General / Off-Topic Farage lets rip at 'Eurofanatic' Sturgeon over referendum

Yes Trump did say that Scots were celebrating leaving the EU. But Trump says a lot of things. Whenever he opens his mouth a whole heap of bovine excrement is sure to emerge.

Well, at least he didn't claim Scots were rapists, enemies of the American people, or celebrating 9/11. He's said that about our neighbors, our media, and our citizens, respectfully. As gauche as his Brexit comment was, the Scots got off easy.

He does appear to have issues with neighbours. He has one beside his Scottish golf course that he calls a pig.
 
Well at least they are leaving and that includes Farage AND Boris Johnson.
So its a double win for the rest of us in the EU.
Ohh and you can have Gert Wilders for free :)

Cheers Cmdr's

The anti-immigration, anti-muslim fanatic who straightens and dyes his hair so people wouldn't remember he's one quarter Indonesian? That one is mad as a hatter.
 
Welp, I'll be voting NAW, if there's another bloody IndyRef.

I say if - because I just signed this petition : https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/180642

There's also this interesting article I posted here : https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/337033-The-SNP-is-wrong-There-has-been-no-material-change-in-circumstances

And finally - even if IndyRef2 does happen - I will make it my mission in life to campaign against it. No more passively hoping for a No vote. This time, it's war.

I guess you're the last Tory in Scotland then.

The Conservatives have hated Scotland ever since it became DisnaeLand (disnae vote Tory) They used us as an experiment to see how the Poll Tax would be welcomed. They knew that if it was a disaster it would make any difference to their popularity up here, which was already rock bottom.

Their disdain for us continues to this day...

Scotland has a better chance of its voice being heard in Europe than it does in England, especially if they start using us as an example of how good the EU can be to those bits of the UK that stay with them.

We might have to rewrite the joke...

A Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a pub. The Englishman says "I don't like it in here. There are too many foreigners. Let's go."

The Scotsman replies "Naw! I like it in here. The prices are cheap and the people friendly. You go on without me. Irishman, you wanna stay as well?"
 
The only thing I find surprising about The People's Stockbroker is that anybody in Britain, let alone the rest of the world, is still dense enough to treat a single word that the chortling imbecile utters seriously.

The level of poison spewed at the SNP over this demonstrates the level of fear the UK establishment has over the breakup of the UK.

It was a very needless act of self-mutilation by the UK as well, as there was no mandate to proceed with the extreme form of Brexit that the May government has cheerfully and incompetently been chasing. If they kept the customs union, the single market, and the ECJ, even for a transitional period while the UK/EU relationship was assessed, they'd not be dealing with this crisis today.
 
Farage points out the hypocrisy of Sturgeon.

“I simply can’t understand how this word ‘independence’ can be used by Sturgeon – how is it independent to share your fish with the rest of Europe?” he asked.

“How is it independent to have virtually all of your laws made somewhere else? How is it independent to have your own courts overruled? How is it independent to have to sign up to join the Euro? How does any of this work? How does she get away with it?


:p

The EU and the UK are two different entities. Just like Farage, you can be for one and not the other. To compare them equally is a false equivalence.
 
The declaration for a new referendum by Mrs Sturgeon is considered as irresponsible by Mrs May. Because this declaration can disrupt the negotiations on the Brexit. The referendum have no chance to be approved by Wesminster. It will be only a consultative referendum

I'm hoping the UK government won't let this indyref happen at all.

However, I suspect it just might let it happen, unfortunately.

There will be a huge caveat to it though - it will only be allowed to happen after the UK has formerly pulled the rip-cord and ejected from the diving aeroplane that is the European Union. After that, I don't think there will a successful yes vote in any new indyref - in fact even if it were held now, I don't think there would be a yes vote.

I've replaced words. See the problem?

“I simply can’t understand how this word ‘independence’ can be used by Sturgeon – how is it independent to share your fish with the rest of Europethe UK?” he asked.

“How is it independent to have virtually all of your laws made somewhere else? How is it independent to have your own courts overruled? How is it independent to have to sign up to join the Eurouse sterling? How does any of this work? How does she get away with it?

“Tell me that it’s consistent to talk about independence and be part of the European UnionUnited Kingdom. I’ll tell you what, if you convince me of that then I’ll take you out for the best dinner you’ve ever had because I think it’s literally impossible.”

See? He thinks it's fine to be part of the UK, which is still very much run from Westminster, but not fine to be part of the wider EU. Why is that? I am guessing the words 'Empire' and 'but we're British' are basically the argument.

I read a few months ago, that whatever the situation of the UK, the Scots would prefer to stay in the UK because they have hundreds of years of common history.
