I think the wording of being in a ‘union’ is wrong and confusing. But I agree on the point of working with rUK on different matters as an independent Scotland
Does somebody, absolutely anybody at all, in the SNP actually understand what independence means?
How about independent, and still part of the Commonwealth then?
The sort of person that would try to argue indy scot could join the eu without a hard boarder with the UK while keeping the pound.
I get the point but my god it’s worded in a way that gets top marks for mental acrobatics.
Just say that independence doesn’t mean the end of co-operation or solidarity with the UK because that’s what you really mean.
Why is there no consensus yet on what Scottish Independence would actually be, the party’s existed for close to a century now
that photo in the OP is exactly my expression reading that headline….
Complete nonsense. Independence means independence.
Now, I love France, Spain and Germany but I would not be happy with them being in charge.
Independence does not mean not being friends.
Millionaire politicians and media prodded by mostly foreign billionaires decided everything should be framed as some kind of ugly divorce where we would smash the crockery and all storm off into the distance to never speak again. V obviously there are many areas where co-operation is essential to all concerned, equally it’s not exactly outlandish to suggest that the terms of a treaty might go through the odd renegotiation over 300 years. We likely need less handbags at dawn and more practicalities on how to co-operate effectively rather than at the whim of plundering ghouls located thousands of miles away 🙂
Brexit style promises of having our cake and eating it
These people are thick as shit
“I would love to have an independent Scotland be in some sort of union …..the Uk” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What the actual F
I mean yea, we all see what “maximum brexit” is doing to the UK, Only a moron would want the same for Indy Scot. Will it be harder with the Uk trying its damndest to distance itself from EU rules? yes, is it impossible for the situation to get better? no
This idea that an Indy Scotland would treat the UK as the Uk treats the EU is farcile and the only people actually proposing it are the people opposed to the idea of Scottish Indy in the first place.
It idealky would become an actual union (c.f. EU) rather than the current situation with London in control
Actually pathetic you have to block someone because you cant substantiate your claim
What a sad individual 🤣
Scotland could have independence and literally nothing has to change…. i mean positive change over time is the point but there was never any need for a hard break. Having said that it takes two governments to play nice and i don’t think wastemonster is capable.

Martin Luther: Reformation ‘should not be end of communion with Rome’
She’s arguing for “Devo Max”, same as Gordon Brown.
Thank christ she’s not in the cabinet.
>Scottish independence ‘should not be end of union with UK’
🤔
Isn’t that the exact point of independence?
I think both sides can agree on the question that this raises which is, what the actual tartan fuck ?
