No doubt it will be corrected shortly, but this just lifted straight from the report about Sturgeon's "climate emergency" virtue signaling: Independence 'surge' Ms Sturgeon's conference speech came just days after she announced that she wants a second referendum on Scottish independence by 2021 if the UK leaves the UK. how long they would keep the pound is the best one.......six tests need.....which will never be met.......

The power to run your own affairs. Sovereignty. We are in agreement, that is the basic Remain/Leave choice. I find the economic, regulatory and personal impact argument compelling. I don't really understand the sovereignty argument and I don't find it a particularly balanced choice. Maybe its an idea that's had its 500 years of fame and isn't best suited to a future of limited resources, climate change and an AI and robotic-dominated empoloyment world. YMMV, of course, but I really do struggle wit the idea of giving up real, concrete immediate economic benefits for the somewhat nebulous concept of sovereignty.

Maybe its an idea that's had its 500 years of fame and isn't best suited to a future of limited resources, climate change and an AI and robotic-dominated empoloyment world. Human nature doesn't change. The world will always be about domination and subordination. Sovereignty and self-determination will never have had its day and those limited resources will be fought over to the death, despite the virtue signalling by governments and corporations. But if you're all more interested in petty, short term economics and your roaming charges, then crack on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rabid brexiteers have been given a blank canvas on which they can paint up any old crapulence like their "clean break" nonsense and the gammons will all think it's a good idea and then wonder so what's the delay...? I guess the hackneyed "Sovereignty" is about the only card left to play as it's the most nebulous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Scotland). Easy. Just tell them they can't. They can bring in a new currency. The haggis? By the time of Union in 1708, the old Scottish currency was down to 1 to 12 against sterling. It wouldn't take long for the haggis to be similar, so it seems an appropriate name. https://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital BNJ/pdfs/2002_BNJ_72_8.pdf Edited April 28, 2019 by woolley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why, but I get the idea that you are probably more gammon than those you disparage with the term. As for sovereignty being nebulous, you keep that particular faith at your peril. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often been accused of being too laid back! Got to say those who use the expression "virtue signalling" always make me smile. What, you think good works should only ever be done in secret or something??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
