It makes sense. then every country gets what it wants, or what it voted for.
After all we are told that it was a decisive win at 52%. so 55% in NI and 62% in Scotland can hardly be called trivial, can it.
Oh yes, the British Empire strikes back, of course it can.

The Battle of Glasgow Green, 1919. 10,000 troops, machine guns, howitzers and tanks at ready.
But even before that, when workers in the mills in Dundee wanted shorter hours, the mill owners, including the family (Grimmond’s Mill) of that ‘great Liberal’ Joe Grimmond, ordered up 22 machine pistols, just in case.

That’s where we are heading. We’ve heard people rejoicing at the fact that we can relax standards in manufacturing and health a safety, not to mention recycling. The off-shore sweat shop and rubbish tip of Europe.
When you think about it, at least some of these people had just fought in the great war… you know, the one the Tories made so much of in 2014, talking about “our brave British boys”.

Orange Order. Is that something to do with the POTUS’s face?
Yes, true, it brought disorder…only it was more like 30 years, and an awful lot of misery.
I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t happen here. We’ve managed 70+ years of discourse without having ever resorted to violence. Even in the face of Nazi salutes and Union Jacks being rubbed in our faces.

Why are the Tories so desperate to ensure that their loss making northern subsidiary isn’t allowed to float itself off as an independent enterprise?
Most unusual behaviour from them and goes against all their historic actions in such circumstances.
Their declared love for subsidising us is extremely laudible but not credible given the nature of the beast so we must assume they are lying about something.
May has declared the branch management to be incompetent and signalled her intent to take control back to London which is guaranteed to antagonise the share holders north of the border.
How they react to this provocation will be interesting.

Well, I suspect she can try that, probably by repatriating power bit by bit, then at some point she can declare the Scottish parliament to be outrageously expensive for a parish council which only decides on what colour to pain the railings at Holyrood House, and disband it.
Ruth can get a safe seat in England and Fluffy can take over running the Scottish colony. (Bless him. I’d not give him much more than 12 hours before disaster struck.)
They never wanted devolution. Maybe they think that it’s a good idea to get rid of it.
Well, you can laugh, they think hard Brexit, Trump, Netanyahu and Erdogan are good ideas… so anything is possible.

She has a wicked sense of humour. I shall award her a Scottish passport, assuming the new Scottish Home Office will let me nick one, on the grounds that she actually knows and understands how we independentistas feel about things, and sympathizes. This is, sadly, all too f*cking rare.
