Knowing this you will be a big SNP supporter now,NJ.Birds of a feather and all that.

It begs the question that presumably if Scotland do get "independence" should they join the EUSSR?

[ynnafymmi]

Probably not,3t.They have enough problems already without having a disfunctional state like Scotland joining in.

[ToraToraTora]

yes but what I mean is that if the SNP are the main brexiteers they should not want to join.

[Zacs-Master]

Tora, have you not posted before, at some length, about Scotland not qualifying financially, to join the EU?

[ToraToraTora]

Well not specifically but that is one of the areas of concern. All part of the famous 10 that no Scot has ever even attempted to answer.

Ah, ok. I’d search the 274 questions you’ve posted about scotland and/or the 427 answers but…..well, life’s too short ain’t it!

[ToraToraTora]

well I wouldn't rely on the AB search zacs!

[THECORBYLOON]

ZM, surely there's no need to search for the questions because they're, "famous"?

One can see this is a nonsense from the title. We are out of the controlling EU therefore Brexit was and is a resounding success. Next step, out of the ECHR, we trust. If the headline is an obvious nonsense then one can reasonably opt not to waste time reading the actual article since it's likely to be as bad.

You mean the ‘Minister for Brexit Opportunities and Government Efficiency’ right?

//The Guardian newspaper picked this up and found out it was true.//

But how did they find out it was true? As far as I can recall, there was not a supplementary question on the referendum paper asking whether you voted Labour/Tory/SNP or whatever. Even if they wanted to, they could not ask all those who voted to leave which party they generally vote for for the simple reason that nobody knows who voted which way in the referendum. So how do they know? Simply saying "The Grauniad found out" doesn't really provide an explanation.

I would suggest there is no way of knowing and that the contention may simply be based on the result of a poll or survey.

32 replies and no one has answered the question.

Then I read the link and it became clear why. JRM didn’t actually say anything. He did not say how the state should be remodelled, or which functions the state should cease doing.
In essence it’s pie in the sky wish-list with no road map of how to get there, wherever there is.
It is not worth the New European writing about it, and certainly not worth Tora or ymb or me commenting on it.

[Zacs-Master]

Yet……

With stories like this taken seriously, they sure have.
