SCOTS READY TO BREAK AWAY FROM U.K.

Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish National party won 64 seats in parliament – one shy of an overall majority – which paves the way for a second referendum on Scotland separating from the United Kingdom. 
Sturgeon told British Prime Minister Boris Johnson that the second referendum is “a matter of when, not if,” the Associated Press reported. The AP reported that Johnson has the ultimate authority on whether there will be another referendum, and he said in an interview that one would be “irresponsible and reckless.” The report said the 2014 vote, where 55 percent of the country voted to stay, settled the issue.
Sturgeon said she hopes there will be a vote by Spring 2022. 
The Financial Times reported that Michael Gove, the cabinet minister in charge of the political union, indicated the U.K. would not go to the Supreme Court to fight an independence vote and said, “We are not going near there.”
TREND FORECAST: We forecast that the sun will continue to set on the British Empire… and it will shine less when the Scottish people vote for Independence, despite Boris Johnson’s attempts to stop it.
