scottish independence in 2013 was the stupidest shit
scottish independence now is a different story because the rest of the UK has retreated so far up its own arsehole that it's hard to imagine any level of economic or political indignity that would outweigh to chance to cross out every decision the country has made in the last 5 yrs |

02.13.21 | This time around the only absolutely stone bonker, sure-fire way for the Scots to gain independence from the UK is let the English vote for it. People south of the border are sick to death of their constant bloody bleating. |

02.13.21 | Nah fuck it, the tories are cunts but honestly breaking up into smaller political blocs is a bad idea. It should only be once in a lifetime. Also the people salivating at it happening on twitter just so they can give a gotcha to england can go fucking die for all i care. |

02.13.21 | "breaking up into smaller political blocs is a bad idea"
would you apply this to existing devolution though? mostly agreed with your point, though worth adding that the SNP are also generally awful outside of a few specific leadership figures |

02.13.21 | i remember the major argument before was the impossible logistics of having to deal with uk's nuclear weapons infrastructure being in scotland. has that changed? i doubt it |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.13.21 | "were you livin in scotland back thens??"
yeah bby. the nuclear argument was a big one against, there was a big argument for that scotland could sustain itself with its own oil supplies (which iirc has since collapsed), but at the end of the day there was no substantial call for a major shakeup in pre-brexit britain beyond nationalist grips and sore bones over thatcher's poll tax. am generalising wildly here, but you get the shape of it |

02.13.21 | No tbh in fact I'd encourage further devolution and I do get the frustration of the snp when they come up with a good idea every once in a while and it gets kneecapped but still somehow the way they approach it it comes off as extremely childish and spiteful |
Madbutcher3
02.13.21 | oops my bad mrs sturgeon but our policy division has decided to cancel campaigning for independence because "it comes off as extremely childish and spiteful" according to some guy on sputnikmusic.com a website that terminally overrates the sound of perseverance

02.13.21 | more seriously i think the fact that an entire region of the uk almost uniformly votes for a different party regardless of rural or urban distribution is probably a sign that it is sufficiently politically alienated to the rest of the country that it should have the option to leave. also in general i trust the SNP more than labour or the conservatives to have some kind of political integrity although that doesn't say very much given the state of the main UK political parties |
