Perhaps she thinks we should have stayed in the CFP?
Pugol is representing Tories. Not Scots. The FACT and TRUTH is that when Scottish boats fly the Independent flag of a Free Scotland they will be able unimpeded to fish their own waters AND those protected by the EU Scotland will rejoin, and there is nothing the liars at #10 will be able to do about it!

Nicola: Draft your Declaration of Independence from Brexit, and announce it before Scots vote for freedom from Tories who represent not one inch of Scotland. The longer Scots suffer under Brexit, the damage it will do to Scotland will be unfairly dear.
Alba gu bràth!!

If an independent Scotland (and this is a very big if) were able to re-join the EU, the fishing would be part of the price to be paid.

Exactly how then does dear Nicola intend to deliver fishing for Scotland???
Never mind “independence” with a 9% deficit, on current levels of spending, without the significant additional costs of running a country.
No currency, an economy struggling, an educational system sinking lower each year, a health service struggling before Covid and 70%+ of all business done with the rest of UK.
Not to mention how many people are employed directly by the UK Gov/Military or build ships for the RN.
Meanwhile, no effort spared in the drive for independence, fiddle, Scotland. burn.
If you cared anything for the people of Scotland, rather than an idealistic or worse political ideology, you would think twice about recommending a course of action for them, which would make Scotland one of the poorest countries in Europe.
Have some +'s you eenz.
