Hmm, do I upvote because it's somewhat amusing or downvote because Nicola Sturgeon is a cunt? Tough decision.

She complains about incorrect apostrophe usage but types "pls" rather than "please" like a goddamn teenager?
JewAndMe4Ever
Character limits my friend
Promethianfire
Then be more efficient with language! Don't debase yourself.

No guys, I really want to know what happens to Traitor's question mark.
TheHankster
So what does happen to traitor's hang?
FuckTheLemonsAndBail
God i love auntie Nic
TheZulthar
The fact that she then used 'pls' annoys me to no end.

Fun fact. My name is Sean Sweeney and one time for art we did displays in the lunch room. Teacher printed the name Seans Weeney.

Is she fishing for attention?
imnotthatblonde
its getting that way, everything thats said politically in london she has to pop up and comment against
TCGView
Okay no one got my joke. Ouch.
imnotthatblonde
i noticed it, the thing is when you live with the shit she pulls, its a lot less funny
KoRplussomeletters
The hyphen is incorrect, that isn't how you spell "please" and you are missing the final full stop.
MakaveliCSGO
Character limits, Twitter has them. :)

i like Scotland more now since they're red-pilled vs Brexit
atlasman831
Comparing the SNP to theredpill is about as good a comparison as I've ever heard, to be fair...
mossysabertoothtiger
What's red pilled?
imnotthatblonde
basically taking the harder option, but tbh that whole going on is far from over

I'm amused at how many Englishmen are upset at the Scots daring to speak for themselves
lambaroo
yeah, pretty ironic calling her a traitor considering brexiteers' actions are highly likely to break up the uk
PieluverCaolan
Same thing could be said about people getting upset at UK citizens speaking for themselves

MrsBlake
It's more that the scots and the Uk are even more deeply entwined than with the EU. UK supports Scotland a fair ways financially
Thorsmightyarse
No it doesn't, the reverse is true.
MrsBlake
Scotland supports the UK, that what your getting at?
whitewater0034

whitewater0034
I just assumed that London would be the place that pays the most and gains the least.But wow, they are the hub.
MrsBlake
You also need to take into account how much is spent on social services in Scotland vs UK - their university's are still free.
whitewater0034
Probably a lot to take into account, not sure why it was dv as I was just supplying sources. Imgur is not the place for this really.
SixFootFive
This is probably just me being an ignorant Englishman, but shouldn't she wait? If she wants a referendum then cool, but...(1/2)
LasciviousHedgehog
The cynic in me suspects its to force the UKGov to adopt a more Scotland friendly negotiating stance with the EU during Brexit
imnotthatblonde
it likely is but also may has to be shrewd going into negotiations and not giving concessions left and right
TimmehCaster
Maybe this isn't the place for political debate...ah, too late!
QuackersParty
...you never know when the Great Old Ones will emerge from the depths and render politics more meaningless than it already is(2/2)
TheBurpyPony
Some Scots claim that London doesn't help them, yet also believe that a German finance minister in Brussels will be more attentive.
SixFootFive
Given how messed up the next few years are gonna be while negotiating with the EU, wouldn't it be worth waiting it's all sorted?
LRonHubbardsOldMother
She's aiming at 2018/19.
GNious
When "it's all sorted", Scotland will be out of the EU along with the rest of UK, and would have to re-apply through lengthy process.
GonzoDrifter
The government will be heavily focused on dealing with brexit and will not have the time to do a stay campaign. She's a devious bitch.....
IWishPeopleWouldStopStealingMyUsernames
You're an idiot - and exactly the sort of pillock that one would expect to vote Brexit and try and drag everyone down with you
SixFootFive
1) I voted Remain 2) Please explain how wanting more information on a subject I'm unfamiliar with makes me a pillock
SchoolsUndefiable
SkyGuyTheGuy
Also there is an argument to be made that brexit will be less likely if UK knows they would loose Scotland in the process. /shrug
ThatIsMyPassword
Better for them to get out now since they'll have to negotiate their own trade deals after they split anywho. No need for em to do it twice.
charlie2979
She's much more likely to win a referendum now than in two years. Not about what's best it's all about what she wants.
SizeOfaChaffinch
It might be more about making sure her country's inhabitants still have the option of a lifeboat before May singlehandedly pulls the plug
charlie2979
Either way Scotland leaves the EU. It's politics nothing more.
SizeOfaChaffinch
Umm...Politics is what it's all about. What everything is about. Lead or be led.. I know which I'd prefer
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
When the boat hits an iceberg, you leave before the ship sinks.
PolarHailStorm
It does look like she's trying to pull the move Cameron did. 'I'll give them the referendum, I'll get voted in next election!'
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Cameron called for the referendum to shut up the far right, believing the voters would not be swayed by lies/propaganda and vote no.
PolarHailStorm
That still 'gives people what they want' and gets him voted in once more on the back of it. It was personal gain for him too.
PolarHailStorm
Not if there's no guarantee the lifeboats will get you to safety.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Yes, you would because you KNOW the ship is sinking.
PolarHailStorm
Sure is. But being stuck in a lifeboat doesn't guarantee safety, aid or rescue either, you walnut. Out of the frying pan and all that.
LtShed
my understanding is that the want indyref2 to be in 2018/19 after the full brexit deal is public, but before its enacted
DrKriegersClone
Westminster used continued EU membership as a campaign point in advocating Scots not vote for independence. I'd be pissed too.
purplephonecase
Having questions doesn't make you ignorant. A lot of us Scots who were (NO) at Indyref1 are torn. We've been fucked over by Westminster +
purplephonecase
Holyrood. But I voted no on the basis I knew the oil claims were bullshit and EU membership...now, like many, I'm more open to chancing it.
imnotthatblonde
im on the hedge with the eu thing, ive seen some of the close up and dirty of the eu through work and not sure ill be sad to see it go
purplephonecase
I'm not blind to the faults. I just figured EU Vs Westminster mitigated enough on both sides.
imnotthatblonde
id probably prefer westminster if it was one or the other, the more i think about the eu the more... unbothered i am about leaving
purplephonecase
Either way, times are going to be hard.
Batmanstwin
Do you think the vote should be after negotiations or before?
purplephonecase
I think that the vote should have been proposed for 2020 or 2024. But that comes from the belief that referenda should not be a regular
themexicanwave
SNP aren't asking for it now but in 18-24 months. Should know brexit position/deal but still be before exit (I think) perfect timing imo
TheMightyMoto
What did Sturgeon do that makes her a traitor?
orgeezuz
She betrayed
WowThatUsernameIsSoOriginal
ask to redo referendum on scottish independence
BlinkAndImGone
Dared to propose a second scottish independence referendum since England is well set to leave EU
TheMightyMoto
Oh, so did what we all knew was going to happen cause of brexit. Gotcha.
SixFootFive
The Welsh voted for it too, it's not all on us.
lambaroo
safe to say the welsh are english lapdogs. they were gaining much more from eu membership than anywhere else in uk. sorry wales, needs said.
mthrndr01
That's like pointing to your special needs baby and saying, "Hey, she shit on the floor too, it wasn't just me."
DC1888
The UK is leaving the EU not just England.
lambaroo
....unfortunately.
DC1888
In your opinion.
lambaroo
in majority scottish opinion, not mine. and it's "unfortunate" as little englanders show so little concern & foresight about the uk's future
CoolioBeanios
The UNITED KINGDOM voted to leace the EU, we didnt vote as four nations, we voted as one.
themexicanwave
Only English see it that way. We (Scotland), overwhelmingly voted to remain.
HappySpandex
true, but your votes would have effected us has it been the other way, thats what you agree to when you take a vote.
themexicanwave
But it can NEVER be the other way can it? If you took Scotlands vote out of the last 30 gen elections it wouldn't make a bit of difference.
ikbenlike
Almost all regions mostly voted to stay, it was mostly England that voted leave
CoolioBeanios
Most of England AND Wales, if we had voted as seperate nations abd pooled resultes then you would have a case but we didnt and you dont.
ikbenlike
Most people not in England feel ignored because they voted to stay, while most people in England voted to leave
CockOfTheNorth
Exactly
CoolioBeanios
Also the EU has said repeatedly that it wouldnt want Scotland yet that hag keeps pushi g for referendum after referendum until she gets the
CoolioBeanios
Result she wants, Scotland is better with the UK and would sink and colapse on its own because we are the only ones who will have it.
