My posts are entirely my personal opinions.
To that end I see no conflict in Scotland choosing to be in the EU and the UK.
Certainly there will be border control issues, at least until the English relinquish their love of aspiring fascist dictators and tax evasion.

I didn't say I wanted Scotland to leave the UK. I want Scotland to be free to choose its own associations. I'm sick to death of being forced into doing whatever England decides.

All of those aspirations were better served while we were in the EU and had the economy and resources to support them.
I have calculated that the value of our money has fallen by c. 30% since before the EU Referendum.
We have to stop the rot and be truthful about the damage committed by the liars.

#Brexit did that. If that is really your concern then you should be fighting with every breath to rejoin the EU. #Brexit has made the UK utterly vulnerable.

Nonsense! I struggle to understand how you can be so pusillanimous. Scotland is quite different from England. We are much more socially aware and engaged. In England, fascists like Farage are revered by people he despises. Scots are infinitely more European than the English.

More, I wonder how Alex will feel if the English force Farage upon us as the UK Prime Minister.
This is NOT a union of equal nations and we know who are the liars.
#Brexit brought them all into the open. Gove should have his Scottish heritage denied and be forever cast out.

The issue of EU membership is more about global restructuring. The world is moving to ultra large groupings of like minded peoples with broadly similar aspirations. The UK is as close to irrelevant as it's possible to get.
Scotland should be independently part of the EU, not subjugated in the UK.

An independent Scotland as a member of the Union of European States, the EU.

Agreed! I find it problematic to describe such events as mistakes. I am suspicious of how they have been enabled.

It is both difficult and painful for me to describe the depth of disappointment I feel about the Labour Government.
I hate what the #Brexiters have done to all of us and I would like to see them held to account for their conduct. I believe treason is not too strong a word.
Labour has failed us!

Trying to get his old job back, I see. Wants to be surrounded with people like himself.

I believe that Cummings and Farage - along with Johnson, Gove and others - should be locked in the Tower and the keys thrown in the Thames. I believe they have knowingly committed treason against the citizens of the UK. I believe they lied to the electorate.
