Ha - why so concerned??????Please. Not another day when a vacuum of news on a deal means the thread descends into proxy wars over Scottish independence.
I understand but you are still missing the most important point(s) when you say:You are finally getting there. And beginning to understand.
I keep reirerating that never once have i claimed to think/predict to know what the outcome of indyref2 will be. Just that brexit will ensure one, and make independence more likely. I myself have said i dont see enough there to swing it. But i can also see it building quickly post brexit. Enough to swing it? i wouldn't dare guess.
the threatening so called economic case of leaving the EU or starving scotland of options, which you and GH are advocating as an outcome of brexit, will only further drive that appetite. It is naive to think otherwise.
But in Scotland there is increasing scrutiny on the SNP for their performance on domestic policies beyond independence - they need to start focussing on that performanceI agree. I Do.
But SNP are and have been for the best part of two decades the governing party in scotland, and only seem to be getting stonger. they go beyong a single issue, domestically, although they drive it in Westminster. The likelyhood of them going anywhere is zilch, irrespective of brexit or the next indyref. or the one after.
I hope you are keeping all your BM contributions - I'm looking forward to the book!I understand but you are still missing the most important point(s) when you say:

That is oinly true about the appetite and passion for leaving - but with regards to whether Scotland actually will vote to leave you are simply going against all objective thinking and logic.
Sorry - there is a clear desire amongst Remainers on here to discuss the facts / logic - for understandable reasons - they do not like inconvenient truths
Economics not your strong point is it.So they shut down their factories here, build new ones in NI, and then have to hire people to fill those positions?
Seems like a costlier strategy to me, but hey ho.
Never said it was, nor claimed it. Not allowed to voice thoughts on BM anymore?Economics not your strong point is it.
this is what's puzzling me about the reaction to it. but it feels like leavers want to claim they've won something and remainers want to point out its a fudge. so everyone's happy. maybe...
Ahhhh. I should have read this first. I wouldn’t have bothered asking the previous question.They can do what they like. Their consumers will go elsewhere or other companies will fill the void they left behind. Everyone likes an opportunity.
Someone earning around £10000 a year, in the retail industry.Ahhhh. I should have read this first. I wouldn’t have bothered asking the previous question.
Thinking customers care whether they’re buying from Doncaster or Derry, enough to stop using them. Fucking lol.
What is it you work as again MB?
Something in it for everyone is an acceptable compromise...except it seems the DUP

My point is mainly that people wouldn’t stop buying “British” (UK, not Britain I know) by buying stuff produced in Belfast rather than Bury and 99% of consumers in the UK have no idea where their items are physically produced anyway.Someone earning around £10000 a year, in the retail industry.
Thanks for undermining me ;)
And it was more a point about if people want something enough, they'll pay for it.
No arguments here. I didn't even say anything about customers "caring" where they buy their products from and if they want something badly enough, they'll pay for it regardless of who sells it or from where.My point is mainly that people wouldn’t stop buying “British” (UK, not Britain I know) by buying stuff produced in Belfast rather than Bury and 99% of consumers in the UK have no idea where their items are physically produced anyway.
If this deal goes through then it will be the biggest boost to the NI economy as anyone could ever have expected.
