SNP's Nicola Sturgeon announces new independence referendum bill

It was obvious since the last referendum results were published that SNP will push for another referendum whenever they see that as politically benefical, this time riding on the anti-tories wave that partially helped the Brexiteers. And the independence campaign may even be successful. Even if it isn't, it will help SNP to gain a majority in local government in 3 years time...

Both the brexit and trump phenomemon is going to be a case study on a the effects of a monopolistic media.

In Britain its Rupert Murdoch's influence, and in the US its Fox News.

In war one of the key things that every general knows is that the first thing to take control of is the communication channels.

Democracy does not work when a free press does not exist.

We do not need to create regulations to punish lying, just allow truth tellers and liars to both talk to the public.

It's not nice to have politics on HN. It only brings out nationalist type of discussions based on some kind of hatred, especially on these type of topics.

Its bad enough to have to deal with the Brexit stuff.

This would really help cushion the fiscal fallout from brexit for the rest of the UK.
