To be honest, at this point would it be a bad thing if Scotland ditched the Pound? I can't see it ever recovering to the same levels it once was.

This seems pretty alarmist. Is it not too early to say 'well, this poo poo is non-recoverable'

Eh, maybe. I'm not sure the EU would be happy if our currency was still in Pounds which is also the currency of a non-EU member though. I think if we were to join the EU, we'd have to either switch to Euro or adopt our own currency.

Is Pissflaps the epitome of "British public wrong about very nearly everything" or something?

Can't sleep, but I'm raging that large parts of Scotland were stupid enough to vote Tory. gently caress sake, if the Tories get in because of Scotland, I'll pretty much never forgive this country.

Basically, in the inevitable next general election which will be called within a year because the coalition with the DUP is going to break down hard, both Scottish Labour and the SNP need to completely refocus their efforts. SNP need to ditch any notions for Indyref 2 and Scottish Labour need to stop being so useless and incompetent to the point they were actually telling voters to vote Tory over the SNP. Kezia Dugdale especially needs to get the boot and replaced with those loyal to Corbyn. Then they need to campaign hard, so hard to win over those who were disenfranchised with both parties and instead of fighting each other over independence, instead turn the knives to the Tories and what they've done and what they're going to do.

Scotland going Tory can be recovered from. I'm pissed that it happened and disgusted that people I know have voted Tory and are the reason I now have a Tory MP. But it's not irreversible.
