Just what have the Brexit negotiation team been doing for the last 7 months? They were supposed to be developing a strategy to take to the table. You really get the impression this government are totally clueless when on how to deal with Brexit. This is nothing short of a massive bluff and it is called by the other 27 countries then the May is up shit creak,

I see Angus Robertson has stated (on twitter I think) that forcing a hard brexit on Scotland is "unacceptable".  I think a lot of waverers will agree with him and if this is confirmed it will lead to rising support for indy.  What sort of spineless individual would stand for their nation being forced into a hard brexit against our wishes and not say "enough is enough"?

I'm a proud scot but:"  why would we want to leave our largest trading partner "," what  currency will we use "," I don't like that sturgeon, she doesn't have kids what would she know ",  we'd have to use the euro", "oil won't last for ever, then what "," I don't want to live in a one party state "

 

Etc etc

"Like a mortar bomb crashing into a building infested with dry rot, the EU referendum has torn great holes in the structure...of the increasingly rickety union state."

Thats for sure, be interesting to see how low it goes 

Good for the fishing industry though as all those exports to Europe will be a lot cheaper.  That is until the tariffs kick in to hike the price up and then the price the fishermen get drops as the processors costs go up as they can no longer get East Europeans in to work for 50p an hour.

Aye theres truth in what yer saying,, prices have been brilliant since brexit,, solid as a rock,,,, however theres is a very realistic chance the industry will take a battering post brexit,, especially if the status quo(cfp) is kept in exchange for deals for other industries while there are tariffs on exports,,,, the norgies will be praying for this to happen,,,uncertain times thats for sure,,,, but they think the streets will be paved in gold,,,if you want to see the mentality of a lot of the skippers go on the face book page,,, fishing onwards to brexit,,,, nutters

Ok then - how about this, from this afternoon

Sturgeon is wrong to think May will listen to her on Brexit

(there may be apparent paywall issues but I got in by just answering a survey question - try googling the headline)

From the comments, it's claimed the author is connected to Scotland in Union.

He has clearly missed the irony of moving to a country of 5m, shed loads of sheep, gained independence from the UK, used the pound until it set up it's own currency, and is currently led bt the New Zealand National Party https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_National_Party
