Given the extreme right wing government now, don't be surprised if we see some kind of new "problems" emerging in the Falklands or somewhere. Feels as far away as ever to me. Not sensing any seismic shift to yes needed. Hope I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to feel bad for those guys because they feel the same as us about this situation but have no way out.

Aye, we need to get out before Boris and Clinton start bombing Russia. Angus Robertson sounds like he is up for another referendum soon.

The sad thing is, many of the view expressed by the (obvious) plants in the audience and some of the panel members IRO Scotland are shared wholeheartedly by a lot of people up here.

Hope I'm wrong I must admit, I haven't noticed a huge 'awakening' amongst people I know who voted No last time either. The polls don't seem to be indicate much of change either. Then again, would the shift have to be seismic? Assuming the Yes vote remains solid all we'd need is for a few hundred thousand to switch from No to Yes and we'd be home and dry.

We shouldn't forget that about 25% of YES voters also voted to leave the EU. For them it would come down to which Union they dislike the most.

The biggest determining factor will be the state that the UK economy is in The arse falling out the pound does arguably help exports in the very short term (as the Tories and MSM emphasise) but they fail to mention the cost of imports starts to rise - and fast. There is no getting away from it that the country and everyone in it is poorer Once inflation kicks in and prices start to rise then a few lightbulbs may be switched on in the heads of many people It's not as if everyone is going to be given a pay rise to compensate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Havent watched QT for several weeks, find it infuriating now. Probably wont watch it again. However, I did read about it on the Daily Mail website, quite a sad indictment of what the UK has become. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3858722/Polish-woman-BOOED-Question-Time-audience-saying-no-longer-feels-welcome-UK-Brexit-vote.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Tomorrow night's panel from Stirling. Kwasi Kwarteng, Chris Bryant, John Nicholson, Cat Boyd, Merryn Somerset Webb. Interesting that Neither Labour or the Tories put up Scottish panellists, probably wanting to keep their heads down. Expect no prisoners to be taken by Cat Boyd.

Ally Bongo Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Merryn Somerset Webb is only there to repeat ad nauseum that Scotland cant afford to be Independent unless there are massive cuts, tax rises and everyone made skint .. Another Unionists mantra just now is that the RUK is Scotland's biggest trading partner suggesting that if we remain in the EU we will not have a trade deal with RUK - unlike Ireland ... Both of these have to be nailed down - i would have preferred Ivan McKee was on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
