    about a year ago

    We passed over 1000 signatures earlier today ...

      Really gaining some traction then!!!

      Is it large enough for a "mandate" yet? Maybe we could ask Nicola to alert us when we reach critical mass?

        I'm curious as to why someone who purports to be a Labour supporter (I'm making the possibly wrong assumption that a Corbyn supporter is a de facto Labour supporter) would choose to cut off Scotland, when Scotland is crucial to the route back into Government for Labour.
        His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

            They probably will now, but you only have to go back a few years and Scotland was proudly socialist red. Now it seems it's proudly socialist yellow. Ergo, Labour bollixed for the foreseeable. Which begs the question, who are the new opposition? (And anyone who says the LibDooms will just get laughed at, OK)

              Probably the Bundestag.

              Let's face it, they'll be calling all the shots for any future trade deals you'll have with the EU.

                  But England doesn't need independence ... it already is.

                    No it's not. It is part of the UK.
