Isn't everyone?

He and the Fish Woman have a great deal in common. Neither of them have anything to say that they haven't said time and time again ad nauseam. They are both nothing more than cracked records and have become absolutely boring a long time ago.

Yes. We should certainly have our own parliament.

I suppose they might argue that we English have the Westminster parliament. Well, yes we do but, as mentioned above, I seem to hear more from the Scottish Windbag in Westminster than I hear of English MPs!

Of course England should have its own Parliament. Be interested in your thoughts of a Federal set up? Blackford is playing the Westminster game. He’s there to make the SNP heard and to provoke the sort of response evident on this thread.

Loud but hardly a bully, He’s doing what he was sent there to do. If you ask me and the majority of Scots, Scotland’s biggest embarrassment is the sectarianism evident in some parts of the country and displayed for all to see in such places as Ibrox and Parkhead.

Re: Devolved English Parliament

I can't understand the Scots.
A majority voted for remaining in the Union.
A majority voted for remaining in the EU.

Presumably these were two different majorities!

SNP always seem to say that everything is worst for Scotland and the English are responsible.

UK leaving the EU is complicated enough. Scotland leaving the UK would be a great shame, independence from us but not the EU. Most baffling.

Re: Devolved English Parliament

What grinds my gears is the utter hypocrisy of the Scots.

Vote against BREXIT which was in order to REgain British independence, and yet continually whinge that THEY want independence from the UK.

That's just a very vocal minority. Scotland voted to remain in the UK 55%/45% but for the SNP that was the wrong answer.
