- Political correspondent at The Sunday Times in Scotland, John Boothman, speaks to Kevin O’Sullivan about the Independence movement 10 years on from the referendum.
In 2014, 55% of voters rejected independence and supported remaining part of the UK.
A decade on, John says “the movement is in complete disarray”.

When are the English going to get a vote on keeping or cutting loose this glorified county council of a country.
Just a council, a glorified council
SNP got greedy. No to independence I’m Scottish.
Laugh is those who want Scottish independance are the same folk who'd be offended if England said "go on,clear off then" both those can't be true.
wrong
Scottish independence isn't independence if they then join the E.u. again.
Fools.

That would be nice but since your English court said we can’t leave, we have to keep subsidizing little England
Uk court
As a British person I was very glad to see Scottish separation defeated.
How could any person who values stability and this country, support breaking it up?
Diictators from the outside failed to break the British, so we should not destroy ourselves.
The thing is that a lot of Scottish identify much more with Scotland than they do with the UK, so they see independence as emancipation from an occupying state which makes decisions which aren't in their interest. And I can't blame them tbh
Many people in Scotland, including myself, see themselves as Scottish not British. You really don't get it at all
@@James-tv4pl Well, perhaps they should speak to people who actually do live in occupied states. Then their romanticized feelings of victimhood would quickly evaporate.
@@pauldonaldson6067It's not possible to be ' Scottish not British.'
All Scottish people are British,
but of course not all British people are Scottish. Others British include:
English, Welsh, Northern Irish, Gibraltarians and Falklanders.
@@Themanyfacesofego Northern Irish, Gibraltans, Falklanders are not British. They do not live in Great Britain, it's that simple. The Scottish are British but as I was saying a lot of them like to identify as Scottish first because they feel a greater attraction to their country than they do to the UK
They will wait as long for indy as the people of Scotland wait on the outcome of the investigation into the financial goings on
@@kevinrobb86
The English establishment will never investigate themselves
They destroyed their dream through their own incompetence.
Alex was right, the Scots had their last chance for 100 years back in 2014.
But they didn't have the bottle - as it were - for it.
I'm British, not Scottish stuff. Scottish Independence does not mean no plus voted for Brexit. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
At least Sturgeon has aged well
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She wouldn't look out of place in Cell Block H (Australian TV show from years back)
Thats all the booze she has been drinking. In fairness if i was about to go to jail for corruption I'd probably develop a drinking problem too.
And of course, Yousaf is a hamas sympathiser !
Frankly Cameron was an utter fool and let out of jail by the hard working No campaign and the good sense of the majority of Scots. He conceded every advantage to Salmond, in allowing a ridiculously long campaign [2 years], letting them set the question, Yes No, lowering the voting age from 18 to 16, and barring upwards of 800,000 ex patriot Scots the vote. No future British PM will concede such ground, for example the question would almost certainly be Leave or Remain. Recent polls asking this question show Remain at around 60%
Totally agree - he was reckless - no UK prime minister will do that again.
To expand on my exclusion of expats. That included civil servants working elsewhere, armed forces men and women etc. How many of them would vote to make themselves foreigners in the country of their birth?
David Cameron only promised a Referendum if Conservatives had an overall majority which nobody expected but just days before Election Labour MPs said they had spoken to SNP who were prepared to support a Minority Labour Govt and Millerbtamd Leader of Labour did not immediately reject it and that day Millions of Labour Voters decided not to vote Labour as they all despised the SNP and that is why Cameron won a Majority SO SNP AND LABOUR ARE GUILTY OF BREXIT
Independence supporters (not natural Talk TV listeners) would be more than happy if England did the job for us and took their own independence Ask yourself why does the British state want to hold on to us ?
put your faith and trust in elites.....they'll fix it right up
If London had a vote for Independence then it well could become a subsidiary or Asia. Not a good idea.
There is no appetite for indy when Labour are in power in Westminister , for some reason those who want Scottish indy also kinda like Labour so they all take a chill pill.
another wrong one , i don't know any nationalist that kinda likes Labour or the Tories.
Brits give Scotland full independence
As a Englishman I would happily vote for Scottish independence, sick and tired of subsidizing this.
@@Beauloqs aha ha ha .....Its us subsidizing England's overpopulated country for decades ........If we leave you will have to buy it instead of taking it and giving us back a pittance to run a country. Do the research and read the facts.
Scottish independence isn't independence if they then join the E.u. again.
Fools.
@@Beauloqs London is the most subsidised part of the UK
That’s bollox
England need independence to survive
LOL - if the UK Governed well then people would want to stay.... have we forgotten about Liz Truss, Read Rory Stewarts book (Politics On the Edge) - Westminster is a mess. Unionist need to start talking about how they are going to sort the Union out. Plan please.
England needs independence to survive
Look forward to it truth is you can't afford too.
So true ,England would fold without Scotland
We are not aloud to have a vote by the high court that's the issue so it's not a democracy
😂😂😂😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Democracy requires the losers to also accept the results. Maybe try doing that...
England need independence to survive
If that were true Scotland would have had it's Independence years ago
