Perhaps the ripping-up of big political and economic conglomerations - going back to the dismantling of the Soviet Union, and including the recent Brexit debacle and the hopes Brexiteers have of the EU falling-apart - will extend (or is extending) to the smaller political set-ups such as the "UK".
We shall see.

And then in 5 month's time brexit strikes. Have you build a brexit recovery fund yet?
Err, Have you?

"The occupied North???" What century are you living in?!
The RoI doesn't want the north, they couldn't afford a united Ireland, and that was before they just got screwed!

Sturgeon is a week behind the UK Government. She is useless - no leadership at all just the same old single policy of indyref 2 over and over again.
The people voted "no".
They will still vote 'no".
