I don’t know if you follow the news … but Britain’s a political animal.
One that, right now?
One that’s barking.
If you’ll forgive the pun.
A couple of years ago, now? Scotland voted against independence: voting to remain a part of the UK.
Last years?
Britain voted to leave the EU. The arguments about that, ever since, have been … loud.
Noticeably? Because, while the people of the UK, overall, voted to leave … the majority in Northern Ireland, and Scotland, voted to remain.
I don’t know about Northern Ireland. But in Scotland, the Scottish Nationalists have a large number of MSPs: as a result of the most recent elections.
In the manifesto for that election? SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon, made a promise to hold a second referendum: if it was felt things had seriously changed for Scotland.
Last years’s Brexit vote? Was that change.
A change that saw the Scottish First Minister announce, yesterday, that she would be seeking to hold a second independence referendum.
I really can’t say I blame her for doing so.
Were I a Scottish resident, for that second independence vote? And given that I voted remain?
To hell with the consequences.
I’d be voting for independence.
To leave the UK, so I could remain in the EU.
That’s going to annoy a lot of those who voted to leave the EU.
But yesterday’s announcement was implicit in the Brexit results.
Anyone complaining?
Should maybe have read the SNP manifesto, before the election …

After all that politics?
We should maybe move on to something lighter.
Or, at least tell you the BBC have released the latest trailer of Dr Who’s tenth season.
And? I think we can say that’s a Mondasian Cyberman in there.
AND a Ice … something …
