I did offer to prove it, but someone worthy of respect on here pointed out why would I give a single fuck about what you think

But those that live in Scotland will be aware of major initiatives that I have this week provided advice on - including the implementation of recent benefits by the new SSS and the R100 programme

Don’t worry, I am not giving away sensitive information here - I just spent time whilst in the waiting room googling shit driven by my desperate craving to earn your respect;-)

Yeah and I just shagged Scarlett Johansson.

Anyway let's agree a few points

1. The vote to remain in UK in 2014 was close - about 55-45 from memory

2. Immediately after that the SNP started to think about the mobilisation of a further vote

3. They have been very vocal on this, but recognise that they should not - setting aside the need for Westminster agreement - pursue a 2nd vote until they are confident

4. Scotland was and is a majority pro-EU population - and that was a factor in the No vote

5. Scotland voted a majority for Remain in 2016

6. Opinion polls have started to show an increasing movement towards independence since the 2016 vote. I think that it was 49% Yes and 51% No a few months ago.

7. The trajectory towards an independence vote will have increased further and the prospect of a No-deal vote will have increased that

8. If an Indyref2 was to happen today there could well be a vote to leave the UK and Brexit will have been a decisive factor

So can we all agree those points?

Has somebody hacked your account haha.

Yes that’s all correct. Although I think it’s now over 50% for yes.

It’s that restrictive and blinkered understanding of nouns and adjectives that’s holding this great debate back. We need to throw off such shackles and embrace the full arsenal, nay armoury of the language, our language...

Almost certain to be in official recession when the next results are announced early November. As I have said many times - what on earth do tory strategists come up with when they play this forward. If we crash out in October and we go straight into a recession how do they spin that...
 
One of the reasons why some of Project Fear’s projections turned out to be overstated was because the aftermath of the referendum coincided with a boom in the world economy. It now looks as if we could be leaving just as the opposite occurs. Bad timing or what?

Well lets say that if banking crisis 2.0 emerges in the UK it could be very bad to be on youre own at that point. But afcourse thats also the extreme side of an "beyond control" outside influence that would hurt the UK eitherway.

Granted, if an economic depression would start around this time then it would not be a nessecarily unexpected one. The economy has been booming for about a decade and looking at recent history an economic depression happens about every 10 years or at around a point where stock markets are significantly higher than the high point achieved by the previous boom, which they deffinatly are too. Strategists in 2016 coud have argued that around 2018/19 there would be an increased chance to hit the end of a boom cycle.
