Is it though? A recent poll suggested otherwise and if that's the SNPs long term plan then it could backfire. Taken from this recent article.

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/...is-fading-away

"A new poll shows that only one-third of Scots want a referendum on independence to take place within the next two years. And while only a slim majority (51 per cent) support holding Britain together, the poll also found that only one-third of Scots believe it would be wrong for the UK Supreme Court to decide whether a referendum can take place.

Constitutional powers being decided at the UK level is, it turns out, absolutely fine with most Scots. That matters, because the Supreme Court could be the crucial institution that decides whether a poll can take place (that is, if law officers at Holyrood even let it get that far)."

Chuck in something about only first votes counting, before claiming the FM is "squealing" about a lack of cash from your pals in Westminster.

Spending taxpayers money is her day job. 🌞

You've shoehorned a swipe about the FM squealing though, so you'll be a happy chappy.

Spending tax payers money on things that are illegal are not job, day or night .

I don’t think I’ve posted anything complimentary about Boris Johnson on this or any other site.

But you just go on making things up, if it makes you feel better.

I get that sort of chat all the time. Best ignored really, they have no interest in discussing things with you, just point-scoring.

Do you have the advice that she's done something illegal. Please share, as I'd like to see it. 😂👀

I suppose if you can't provide that evidence, then you'd be accused of the thread title. ⚡

I'll point out here that I've not indulged in "Boris loving" whatever but have called greenginger out on an actual item he has posted but it is him that has ignored it.

Do you have an issue with foreign workers coming to the UK? When it seems plain from the experience of the last year that we needed them?

I have no issues whatsoever , but a lot of people did, hence the vote by those individuals.

Oh I'm sorry, did I conflate support of Johnson's right wing policies with support of the man himself? How remiss of me. Let's imagine instead of saying "beloved Johnson" I said "beloved right wing policies". Is that better?

And do you think it's ok that if a lot of people are racist, as long as they're in the majority, then it's ok to follow racist policies? Is that your view of what democracy should be? Do you have no concept about how we should be treating other people, about whether we should be better than we are?

Holding a referendum may be illegal, in your opinion, but it wouldn't be unlawful

We agree for a change :-)

If boris is ever asked the question, my view is that he should agree. That gets around the anti democracy claim.

He should then get on the front foot to set the terms of the referendum while also ensuring the case for the union is made and the case for independence exposed. I am pretty confident that Scotland would choose to remain in the UK, but accept that if we don’t then so be it.

I suspect though we will be in a never ending stand off as sturgeon doesn’t have the confidence she will win a referendum and boris or whoever is in charge doesn’t need to do anything.

I could have the wrong poster but weren’t you complaining/slagging the first minister for not calling a referendum quick enough, and questioning what could possibly be holding it up, only a few days ago?

The EU said No, and Cameron came back empty handed

I thought at the time, that EU might just have tipped the balance of the vote.

Utter madey up garbage.

My opinion is that it was a lot simpler than that - racist people tipped the balance.

That and all the lies.

I know you won’t believe it but I have a more open mind than I had in 2014. Granted though I am probably as likely to change my mind as you are. I would like the case to be published so we can assess what the detailed plans are.
