    The Scots should force through their independence so that Sunak has no access to the oil. Short-sighted twit.

      How would they go about doing that given that they have to get granted permission for another referendum from Westminster and if they choose not to and leave illegally, they become a rogue region that the EU won’t touch with a bargepole?

        If they hold a referendum and Westminster is like, “nope”. I’m pretty sure international pressure would get them out.

          Not really as lots of other countries have regions that would like to break away that this would embolden. Catalonia or the Basque regions in Spain and France for example.

              Exactly, do you think Spain sare going to be keen to let in Scotland if they illegally leave the UK and embolden them?

                No, I was referring to the referendum the people of Catalonia had, not them trying to invite Scotland 😂
