Nicola Sturgeon living in England

[TalkToTheHand123]

Is she claiming asylum? She must now realise what a great country England is after spending all those years trying to destroy the country. She is most welcome to pop rounds for a cuppa and a natter.

20% though. Not dismissing them, but we're 50/50. Which is unhealthy. I'd rather there was a bigger difference because I don't want an Eire situation.

I never have, and never will, click on a link from a comic.

😂😂😂😂So you don’t read The National then?😂😂😂😂

I don’t actually. I have no idea why you think that’s hilarious btw but each to their own 🤨

None of the big issues such as currency/pensions/mortgages/borders were addressed at the time of the referendum, I know because I asked repeatedly

A hard border would be inevitable because if the English need to stop immigration and would clearly be a disaster

I think the indie support is so heavily weighted to the central belt that they genuinely have no idea about how life in the borders and D&G works

It shows she thinks English rule is not that bad after all. In fact, she seems to prefer it compared to how Scotland is being ruled under the SNP.

I imagine she is paying less tax than she would be in Scotland, thanks to her tax policy. That must be a benefit to her.

They never answer any of these questions either

i think because they don’t understand them

will we get our own DVLA, Tax office, passport agency, etc? Who’s paying for this? How long will it take to set up?

Who's building and paying for the border? Will pension funds and mortgages move to sturgeons instead of pounds? Will you be able to choose?

We would need a cereal bank for ourvien currency and to meet standards for join the EU, which would be difficult for years

as with Brexit, I have to ask: what would be the benefit?

I’m sorry, but as an English person who lived in Scotland for 23 years I can very much tell you that independence supporters are anti English. The anti English comments only ever came from independence supporters, never from unionists. Furthermore, when I spoke about the anti English abuse I experienced, only unionists expressed condemnation of this. The independence supporters remained quiet and often smiled or smirked.

I’ve seen this too. My ds is half English and the referendum time was horrible for him

"A hard border would be inevitable"

That's just no true. Northern Ireland and Ireland don't have a hard border (meaning you can still travel from the EU to a part of the UK without any checks even after Brexit). Norway and Sweden don't have a hard border even with one country being in the EU and the other not. It's not inevitable at all and unlikely imo.

One of my best friends was born and raised in London. She voted yes. Don’t think she’s anti herself.

Cereal?

Agree.

How do people know he’s “half”
English?

It’s TEMPORARY. It would be like me going to Brighton for a few months to stay with my Aunty. I’d still be paying my tax to the Scottish Govt. The tax office would collapse if they had to document people going to other countries on a temporary basis.

You’re invested in me to a worrying level.

Not really. Just pointing out inaccuracies. You dish out what you can’t take.

One of my rare replies to you. I dish out nothing. You, however, are fixated with me. It’s unhealthy.

Anyway, there’s no point in people getting upset about Indy then moaning about a Scottish person temporarily locating to one of the unions component parts. You either want us with you, or don’t. Make your minds up!

You’re fixated with quite a lot of posts. The volume speaks for itself.

We haven't been given a vote .....

And you won’t unless you want English Independence. I’d go for it. You’re the only part of the UK without your own parliament!

If you really want Scottish independence I have wondered if that would be the way - to encourage English independence. I don't think it would gain enough interest. Many years ago - when there was a high-profile by-election - there was an English Nationalist Party, for the reason you state.
