Independence

Nicola Sturgeon will explain later how she plans to hold a second referendum on Scottish independence.
The first minister will make a statement in the Scottish Parliament shortly after 14:00 BST.
She is expected to lay out her plan for holding a lawful vote in October next year, with or without the formal consent of UK ministers.
The UK government has held firm its view that "now is not the time" for another referendum.
The statement comes after Ms Sturgeon published the first in a series of papers earlier this month aimed at making a fresh case for independence.
In the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence, the "no" side won with 55% of the vote.
That was before Boris and other sweaty miscreants of course.

Apart from the expense, I can't see any argument against having another referendum.
Yes this is the real "Little John" (or it could be "colin")

I'd be waiting until Queenie decides that she has had enough of the rabble north of the border. Or until Charlie takes over. Or both.
Of course I'm athletic, I SURF the internet daily!

We won’t be voting on the Royals at all at this point.
