ROY, I didn't say you made up the quotes. I found only the second one in Google Books but it doesn't say when he made the statement. The page with the notes giving those details us not available to view.

That is the only hit I could find with the that quote. You might have a different source and I am interested to know when he made his remarks.

emmie: "doesn't Nichola want to keep the Monarchy? "
Bobbi: "Does she? I'm not sure Emmie "
emmie: "yes she has said so."

I think you are wrong emmie she doesn't want to keep the Monarchy she wants to BE the monarchy! Hail Queen Nicola!

I've just posted this on gullivers meaningless, unnecessary, thread.

Everything the EU does is to take away sovereignty from member nations (usually with bribery). If Scotland is ok with this then fine...but stop pretending you will be independent.

It is getting further and further away from what it was set up for.

They should kick the old biddie out and reclaim Balmoral.

Emmie: "if they were remotely allowed to join the club that is the EUSSR, what currency do they have, because it sure as hell won't be the Euro. " - if they left the UK they could still use the pound or indeed any currency but they'd have no control over it at all. There are many countries that simply use the dollar for example. If they they did join the EUSSR they'd be forced to have the Euro and no doubt they'd have to build a border. How would that chime with the population in the borders area?

TCL: Are you pro "Independence"?

Ha! That old biddie is an amazing woman , yeah but let them have Balmoral and do what they want with it, Nicola can bring in some Scottish pound notes by renting out the rooms , win win , yeahhhh :0)

TTP: "They should kick the old biddie out and reclaim Balmoral. " - gawd help us you mean they are going to reclaim all non Scottish owned land? Sounds like the Russian Revolution! Think it through me old china!

roy; "Everything the EU does is to take away sovereignty from member nations (usually with bribery). If Scotland is ok with this then fine...but stop pretending you will be independent. " - bang on, it's only their hatred of England that drives this folly, not common sense. The EUSSR will Tub cuf them on prime time, if they want that it can only mean that being attached to England is abhorrent to them.

[TrevorThePug]

Yes it’s all about .... “taking back control” isn’t it.

[ToraToraTora]

you are wally!

[ToraToraTora]

Taking back control! PMSL! that's the last thing they want, they just want to separate from England because of xenophobia.

[TrevorThePug]

Oh, just like Brexit then.

Anyway,the next IndyRef vote wont be for a while now.Alec Salmond said"once in a lifetime",seventy years?-Nicola Sturgeon said"once in a generation",twenty one years(unless you come from Coatbridge,when it comes down to thirteen years).So we are looking at 2035 at the earliest.Live with it Nationalists.If it is worth having,it is worth waiting for.

No Trev, nothing like Brexit.
