Brexit. We’re out!

[Midwest]

Lots and lots of varied points of view here. I think some of you are wasted in your electrical profession. Should have been in politics.

I know, and we’ve not even started on the Welsh yet. Oooops forgot about sparkychick.

For the record... I'm English... I just live here, but don't get me started on the Welsh Assembly... useless bunch of muppets... they spout a pro-EU position and wanted to remain despite most of Wales voting to leave. Dominated by Labour and Plaid Cymru who both appear to be completely and utterly out of touch with the people of Wales.

Haha, does that mean you need to apply to indefinite leave to remain

SNP getting on with the day job again
Removing tax breaks from private schools (remember state schools don't get them at all)

PRIVATE schools will be stripped of controversial tax breaks from the start of the next academic year under plans put forward by the SNP.

And yet you STILL don't intend to keep voting for them.

I will until we get independence then i become a cheap tart and will think about other parties - remember the list system (a SNP vote in the list is sometimes a waste of time)

 

[R-fur]

I am with Baldelectrician, I am much more Yes than SNP but I will continue to vote SNP until there is a credible altenative. The SNP have many faults but they are the only party that puts Scotland first. Labour and conservatives just do what their bosses in Westminster say.

 

[littlespark]

You watch Westminster on telly, or the scottish parliament... (don't know about welsh) but you just start think to yourself:

"Get a professional in"

I just wonder how the split will would be enabled; NHS, Military, Infrastructure.

Generally the only thing Brexit that needs negotiation is trade. What will you do with your currency, military establishment, medical care to able us to split? The list is endless.

I’ve read various articles from various sources over the past few years that say education in particular, but also healthcare, justice and policing are in turmoil in Scotland. Yet all we ever hear is how great the SNP are. Seems like nobody holds them to account and they are swindling the good people of Scotland with their ‘freebies’. I’d rather pay a bit for a good education/healthcare than get a shoddy one for free.

The NHS in Scotland is already split- there are no healthcare trusts here, trusts are required to work together and NOT compete.
The SNP have already merged health and social care (3 years ago)

The military is a joke - the Scottish regiments are mainly disbanded and the mostly train outside Scotland, there is a £1.2 bn under spend in Scotland - ie more is raised in Scotland by Westminster than is spent in Scotland
There are NO fishery protection vessels based in Scotland despite Scotland having over 70% of the UK's maritime waters
All the destroyers and frigates are based in Scotland

Once independent we can build ships etc in Scotland and actually get some. Remember before the indyref 1 the UK promised 22 frigates / destroyers and a centre of excellence in shipbuilding. That didn't happen and we got 3 ships and the rest going out to re-tender.

Infrastructure- the stuff physically in Scotland will become Scottish on the day of independence

We’ll want all our ships back then.

That's the point- none are based in Scotland . We will build our own using Scottish ship yards
