One SNP MP predicted another referendum “in the next two years”.
what, then, to make of this week’s utterance from her normally gung-ho Westminster colleague Pete Wishart? The latter is neither a surgeon nor, it feels uncontroversial to say, particularly smart or savvy, but he somehow seems to have detected a change in the wind.
In an article for iScot, one of those odd little pro-independence newsletters consumed only by diehards and MI5, he struck a cautious tone in relation to a new vote. “There is only one thing that determines my approach to a second independence referendum and that is winning it. Losing again is simply unthinkable and we have to ensure that we are as pragmatic as possible in ensuring that next time we get over the line... we must ensure that it is held under the optimum conditions for success.” While it was “possible” that an early vote could be called, “holding a second referendum only to lose it because the Scottish people weren’t ready would be the worst possible national tragedy. Holding [one] and losing when we could have won if we were just a bit more pragmatic about the timing would be even worse than that.”

And, as she also said, there are undoubtedly voters who backed Remain in 2016, and voted against independence in 2014, who now feel “the UK I voted to remain part of doesn’t exist”. I’m not immune to that sentiment myself. But the emotional and intellectual leap to backing the final break-up of Britain remains a considerable one.

If it’s not Scottish, IT’S CRAP!
Och mon, those Scattish blokes.
THIS is no doubt why we’ve been quietly removing nuclear materials from Scotland and flying them stateside.
Nobody wants them in the hands of an Independent Scotland that will be run by Sandinistas in kilts.
The problem with Scotland is that it's increasingly fill with non-Scots, just as the rest of the EU is. May should have implemented Brexit by now, that fact is, she was selected by anti-Brexit jokers to succeed Cameron. Regardless of anything she's said, her deeds show that she's working against Brexit every step of the way.
