Obviously Spain would not support Scottish secession as it would encourage Catalonian independence and seeing as Spain would have a veto over Scottish membership of the EU then poor old Nic must be very unhappy.

By “mess” do you mean the huge number of pop-ups because the name on the security certificate no longer matches the site? It's driving me insane.

Yes, that and other things. For instance when I put the first comment on this thread I didn't have to log in as it 'remembered' me but this time I had to log in as it didn't 'remember' me.
Also the layout seems to be mightily haphazard in how it decides which 'zone' articles are put. Some things are in politics which should be in economy and vice versa etc.

NO! NOT ARGENTINA. Now we'll HAVE to give in to the Spanish. They must be getting desperate if they're calling on the descendants of the Conquistadors.

Apparently Spain has called on Argentina for her help.

Ever increasing amounts of bluff and bluster from Nicola, desperately trying to make it look like she has some or other influence over events.

Where it is increasingly obvious she has next to none.

Pushed ever further towards a referendum that even if she wins, will not solve anything, only make it ten times worse.

She has been told they cannot stay in the EU when the UK leave, now it looks like they cannot re-join later either, even if they could meet the economic criteria for joining.

The uncomfortable truth for her is that Albania and Macedonia would be EU members before an independent Scotland.

So what is “plan B” for “protecting Scotland’s place in Europe”, do tell Nicola.
