AIBU to move to Scotland because England is now officially shit?

[BoffinMum]

Just that really.
Where's a good place to live to escape all the Brexit madness?
I prefer Nicola Sturgeon to any of the psychopaths allegedly 'running' the country down here.

The men are very short up here so best bring your own.

Our economy needs working adults and their kids so come on up. If you're hoping to live in a liberal, tolerant, non violent haven then keep looking.

Scotland has as many thugs, bigots and plain stupids as anywhere else.

Can you get hummus in Scotland though?

Escaping Farage's nasty thinly veiled bigotry towards Europe to live under Sturgeon's wonderful thinly veiled bigotry towards England. No irony there.

Quite fancy Aberdeen actually, beautiful city.

Do what you want, how can a bunch of strangers tell you if your unreasonable to move?

Aberdeen is very beautiful but doesn't stop raining.

Also no jobs whatsoever because of the price of oil. They are desperate for teachers (as is the rest of Scotland), though.

Weather is shite. That is why much drinking is done.

Aberdeen is such a depressing place. All that granite and all that rain do not make a very cheering mix.

toffee of course you can get hummus. We even have Waitrose now.

Tonis of course people wear kilts. I passed a lovely gentleman wearing one on the high street earlier. If you never see anyone in a kilt you aren't going to the right parties

OP there was a pro-EU demonstration outside the Scottish Parliament the other day. One speaker said this:

*“However long this great country goes on for, you will always have a home and a future in Scotland.

We don’t care what race you are or what religion you follow, as long as you can put up with a little bit of rain"*

Lol! Good luck getting into the new Independent Scotland if you're English.....remember you no longer have the freedom of movement to do so! Lol!

The rain is the biggest challenge. And midges.

If wee Nic gets her prized independence I'll be leaving Scotland despite being Scottish born and bred!

I thought the Scot's were a rather canny and shrewd people? What developed nation would voluntarily enter the Eurozone nowadays?

I've noticed a rise in anti-English sentiment in Scotland over the past 10 years or so and I fear it will only get worse since the EU referendum. I hope I'm wrong.

I haven't noticed an increase in anti English sentiment. Anti Westminster - yes.

Loads of Scottish people voted to leave. Loads of English people voted to stay. The ratios were different but not massively so. Promoting difference can't, imo, be a good thing

I agree. I voted remain but I'm getting a little tired of all the congratulatory back slapping about how wonderful voters in Scotland were.

I voted no to independence and am still a no. Sturgeon is awful. The last thing needed on Friday morning was someone banging on about indyref2 and that was exactly what we got.

I voted remain and I think Sturgeon has made a total arse of herself the past few days. Sleekit wee thing.

How do Scot's feel about the snivelling of that Scottish MEP the other day? I haven't a drop of Scottish blood, but I was horribly embarrassed.

You will be very welcome. Join some of the large numbers of us English up here. It is rather nice.

I was horribly embarrassed. He was probably greeting that he had to get off the gravy train. Still the humongous pay off might help I suppose.

I would imagine that the pro Scottish independence lot now regret calling no voters "cap doffers", "snivellers" whilst instructing us to "get off our knees" because all of those key phrases popped into my head watching that "quisling".

You saw it? I only heard him grovelling on the radio, was he actually clutching Juncker's feet at the time?

I suppose obsequious servility is at least a change from the customary pompous bluster witnessed in parliaments the world over but, by God, it was tough to stomach for the British people.

"Snivveling" while making demands?

Getting a standing ovation for greeting about his job?

Some of you really can't see past your Daily Mail noses.

We can be beside a loch in sunning scenery in 20 mins from a major city. Hardly any traffic.

Demands? Did you want to say Daily Mail but couldn't quite say it?

He was cravenly begging his fellow MEPs, to pleeease not to be upset with Scotland, after the Brexit vote? 'We don't want any trouble sir. It was them down there, they did it, not us – please!' . Is thios Smith bloke actually Scottish? I'd always considered the Scots a proud race of people, not grovelling sycophants.
