Cable Forum - Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Sean Clerkin is a legend (not in a very good way). There’s video somewhere of him and his wife trying to set some government document or other alight outside the Tunnocks* factory, with similar lack of success.

*Boyd Tunnock absolutely enraged the Nats in 2014 when he declared he believed Scotland should remain in the U.K.

(Edit) Or was perhaps it in George square? It’s hard to remember, Clerkin is well known for frequent, crap protests. Even most Nats are embarrassed by him.

Speaking of bungling nice to see the Scottish Labour party stuck with a leader Sir Keir doesn’t want and nice to see egg on face for Lord Foulkes and Jackie Baillie for getting the Scottish Government briefing removed, then not removed and pretending it never happened, from the screens of the British state broadcaster.

If this is the best unionism has to put up the SNP have little to fear come May.

What is the economic plan for Scotland, the other 45% say?

What does 'economic plan' mean say many of the 55%.

Then the SNP have to come up with an economic plan without the (allegedly) billions in transfers to stop it sinking!
That would be a plan.

And sadly, an economic plan is what the SNP lacks. I think they still think they will be in receipt of the Barnett formula payouts and that whatever remains of the UK will pay for Scotland's government expenses!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Sir Keir not opposed to another referendum but will argue against it in May. At least it’s not trying to out Tory the Tories on British nationalism. A strategy that’s cost Labour dearly in Scotland.
