Sister Ruth has her say

[Rangersmandownunder]

In her speech, Ms Davidson will accuse the Nationalists of seeking to make gains from the current turbulent times.
She will also insist that memories of the "divisiveness and toxicity" of the 2014 referendum campaign mean that most Scots do not currently support staging another vote on the issue.
She will say: "The SNP is, as usual, trying to seize on a moment of doubt and uncertainty to declare that the shining star of independence is the answer.
"And it's trying to claim that, as a result of Brexit, there is now a massive groundswell for a second independence referendum.
"This is simply not true. Even after the EU vote, only four in 10 people in Scotland say there should be an independence referendum."
Ms Davidson will point out that less than two years ago people in Scotland voted "quite clearly" to stay part of the UK.
"Indeed two million people voted to do so, more than the 1.6 million in Scotland who voted to remain within the EU," she will say.
"And it is also because people's memories of the divisiveness and toxicity of that independence referendum campaign are still fresh - and many people don't want to revive them."
'Stability and security'
The Tory MSP will claim that "bluster" from senior SNP MPs that a second referendum will now happen is "utterly unjustified and it is completely irresponsible".
She will say: "Unjustified because our decision to remain part of the United Kingdom less than two years ago must be respected - as the SNP promised it would do.
"And irresponsible because it only piles uncertainty on top of uncertainty. It is time the SNP put the national interest before its own Nationalist vision for once.
"You cannot uphold the EU referendum result in Scotland as sacrosanct while trashing the Independence referendum vote we held just 22 months ago.
"And you don't solve the questions around leaving one union by walking out on an even more important one."

Wether you or Ruth like it or not,but Scotland will be independent within 5 years.
People who are 55 and under will be in the majority and want a Scotland that is still in the E U,the scot/Brits who voted NO are dying ,the ties to the war of 39/45 are also fading.

Leaving the EU will be disastrous for Scotland,we've enough friends within the E U to not let it happen and independence is the only answer,the young especially want to stay within the EU.

To the Scottish National Party, the two are indivisible, so that really was a stupid remark by Ms Davidson

Do you believe that all politicians put what they believe to be the best interests of the country before their own best interests or indeed those of their political party?

Complete hogwash, Scotland can thrive outside of the EU, removing ties to its greatest trade partner is another matter though.

Quite, Sturgeon sees breaking up the Union as her Waterloo, as did Salmond, she is the definitive career politician.

[Taintedice]

Which irrelevant unionist party is this wan fae. It's a fact that Scottish people want independence as a majority voted in favour at the referendum. so best these westminster lackeys get their heads round that if they want to improve on their ONE mp apiece

I believe that a nationalist party believes that independence is the best thing for their country...

Which ties would be removed exactly?
