  32.  @yorkiebuck  What has this got to do with Scotland?

  33.  @yorkiebuck  Surely Englands separatist brexit would have been seen as a green light? Not a requirement to join the euro, only if joining the eurozone. for example Danish krone is the currency of Denmark Sweden kruna is the currency of Sweden Polish zloty is the currency of Poland Englands brexit has imposed 27 borders on Scotland against our 62% majority that wanted to stay in EU. We would remove 27 borders and put up 1 and get Scotland access to the 448 million european single market, which is 7x larger than the UKs. And Westminster deals with a 28th customs border to the other 27 they'v put up on themself by leaving the eu single market & customs union

  34.  @yorkiebuck  Therefore we'l be able to collect 3 times more in customs revenue at the 28th customs border on top of the other 27 borders Westminster have put up on itself.

  45.  @hardyed3  Its not the SNP that passed the Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill in England, that curtails the right to protest in England, the Torie English government done that. The one they were protesting about a few weeks ago. (doesnt apply in Scotland as we have our own law system)
