblings. I like a good comment and expression but ramblings piss me off. have a good day. 🙂
