    Yes Scotland will leave UK but not just because of Brexit. There are a whole host of reason Brexit is just one of them.

    Every country should have the opportunity to be independent. And free of corruption and dictator style control.

    Independence for Scotland is right and just, yet independence for the uk is so wrong?

  7. @philcooper279

    January 8, 2024 at 6:52 pm

    Good, let the Scots join Albania, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Montenegro and, of course, their friends in the IRA. What happens in Europe, is non of England's business, though Mr Putin may have his own ideas on the future of that subject.

    If not, the English will. No it isn't, it is made up of England a few third world countries. Did the report also predict, the abandonment of fossil fuels, Sovereignty, means pay your own bill's, and stand on your own feet. Sovereignty, does not mean the English picking up the bills.

    The historic nation of Scotland has inalienable right to self determination and sovereignty. Little Englanders bullied Scotland out of the Eu. This was an utter betrayal of any semblance of democracy!

    January 8, 2024 at 6:52 pm

    I couldn't careless if Scotland leaves or stays, as long as it's understood we don't pick up the pieces when Karen Krankie fails badly, for me it has to be a one way trip all the way currency NHS all the other services, hard border with passports and visa's, if it wants to be independent then so be it, lets see if, 1/ the EU actually want's Scotland to be a member does Scotland have the money to join the club 2/ will the EU actually look after it's latest toy.

    Scotland can do better on its own. It is much better to stay away from 5 Eyes and AUKUS. Don't waste any taxpayers money on waging a war which is not going to do anybody any good.

  14. @scotinternationalist1373

    Scotland dose not have control over taxation !

    So if anyone's counting that's 3 democratic referendums that the SNP wanted to over turn.
    1979 devolution referendum.
    2014 independence referendum.
    2016 Brexit referendum.

    The SNP obviously does not like democracy.

    No it won’t, sturgeon has no interest in independence. She and much of the snp will loose their job if Scotland becomes independent.
    If you think Scotland will become independent you are a clown

  30. @highlanderthegreat

    January 8, 2024 at 6:52 pm

    scotland will never leave the UK… they cant afford to leave… if they leave they need their own CURRENCY their own military their own navy and air force.. their own coast guard…they will have to sorta redo their election body to an extent. they will need a president/prime minister as head of the country…they will need all that way before they can ever think about joining the EU…

    January 8, 2024 at 6:52 pm

    Would Boris Johnson and England be willing to cause a civil war if Westminster refused Scotland another independence vote when SNP have a virtual clean sweep in Scotland. Or will Westminster turn out the troops like that cow Thatcher did to help police during miner's strike of 1980 s

  33. @ericborland3292

    January 8, 2024 at 6:52 pm

    So at last the Westminster colluding to hide the truth about them stealing Scotland's oil revenue why have SNP not taken Westminster to task as this was nothing short of theft

  34. @alexc7367

    January 8, 2024 at 6:52 pm

    Scotland: Strikes oil
    England, Northern Ireland and Whales: Yay we have oil now!!
    Scotland: Excuse me, do i know you people?

  35. @walterbakker2690

    January 8, 2024 at 6:52 pm

    When Scotland leaves the union the UK's territorial waters would shrink drastically. Please make a video of what that would look like and the consequences to the British fishing industry…

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.
