Haven't heard that particular phrase yet. Though to be expected.
I'm not a blind follower of Nicola, far from. Nor do I get paid for blowing her horn. But I think she made the right move to show her intentions and be decisive about it. That's more than can be said about any halfar**d six pack from London over the last few days. That woman has got her work cut out for her and it's the toughest job any politician north of the border has had for decades if not centuries. Make no mistake, this will be difficult for all of us. But I trust she up for it.
Try and stop us, Brian. Maybe Erica will lend you a hand. :D
No, that's news to me. As far as I can see, unless things have changed, if Scotland had voted for independence she would have been removed from the EU. Any future successful vote for the same would still have the same outcome. Scotland would have to apply then accept the terms of all new EU joiners (adopting the Euro etc).
Here's some reading:

Mate, I really wonder. This is what we already do right now, isn't it? And, sorry to say it again, there is not a single rule or guideline over the last 15, 20 or 30 years that doesn't bear the signature of Her Majesty's Government. None of what you bang on about was decided against the UK. I know that you have reason to be more than cross with things. But it would help us all a lot if we started calling out the real bad guys here. That's the governments you and I voted for. You probably more than me but I won't hold it against you, man.
Haha. I see what you did there.
And who says the Germans don't have a sense of humour?
Yeah, edgy and clever stuff there, Herr Doktor. :D

I always think that people who do that are terminally stupid and regardless of what they write on their ballot paper they've effectively just wasted their hard-won vote. Who is going to read their blunt message to the political establishment I wonder? Oh, a rather disgruntled election official, no doubt. How novel. Still, you can't fix stupid.
A voter tried to show what he thought of his local conservative MP during a recent
election, by drawing a penis in the box beside his name. BUT...
As he had kept the drawing within the box, it was deemed a valid vote ! :))
No that's spooling the paper which I agree is pointless.
What @SpectreNumberTwo was alluding to, I think, was the notion of having 'none of the above' actually on the ballot paper which is quite different and would send home the message 'we think you're all shit' when it romped home with a landslide.
I think I would have voted for that the last 4 general elections in a row.
Brexit was the slightly less objectionable option to voting remain and sending the message to Cameron and the EU 'Carry on' but I wasn't that happy to be forced into voting it.
Watched that as well, priceless. =))
That's true, but I can also see @Dragonpol point taking the time to go to the polling station only to spoil your ballot paper is incredibly dickish.
Nigel Farage says his goal has been reached. But smart people know that now the most difficult job has to start: The real exit process. And for that he doesn't care. He doesn't care at all for the future of the UK people. And if you say "I want my life back", then you don't give a shit about other people's lifes. Go home and never come back you coward.
And he will receive that until one year after his resignation as MEP. Sadly, we don't hear anything saying that this could be seen as stealing from the EU and EU citizens.
EU defenders should turn their anger on the EU set up that pays them
so much for so little. :)) still, Not the UK's problem any more.
Very much agreed, @SpectreNumberTwo. Farage is indeed an ass. He promised spending on the NHS even though Ukip has only one MP in Westminster and lost their second one at the 2015 General Election. Farage promised things he could never deliver. Hopefully Ukip will now fade away and those on the right will continue to vote for the Conservatives and reject Ukip's false promises that they can never deliver upon. I'd wager that Farage did the LEAVE camp more harm than nay good he brought them. It was Johnson and Gove & Co. who really delivered the LEAVE win but that won't stop Farage from claiming that he was instrumental. He's never been shy of blowing him own trumpet.
You forget one ONE pivotal point here. And it seems that many in here suffer from selective memory loss. But regardless what I think of Nigel Farage now, it was the UKIP and Nigel Farage on front who firmly fueled a possible Brexit referendum. The very word 'Brexit' originated from him.
And because of that, the Conservative Party got nervous, as the establishment party leadership didn't want the more anti-EU-minded, far-right wing walk over to the UKIP side. The result may be that the UKIP hasn't got any but one seat in the House Of Commons. And factually it may seem that the Conservative Party seems like a steady ship in which all noses point in the same direction.
But we know that's bullocks. To understand the cowardness of Nigel Farage, and his first bit of leadership towards a referendum, one has to equally understand the ideological cowardness of the Tories. In my book you are either for or against the EU or the British cause. But Cameron is equally to blaim for this mess and the way he said 'yes' and then 'no' and then 'yes' and then 'no'. Cameron was naive enough that he could keep the UK into the EU after the February negotiations. But before that he sounded differently.
In my opinion not only Nigel Farage, but the entire establishment right of center side of British politics showed a huge defeat. Not just Nigel Farage, but also Boris Johnson and David Cameron. It's a humiliation for British politics. And Michael Gove IMO clearly represents that.
Let's hope Theresa May can bring back some common sense AND some more inspiring and ideological leadership that doesn't look like this:
