BBC Question Time last night (i know it's awful i just came across it and they had started asking Indie related questions) is a prime example of divergence and general ignorance of people in the South. The lack of knowledge about Scotland by people in the Zoom audience was breathtaking. We even had one old English lady sitting in a wood panelled room suggesting her village should consider going Indie. Whenever any discussion from Kate Forbes took place she would laugh and mock throughout. Blind Unionism laughing and mocking Scots will drive more people towards Indie.

To be fair - in order to have Indy ref 2 there needs to be a clear pathway to having/arranging the vote. In the interim period providing an Indie plan would be incomplete and require multiple changes - if they'd had a plan pre covid it would now have to be revised and opponents would clearly state "they are constantly changing things" IMO - i am ok with there being no full plan at the moment. There's no vote yet, it will not happen for at least 3yrs. I expect to see some plan 12-18months out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
