New Labour started the Breakup of the UK

[junos_boots]

The thing is Juno - The Scottish Borders and the Shetland islands will want an independence vote from Scotland - because they don't want to leave the UK

So the SNP can't claim that Brexit pulled Scotland out of Europe 'against their will', without giving regions of Scotland the same choice about leaving the UK

Shetland Islands vote to explore independence from Scotland

The council argued that funding cuts to the island, alongside centralised decision-making, are reasons to look into independence.

This is fair enough but it shows why Johnson's mantra of taking back control was utter rubbish though as you can't then decide yourself who deserves control. It is the same in Scotland I agree with you.

Its all about people who want to be the boss and that is their aim really in my book. They don't worry about consequences.

Weird how we want to take back control but stop Scotland doing the same thing at any cost.

I may well move with you CM. Born in Edinburgh, it's a lovely place.

Will you smuggle me in please? I'll hide in your suitcase.

Just remember that it was 1.6 million remain v 1 million leave votes in Scotland for the Brexit Ref

So if Scotland left the UK around 40% of the population would be anti-EU ..... that's a huge anti-EU movement if they ever rejoined

Not according to those who think 52-48 is a huge majority.

Did all that 1m want no customs union, no single market, no 350m for the NHS and did they want BJ running it all?
As none of that was outlined pre-referendum, with any sort of majority, but the "best/ easiest deal ever" was.
No CU and no SM was what about 20% of leavers wanted, and that was back then, and since, some have woken up to reality, finally.

How many of that 1m were delusional English morons, living up there with no idea that it would affect them, like the clowns that voted Brexit, who live in Spain.

Slugs for salt.

In 1979 there was a Scottish referendum on whether there should be a devolved parliament.

51.6% voted YES
48.4% voted NO

As the 61% turnout meant that only 32.9% of registered voters supported it, it didn't happen. (The referendum set a minimum of 40% along with a majority to carry the day.)

That would have been a good model for a major political referendum such as Brexit.
