    How likely is it that another ref will take place? What needs to happen to make it go through?

    i see it being a whole different proposition post-brexit and Trump. As well as it being a chance to ideologically distance ourselves, we're seeing that uncertainty shouldn't factor in as much. The country hasn't fallen apart yet. It's being badly run and we're headed for disaster but the transition isn't abrupt. That might be enough to sway the uncertainty mob.

    jake nailed it... Scotland is so badly represented in parliament. We're on the fringes, it's almost embarrassing seeing us folks getting behind the likes of mhairi black when she's effectively pissing into the wind.

    Mhari Black is dissillusioned already with parliment and is not sure she will run again! Must be pretty frustrating in general but even more so if you are in her situation.

    I voted 'yes' last time round, although for a long time I was convinced voting 'no' was the right way to go, in fact it was the couple of days prior to the referendum date that swayed me. Of that I am glad.

    I will still be a 'yes' unless something drastically changes between now and the date of the second referendum - and I am more convinced than ever. Scotland has its very own, and nuanced political identity which stands aside from the rUK, but cannot ever hope to allow that to flourish whilst ruled from Westminster.

    Aside from anything else, it could take actual decades for there to be any true opposition to the Tories which presents a viable alternative, and well...fuck that.

    There is a lot about the SNP that I dislike, but once Scotland has its independence its people will begin to form its own political spectrum - I guess crucially the difference is that how individuals vote will actually matter for a change.

    This is pretty much my thinking. Was no for a long time because of the uncertainty, voted yes in the end. Was dissapointed we didn't win. Was maybe slightly relived when the oil crashed then incensed about Brexit especially considering how Scotland voted. Not a fan of the SNP but see them as a means to an end.

  6. TV Series!!

    Just started The Kettering Incident which is pretty good. Set in Austrialia, pretty weird, possible aliens and the like. Has the blonde actor from The Night Manager as the main star, she is really good in it.

    Catastrophe continues to be pretty god damn funny. Don't know how/if they will fit in Carrie Fishers death.

    No Offense - mid way through the first season of this cop drama/comedy set in Manchester, good mid week watching.

    Newcastle. It's my team and a decent one to try even if you aren't a fan. Only just won the title in my most recent season by a baw hair so it has been frustrating but in an enjoyable way.

    Will give up on this save soon once the young players of the real world start retiting!

    Lukaku has no idea about Big Bastard and his big bastarding ways. He will though.
