    George Galloway Brilliantly Breaks Down What Will Happen If Scotland Leaves The UK

    Scottish UK politician and former MP, broadcaster, writer, and Lexiteer (a portmanteau of being left-wing and Brexiteer,) George Galloway, brilliantly outlined exactly what Scotland risks losing by leaving the United Kingdom.


    21st December 2019



    Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has repeatedly called for Boris Johnson to grant Scotland the power to hold another referendum on independence from the United Kingdom. Scotland previously had a referendum in 2014 where the country voted to remain part of the UK but following last week's general election, where the SNP won 48 seats, Ms Sturgeon has continuously called for Indyref2. However, Mr Galloway questioned if independence would actually benefit Scotland.

    Mr Galloway said: "If you want to be independent why would you leave a Union in which you have a considerable say to join a Union in which you will be tiny dot on the map.

    "Why would you leave a Union with whom you have more than 300 years of common experience, a common language, and a gigantic market for your goods and services?

    "Absolute free movement between your country and England, why would you do that in order to hook up with Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria and the rest? With which you have absolutely nothing in common, either historically, culturally, linguistically, or economically."



    Mr Galloway questions why the SNP want to leave the UK


    Scotland would have to switch their currency to the Euro upon joining the EU

    "Why would you leave a country where you have a single currency and apply to join the Euro which operates in the interest of the very central places?" (The UK pound is currently stronger than boththe US dollar and Euro.)

    Earlier this week the SNP leader was brutally attacked by Conservative Jackson Carlaw over the SNP's NHS record in Scotland.

    The Scottish Conservative Party leader savaged Ms Sturgeon during Scottish First Minister Questions as he named multiple targets the Scottish NHS has failed to meet during the time the SNP has been the largest political party in Scottish Parliament.

    Mr Carlaw said: "Well First Minister, here is the current score.

    "The 12 week treatment time guarantee - missed and never met.

    "The 18 week referral to treatment - missed.

    "The 6 week wait for diagnostics - missed.

    "The 18 week wait for psychological treatment - missed.

    "The 18 week mental health target, missed."


    Mr Carlaw is the Scottish Conservative Party leader

    The autonomous Scottish Parliament in the U.K., below. (England is the only nation in the U.K. without its own autonomous parliament and autonomous government and representation, and has no First Minister for England.Currently Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish MP's can make decisions in the UK Houses of Parliament in Westminster on matters which only affect the people who live in England - but English MP's aren't allowed to intervene in the autonomous Scottish Parliament or in the Welsh and Northern Irish Assemblies. This issue is known as the West Lothian Question and English Question.)

    Scottish First Minister SNP Nicola Sturgeon’s plot to sell out Scottish fisheries with Brexit block - EXPOSED


    Cornish and Scottish fishermen, along with fishermen all over the British Isles have, for so many years now, been strongly opposed to the EU's controls and restrictions over their fishing rights. UK Independence (Brexit) will allow the UK to take back control of our fishing waters and fishing laws.

    The Scottish can't be independent if they remain governed and controlled by unelected foreign EU Presidents and Eurocrats in Brussels who make the vast majority of the EU states laws and control the fishing waters. The Scottish won't be able to make their own laws or control their fisheries under the EU.

    Nicola Sturgeon confronted and blasted on SNP's betrayal 'Have you been honest with Scottish fisheries?'

    Sturgeon’s laughable solution to Scottish fishermen wanting to block EU from waters

    She's often been shown in the media as copying Boris's words in speeches about independence from the EUSSR - when she talks about Scottish Independence.... 'take back our border, our laws, our independence...' etc. Some interviewers have even interrupted her and said she sounds like Brexiteers, lol. She blushes and says 'oh no I don't...' The irony. Some vloggers have even played her statements back word-for-word with Boris.



    Scottish Independence Referendum (a.k.a. 'Indyref2'.)

    Nicola Sturgeon will today call on Scotland to “come together” to force Boris Johnson to give Holyrood the power to hold a second referendum on independence as the SNP insisted it was now the “real opposition to an extreme Tory Government” at Westminster given Labour’s disarray.

    The First Minister will make a statement to MSPs, urging them to unite against the “threats posed by a majority Tory Government and impending Brexit”.

    It will be followed by a letter to the Prime Minister, urging him – in light of the Nationalist landslide - to agree to transfer power from Westminster to Holyrood so that Edinburgh can hold indyref2 in 2020 to “escape Brexit”; a request he will flatly refuse. Days before the election, Mr Johnson told The Herald that while he remained in Downing St he would never facilitate indyref2 and the 2014 vote was “for good”.

    Speaking ahead of her statement in the Scottish Parliament, Ms Sturgeon argued that the call for a second poll was winning increasing support, pointing out how over the weekend senior Scottish Labour figures said they now accepted the argument in light of the SNP’s election landslide.

    She noted how Labour MSPs might not yet support independence but recognised a “fundamental democratic principle…is now at stake”.

    Ms Sturgeon explained, how in the 1990s with the prospect of a fourth Tory Government with no mandate in Scotland there was a coming together of parties, communities and civic Scotland to create a Scottish Parliament.



    SMH. She said that UK Independence Party voters who want independence from the EUSSR are 'vile and racist' - yet she praises Scottish nationalism and seeks independence from the U.K. as the leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party.


    Faced with the “new danger” of Tory Brexiteers seeking to reshape Scotland and the UK in their right-wing image, she said: “I hope in the coming days and weeks we will see a similar coming together around the idea of Scotland’s right to choose.”

    She added: “We are facing a Conservative Government, which Scotland did not vote for and which presents a real danger to our country.




    “The Scottish Parliament has a duty to protect the values that people in Scotland voted for. We can only fully do that with independence and that is why later this week I will take the next steps to secure Scotland’s right to choose.”

    At Westminster, her colleague Ian Blackford was asked about those next steps and whether they would include a court challenge.

    “Let’s take things step by step over the coming days. Of course, we have game-planned this; we have worked out a strategy…We have a very strong case,” he declared.

    Asked again, the Highland MP again refused to reject the possibility of taking the Tory Government to court, saying: “We will come out with our plans later this week; let’s put the proposition to the Government and take it from there.”

    Under the shadow of Rodin’s Burghers of Calais statue next to the House of Lords, Mr Blackford headed a photocall of the 47-strong SNP force at Westminster.

    After cheers, hugs and kisses, he told reporters gathered in the failing light: “Let me say to Boris Johnson: the SNP won the election in Scotland.

    “We won 80 per cent of the seats in Scotland. The Tories fought on one simple message; say no to indyref2. Well, Boris you got your answer; you lost more than half your MPs; you trailed 20 points behind the SNP; respect democracy; respect the Scotland people and recognise we should have that power to determine the timing of that referendum.”

    Urging the PM to face up to reality, it was suggested to the party leader that neither he nor Ms Sturgeon could do anything if Mr Johnson continued to say no.

    “We’ll see about that,” declared Mr Blackford, “because it’s not a good look for Michael Gove or Boris Johnson or anyone else to turn round to the people of Scotland and say it doesn’t matter if you vote for a party and you give it a mandate, we’re going to ignore you. Where is the democracy in that? All he is doing is pushing people towards the SNP.”



    He thanked Scottish Labour figures for their “generosity of spirit” in accepting the SNP had a mandate for indyref2 and claimed: “This movement towards having a referendum is unstoppable. It’s simply the wrong thing to do for the Conservatives to stand in the face of that. This referendum is coming, it will happen and the sooner they recognise that the better.”

    Mr Blackford claimed it was "completely bogus" to say that the Scottish people had already had their once-in-a-generation say on the future of Scotland.

    “The simple fact of the matter is in 2014 when we had that referendum we were told that if we stayed in the UK that our rights as EU citizens would be respected; that promise has been broken and those changes of circumstances and the mandate that the Scottish Government won to the Scottish Parliament in 2016, it is right that we have that referendum," he declared.

    When it was pointed out that Mr Johnson had a mandate from the whole of the UK that obliged him to refuse the SNP’s demand, given the Tory manifesto commitment not to facilitate indyref2, Mr Blackford replied: “Boris Johnson lost the election in Scotland. It is the SNP that has a mandate from the Scottish people and that mandate must be honoured.”

    Reiterating how the UK Government’s continued intransigence would be a “recruiting sergeant for the SNP,” the MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber asserted: “This is a losing hand that Boris Johnson holds. We will have that referendum; it’s better that that is done in the short term rather than having a protracted wrangle over this. Scotland will have the right to choose its future.”

    Mr Blackford insisted with other parties "subsumed by internal divisions and acrimony, the SNP will provide real and effective opposition, challenging Boris Johnson's devastating plans every step of the way". He said the Nationalists would hold the Tory Government to account in the "face of Brexit, austerity cuts, the threat to our NHS and the climate crisis".

    After some Labour figures, including MSPs Monica Lennon and Neil Findlay, suggested the SNP did, in the wake of their election landslide, have a mandate to call for a second independence vote, Pamela Nash, Chief Executive of Scotland in Union, took to social media to say: “Pretty scunnered by Labour figures saying that the vote on Thurs was a mandate for #indyref2.

    “It clearly wasn’t, majority voted for pro-UK parties and SNP campaigned on ‘Stop Brexit’, many saying this is why they voted for SNP & even Nicola Sturgeon acknowledged this on Friday.”

    Ged Killen, the former Labour MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West, who on Sunday accepted the SNP had a mandate to demand indyref2, revealed he had received “lots of not unexpected criticism” for his intervention.

    But he noted: “Remember it was the Tories who agreed to the first indyref because the SNP won a mandate but now the pro-UK strategy appears to rely on denying the question, instead of defeating the argument. How sustainable is that in the long term?”

    The Scottish Tories tweeted: “Labour are willing to cave-in to the SNP's demands for #IndyRef2. Scottish Conservatives will always stand up for the decision we took to remain in the United Kingdom.”

    We would need to place border controls between Scotland and England and have border checks whenever people travel between the two countries, in order to prevent illegal migrants and future refugees to the EU states from illegally entering England via Scotland.
