Scotland's first minister has said a second independence referendum is "highly likely" after the UK voted to leave the EU.

Nicola Sturgeon said it was "democratically unacceptable" that Scotland faced the prospect of being taken out of the EU against its will.

She said the Scottish government would begin preparing legislation to enable another independence vote.

Great news!

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, by all means, lets get Scotland back in the U. E. as fast as possible.

What kind of fools scream “ let us back in the EU.”? Even a child can see that the EU is headed towards the trash bin for many good and sane reasons.

[FlyingEagle]

When did Scotland become a democracy?

[rightwingcrazy]

Let me get this straight. They want to vote for their independence, so that they can regain their dependence?

[Cowboy Bob]

She is a little pain in the butt...but by all means, go for independence! Get a taste of what it's like to work for a living.

Scotland is like a 35 year old country, living in the basement of its parent, England.

[PAR35]

Something fishy about Sturgeon.

[Red in Blue PA]

What does Scotland have that people want?

[SkyDancer]

I thought they couldn’t do that again, take another vote. They keep voting until they’re out?

[agere_contra]

And Scotland has twice the number of MPs (Members of Parliament) per capita than England.

Which means that every Scot has twice the voice of an Englishman. And the Scots (I’m sorry to say) have become very left-wing and dependent.

The moment Scotland leaves, England will become majority Conservative

As an American of Scottish heritage, I am embarrassed by the Scots. They appear to be nothing but a bunch of layabouts looking for freebies! Ditto for Northern Ireland. The British did the right thing yesterday and they will ultimately be ahead of the game for getting out of that stinking socialist turd that is the EU. Also, Germany needs to have it's pee pee whacked (again).

They have a nice golf-course. Owned by Trump!

“What kind of fools scream “ let us back in the EU.”? Even a child can see that the EU is headed towards the trash bin for many good and sane reasons.”

Scottish liberals are “ascared” of their free stuff being cut off. They fear that they’ll have to produce more and won’t have funds to keep buying votes via a welfare state.

Let them vote and let them become part of the EU. The EU looks like its going to fall apart anyway. Germany can handle keeping things afloat for a little while, but when they grow sick of it and the whole house of cards collapses, European liberals are going to scurry into hiding for a long, long time. Euro-libs own the EU mess now more than ever ... if done right, this could help to expose the abject failure of socialism!

how much of the Royal Navy would go to Scotland?

[LongWayHome]

They won’t leave...who’s going to pay their welfare. A truly once great people now dependent on handouts, and of course, full of resentment against the people that help & feed them.

[agere_contra]

Hmm good question. I wonder how much they’d be able to pay the upkeep for.

[katana]

Whisky and .......... give me a minute ....... I know there’s something ......... uhhhhhhh ........... haggis?

“Something fishy about Sturgeon.”

Very Good...... :D
