“Independence,” Nicola Sturgeon said, “would allow us to protect our place in Europe.” But as with so much to do with the European Union, things are nowhere near as simple as that. Would an independent Scotland be allowed to join the EU?

“Independence,” she said on Wednesday in Holyrood, “would allow us to protect our place in Europe.”

JamesCrisp6 Nobody wants Stergeon. Scotland can leave but they won't be keeping the oil

JamesCrisp6 Humpty, Numpty sat on a wall, Humpty, Numpty had a great fall.

JamesCrisp6 Independent from the UK but not the EU. That’s ok🤔

JamesCrisp6 Brussels has said more than once,that Scotland can't join the eu ,but. Nobody is listening especially we wee krankie

JamesCrisp6 As for Scottish independence, the rest of the UK do not need Scotland nor the likes of Nazi Sturgeon.

JamesCrisp6 So the Scottish dickhead parliamentarians wanting to stop Brexit. Nazi like in their approach, the worst of them the Sturgeon. Plenty of water for her to return to. Brexit will prevail.

JamesCrisp6 Hope they do then they can financially prop them up, Europe needs another sad basket case or should I say the Germans do

JamesCrisp6 Total subversion. Scotland would be less independent! The Eu would demand the euro and all laws by Brussels

JamesCrisp6 We will build a bigly wall & the failing Tory party will pay for it. It will be a beautiful concrete wall with a hard border. Because, when the Tories send people they are not sending their best. They're sending people with lots of problems, greed, avarice & a lust for influence.

JamesCrisp6 Bothered?

JamesCrisp6 The Scottish economy would not meet the entry standards but the rules would be bent. They would have to take the Euro and Schengen. You think the Irish border is a problem?

JamesCrisp6 Only if they built a wall.

JamesCrisp6 😴💤

JamesCrisp6 They won't get many Euros in their sporrans after European Central Bank puts up it's Bank interest rates. They'll be pleading to rejoin the UK ?

JamesCrisp6 We don't know until we ask for it .. Queen Nicola should invoke Article 51 by writing to Donald Tusk .. then get the other Donald to finish off the wall.. Hadrien's wall...if not we dig up his Aberdeenshire golf resort. Exciting days ahead..sorted by 1 November.

JamesCrisp6 Go for it. I dare you. Do you know what? I double dare you. Crack on.

JamesCrisp6 Would a hard border be needed?

JamesCrisp6 Yes, they would, and guyverhofstadt even said that if IndyRef2 happens before Brexit is finalized, Scotland would not have to leave the EU at all. Those who think it silly to swap Westminster for Brussels are clueless. UK takes away more sovereignty from Scotland than the EU!

JamesCrisp6 Independent Scotland in the EU

JamesCrisp6 Gives a fuck

JamesCrisp6 Wrong, wrong and wrong - now try asking the correct questions
