I’ve already been told off by Kushan for swerving the swear filter.

No ship! Kush is getting busy these days.
Meanwhile, I'm totally tickled by the Shetland Islands story. Crown dependency seems reasonable. Need to look at their financial standing, though.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
One interesting thing on any timing for a referendum - we have a UK-wide Festival coming up in 2022. (Sometimes termed the Brexit Festival)
Quote:
|
As a UK-wide celebration of our creativity and innovation, the Festival will be designed in collaboration with the devolved administrations to showcase the best of our art, culture, heritage, design and technology sectors.

With the level of SNP support at the last referendum, I don't think Labour supporters count for much in this debate. You are getting desperate now.

However, the last poll conducted between 2nd and 7th September found 53% were in favour of independence.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I think Unionists need to move past trying to block a referendum for much longer and instead focus on when would be optimal time for us to hold it, what the question should be and what the campaign will be. It needs to be better than the last campaign.
The Nationalists would have been planning for it from the moment they lost the last one.

The question would surely have to be the same as the EU question. The campaign would have to be more than Project Scottish Fear. Preumably it would need to be before the next UK election.
