Teresa May is rejecting the call for a Scottish independence referendum till after Brexit.

I would be angry but she is only strengthening belief that Westminster doesn't listen to us.

You do realise that if you leave the UK, you'll leave the EU anyway? And that the EU won't accept you as members? Spain and Belgium for two will veto it, even if you met membership criteria, which you don't.

I will say that you've argued well even though you're completely wrong. Hopefully we can end this on a nice note now as I don't want this to take up more of my day 😂.

@thatscottishguy: unfortunately the people running these things are politicians and are only out for themselves dont believe any of them

@angie8819: It was clear from day one that the all the promises the UK (read English) government made to the Scots were empty.

@Lynda70: yep i know but politicians will promise you anything to get you to vote for them

She is committing political sucuide by announcing brexit n article 50,but the empire that was never listened to colonial voices,just look back at British history,India,Sudan,Iran,Iraq,Canada,Australia,etc,Northern Ireland,the British government can't afford to give independence too Scotland no more than the Irish will get their country united,its all about money n resources not civic or national pride nor cultural heritage..but one thing is certain hard times are coming for the British government n it's people..the European Parliament and the 27 Eu member states will c to that

I did say I thought she might do this. Possibly as big an error as Cameron calling a Brexit referendum. It can only boost the support independence.

@thatscottishguy: Quite a few English people support the Scots' right to self-determination. We're also envious of your right to your free health care (no prescription tax) and free education. You don't have the "bedroom tax" either do you?
thatscottishguy · 26-30, M
No the Scottish government deals with the bedroom tax. I know there are plenty but right now it's hard to see past the other lot.

Who do you listen to? And she's called Theresa.
thatscottishguy · 26-30, M
That's why this is a stupid argument. I argue politics not English.
MartinII · 70-79, M
@thatscottishguy: I'm sorry to bang on, but you make a false distinction. If you make false or unsubstantiated claims, albeit unintentionally, through inaccurate use of language, you undermine your own arguments. Not just you personally I mean, anyone.

Cheers.

You must be a lot of fun.

We need to stop Scotland from taking back control. 😉

Greedy "noblemen" sold us.

@thatscottishguy: and the kilt question?
thatscottishguy · 26-30, M
We will continue to only wear them for special occasions. I know a guy who wears one everyday but he's actually English.
Lynda70 · F
She should support a call for Scotish independence. Isn't Brexit all about independence and countries controlling their own borders?
thatscottishguy · 26-30, M
The hypocrisy is baffling.
Lynda70 · F
@thatscottishguy: That's what I don't understand. The politicans tell the Scots "we're better off together" then tell the rest of Europe "we're better off apart".

May doesn't want the scots to leave the proverbial brexit sinking ship.
the UK goes down together.
thatscottishguy · 26-30, M
She doesn't want the referendum because she knows she could lose. By the time the referendum would happen the Brexit terms should already be sorted.
