You have got me completely wrong but there it is. Actually, I am genuinely interested in true answers and not at all in stupid point scoring which is all you seem to go in for. I actually thought (silly me) that after you highlighted the above, you might have given an answer but no. I could not care less what colour any passport might be nor where it is printed.
Here's my position and no doubt you'll just come back with your usual.
1. If there is a genuine and majority desire from the Scottish public, proved by consistent polls to have indyref 2 now or whenever, then I have no problem with that. I do think that in that case, it should be held but as yet, I've not seen the evidence for that.
2. If and when indyref 2 is held and the majority vote is in favour of independence then so be it. That is democracy and I will accept that result. I may not like it much and perhaps I'll be worried but it will be democratic in that case.
3, Gronnuck said in another place ''Given the situation we’re now in, what positivity for Scotland do you see in Boris Johnston, the Conservatives and the current Westminster government''?
I did not answer but no, none whatsoever. I've never voted Tory and never will and that's my dilemma. It is wrong that Scotland is governed by a party in Westminster that the people do not support but it does not necessarily follow for me that the default position is to break away from the Union with all the ensuing economic uncertainty and chaos and that is what, in my view, there will be. Many people in the rest of the UK are miserable about that too and actually, the Tories (like the SNP) have the MPs but not the majority of those who cast a vote. Things will change at Westminster too- they have done so many times in my lifetime and they will change again. I await the outcome of the much more democratic Scottish elections that are to be held next year with interest.
As it happens and despite everything, I absolutely am proud of being a citizen of Scotland and of the UK. I respect the Queen too who has served the UK all her life. There are many worse places to be and if it is so awful how come countless numbers of poor migrant people are risking their lives to get here each and every day.
4. I don't consider it unreasonable to want answers to fundamental questions that will absolutely affect me and the fact that you poor scorn on such things makes me extremely wary of you and your views. And there will be countless thousands of others like me out there who remain to be convinced.
