Quote:Mistruths on both sides: immediate recession, war in Europe all scare mongering.
At this moment, nothing has changed. What we have had is a reaction to uncertainty. Our economy is already worth considerably less just at the thought of possibly leaving.
And don’t forget it still just the possibility of leaving. We are still full members of the EU.
Quote:What about Scot's ref where Sturgeon banked on an oil boom to fund the costings?
Perhaps you mean Alex Salmond. And no he didn’t. But yes the Scottish economy took into account the price of oil at that time. And can I make a prediction? Oil prices will rise over the next year, this will hit the UK doubly hard – oil is priced in dollars.
Quote:I bet ScotNats have boiling piss for not mounting legal challenges in 2014
Legal challenges could have been legitimately launched. Westminster tore up the Edinburgh agreement in the closing weeks of the referendum. That effectively meant that those who cast their vote in the postal ballot voted in a different referendum to those who voted on the day due to the introduction of ‘The Vow’. It became a farce.
At the end of the day I didn’t vote for a Tory government. Scotland didn’t vote for a Tory government (we have only one Tory MP in Scotland). I didn’t vote for Brexit. Scotland didn’t vote for Brexit. The Scottish Government has a clear mandate from the people of Scotland to do everything it can to stop Brexit.
Umm that is whatever Brexit turns out to be. Anybody know? Umm nope.
