The UK's nations and regions are being treated as if they were "invisible", the former PM warns.
The best change is the removal of Wee Jimmie Krankie and her unpleasant Scot Nats (what are 'Nats' in German?)

As a Scot let me point out that the vast majority here do not hate the English. What we do hate, as do a substantial number of our friends in England, is Tory rule at Westminster.
You mean a bit like the English despise Europe?
Why should the Scots not want to take back control of their nation and reclaim sovereignty from the faceless Westminster establishment and the UK superstate?

They currently use their powers to do the opposite of whatever Westminster do through deliberate contrarianism, or provide Westminster-funded SNP vote bribes like free uni tuition or free prescriptions. Would be interesting to see how many of those they were able to keep once independent.
The problem is that Queen Nic has brain-washed the Scots into hating England and the English too. Disgraceful woman - all will come out in the Salmond case. She's just a power crazy woman manipulating the Scottish population - without tax payers in England subsidising Scotland the country couldn't survive.
No they don't actually. They just want a bigger power base. Unfortunately we (yes I'm Scottish) are bankrupt but they are good at brainwashing.
I'll stick with a United Kingdom thank you very much.

Let the Scot's go, we can see how they can run their economy on their main export "anti English bigotry "
Read a Scottish HYS and you'll see how much the English hate the Scots.
as I know so called queen nic no she does not hate the English wholesale just the ones who think they are superior and treat us like a colony she believes and we are a country that should run it,s own show as a so called nat I am not fully anti English just the colonial type who think they are our masters we are not bigots
To quote Boris Johnson when he was editor of the Spectator in which he okayed a poem in the Spectator which said the 'Scottish people are a verminous race who should be exterminated.' So I think the despising is coming the other way.
If this was about making peoples lives better by breaking up one of the most succesful unions in history then I'd say go for it. But what improvement do people think is going to happen?
No, this about ideologues whipping up discontent to get votes by targeting nationalists and remainers and selling the dream of El Dorado in the EU. It doesn't exist, unless you dream about picking fruit in Romania.

Popular myth -Indy=hate English- I'm pro-Indy, as rich in English relatives as Scots, fond of them all and their circles, certainly no hatred...doesn't mean my country has same needs as their's and, if it is a union at all, needs must be listened to, respected; which they haven't been for most of my 55yrs, certainly from Callaghan onwards, often by unionist Scots (who I do think v little of)
The issue here is however the Scottish think Nikki Sturgeon is their savior(largely because she's been brainwashing them every evening for the last year). Unfortunately the pro Scotts brigade believe their financials will be backed by the Bank of England. Really?
We don't despise the "English". We just want to be Independent from rule by them.
I'm English and live in Scotland. I have always found my hosts, including SNP supporters to be friendly and welcoming. Where is the evidence that they despice us?
Can some people try to remember that there are Scottish people living in Britain that didn't want Brexit and don't want independence. They just want to live their lives as the British people they were born as. They don't want to have to read only the Scottish news to get their news. Please remember us. Because you say you don't care about us but we feel like one of you. So sick of ALL of this.
Posters beware despite nicola using the word mouse to describe Johnson , the word "Krankie" will be removed quickly

Gordon Brown & his mate Tony Blair ripped this country apart with unfettered immigration, ruining communities, whilst robbing pensions, selling gold reserves at a low valuation point & deregulating banks

I saw Nicola at the weekend talking about the need for democracy & Scottish people must have a vote to have their say. She should chock on the words because the Scottish people had their say more than once & said NO! She chooses to ignore this and tries to claims its democratic! I am sure if they ever vote yes she will say the people have spoken, there is no need for another vote! Hypocrite!!!
She's just the same as all the Remainers and all the others that are fanatical about a cause. You get to keep having votes until the desired result is achieved. Don't get the result you want, then just claim the public didn't understand ( condescending ? ) or it's not democratic. Jimmy Krankie represents the worst kind of politician.

If England had been given an independence referendum in 2014 we would have voted to leave the UK because it would have meant England being thrown out of the EU with no exit bill to pay and no Irish border to be bothered with. Northern Ireland and Scotland could have stayed in the EU and Wales could have voted with whom to stay.

"Between 1999 and 2002 the Treasury sold 401 tonnes of gold - out of its 715-tonne holding - at an average price of $275 an ounce, generating about $3.5bn during the period.
Gold price today 25/01/2020 = 1,864.23".
Yet again yet another idiot harking back to the fact that Brown sold some gold, in the scheme of things it made no difference. Only Conservative fools think it does. Removed

I listened to a radio programme today about the Nazis and the dreadful things they did.
The SNP are the same people as the Nazis.
They will do the same to the Scottish people unless they are faced head on and denied their nationalist agenda.
They lost the referendum.
It's over.Dont give an inch.
By pass Holyrood.
Uphold the referendum result

Lost the 2014 referendum on the agenda of guaranteed EU membership of Scotland. 2 years later English broke the promise and dragged the Scottish outside the EU againt their will.
What a vile, bigoted & innaccurate comment. If you did actually listen to a programme, you clearly failed to understand it. Numpty.
The marching stench that pollutes the streets of Scotland with their dirty ragged kilts and strangled wee dogs on string, are one of the sights tourists cannot afford to miss for sheer comedy, if they ever risk coming to this odiferous nationalist polluted country again while these clowns are still wandering the streets like stray incontinent sheep.

There is enough people with learning difficulties in England to vote for the tory party AND brexit so what is your point.
According to YouGov, people with the lowest levels of educational achievement actually voted for the Conservatives and Brexit Party in greater numbers in comparison to people with higher levels of education. Just saying.
Torys in the 80 & 90 getting personal secretaries pregnant and buying duck islands, Labour in the 2000s giving passports for London Dome funding, invading Iraq. Financial collapse Post It note saying all the £££ has gone Prescott punching a member of the public. Torys take us out of EU but only after4 years of messing about, time wasting and arguments

You can blame the govt for failing to even read the pandemic planning report they commissioned, learning from other nations and locking down earlier, sending sick people from hospitals to care homes without testing, repeatedly acting against advice etc etc

Well it started with your predecessor Gordon! War-criminal Blair who opened up the immigration flood-gates and destroyed much of the UK's unique character. You inherited the poisoned chalice, but didn't do much better. A fire-sale of the UK's gold stocks being one example. You're retired now. Go and find a nice quiet hobby, and stop behaving like the 'wise older statesman' you think you are.
You're obviously very worried about Scottish independence?

In the last Scottish Referendum in 2014,Putin interfered in favour of Scottish Independence! In the EU Referendum in 2016,Putin interfered in favour of Leave! Still nothing has been done to protect us from Russian & other foreign interference! Boris Johnsonov, Theresa Mayova, Jeremy Corbynov & most of the media including the BBC appear to look the other way/pretend this interference doesn't exist
Gordon Brown, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Remember "The Vow"? Seems to be a common strategy to wheel out GB to spout utter nonsense and waffle when faced with the prospect of Scottish independence. No credibility.
What do you expect, when the key parties are run by nutters. Excellent Orators of zero substance or value, jam tomorrow for all, just sound bites for the moment. Scotland will be independent because the poison of the little cranky has not been countered at all. Brexit is a fiasco, loved up by voters of little if any intellect, just suck up with avid love the speeches of wally’s.

Jeez, you really love those negative stereotypes, don't you? What a vile, bigoted post.
Except they use proportional representation and have attempted to engage with the Johnson [especially after the opinion poll] and their views and proposals have never even been discussed in Westminster] ... yet it’s the SNP’s fault eh?
'The model'... Well, you aren't very clear if you mean in UK GEs (FPTP) or in Scottish Assembly elections. As latter are done by PR, your claim would be fundamentally wrong. System encourages coalition building & SNP was the largest party. Assembly reflects the popular vote.
I'm sick to the back teeth of this separatist stuff, anyone with a bit of sense knows that an independent Scotland would be a basket case. If SNP politicians can guarantee me that we won't end up a poor nation then show how, if they are true to their word I promise I won't sue their ass off if everything goes so wrong. If you are wrong Nicola, its the guillotine, seems fair?!
Removed
It is not up to the First Minister - she has to persuade over 50% of Scots voters to support it......
A basket case? Please provide your economic proof. Bear in mind Scotland contributes c.5% to UK GDP but is just 8% of UK pop. Punches above its' weight?
Sue, eh? Maybe those businesses crippled by Brexit & by Johnson's Covid response, should sue. Maybe the families of those that died in Care Homes should sue.
To paraphrase Brexiteers, if the vote is for Indy, like it, lump it or leave.

Agree on every point.
British Nationalist? What on earth are you whittering about? NI is up to the people of the island of Ireland. Yes, I would be sad, on a personal basis, if Scot or Wales left the Union. But I understand some of the sentiment, especially in Scotland. But, as UK is still a democracy, I get to express my view on it. And it certainly isn't nationalist in any way.
No, dear, not illegal. A vote is not binding in perpetuity. If it was, we'd have one GE in a generation. People are allowed to change their minds, especially if circumstances fundamentally alter as they have in this case. In 2014, Stay Together made EU membership a cornerstone of their campaign. Stay in UK to stay in EU, they said. That is no longer the case. In fact, the very opposite is true.
Freakish comment
Yeah, have another referendum, we all love them so much. Only it should be UK-wide. There are many English would be happy to say goodbye to the Scots.
But there has to be a law to ensure that Scots Separatists do not go all 'Trumpy' about the result if they lose (again).
Democracy, it's just great when it delivers what you want isn't it?
Ask any American or SNP drone.

Ah yes.Gormless Gordon.His irresponsible spending was the sole cause of austerity, he bankrupted the UK will before the financial crisis which was minor by comparison.His bribery of the public sector unions and members was the most expensive act of corruption in British history,and who reneged on Labour's promise of a referendum, their threshold for which was met when he signed the Lisbon treaty.
Brown and Labour are finished in Scotland. But he will never understand that.
