Nicola Sturgeon tries to further DELAY our Brexit
SCOTLAND's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon now proposes to intervene as the Government goes to the Supreme Court to challenge the High Court ruling that said Parliament must approve the triggering of Article 50.

Though the Scots voted against independence in their referendum, Ms Sturgeon refuses to face the fact and acts as though Scotland is indeed independent.
Contrary to what she says, it makes no difference that 62 per cent of Scots voted Remain.
By virtue of the fact that Scots are part of the Union their votes carry the same weight as any other British citizen.
They cannot be dealt with separately.
Ms Sturgeon is making mischief again, using Brexit as a means to further her ambition to break with the Union.
She should be careful what she wishes for.
In the unlikely event that – post Brexit – a second Scottish referendum votes for independence then she would be in a very difficult position.
For how would Brussels react to an application for EU membership from an independent Scotland?
Not too favourably is the consensus.
Delay and obfuscation are the order of the day as far as the Remain camp is concerned, which is why they mounted their legal appeal.
Ms Sturgeon is merely adding to the time-wasting.
Prince Harry’s communications secretary has issued a statement on behalf of His Royal Highness which both confirms that actress Meghan Markle is his girlfriend and deplores the “wave of abuse and harassment” she has received.

It is unclear whether the wave of abuse refers to trolling on social media or to the whole media – and in particular newspapers.
For its part the Daily Express welcomed the news of the Prince’s relationship with a beautiful and talented young woman.
Prince Harry is a tremendously popular figure and probably the most eligible bachelor in the world.
Of course you, our readers, are interested in this glamorous pair and wish them well.
Trolling on social media is a different matter but it is nothing to do with responsible media outlets such as this newspaper.
Instead of berating the press the Prince could take the heat out of the situation by posing for a photograph with Meghan.
Making their relationship public would be a courtesy to her, surely.
The Toblerone bar has changed shape resulting in less chocolate.
In a rapidly changing world those distinctive triangles seemed eternal.
Another illusion shattered.
