I've changed the title from "Fucking SNP" to simply "SNP".

Quote:Nicola Sturgeon has said a second independence referendum will become a “legitimate, almost necessary” step unless Scotland secures a special relationship with the European Union before article 50 is triggered.
The first minister used a speech in Edinburgh to accuse Theresa May’s government of putting the settlement that established the Scottish parliament under “grave threat” by rejecting Sturgeon’s calls for a special deal.
Sturgeon earlier wrote in an article for the Times that her moves towards a second referendum were prompted by the prime minister’s “sheer intransigence”, in a further effort to push May into fresh concessions.
May is under pressure from within her cabinet to counter Sturgeon’s agitation, increasing expectations the prime minister could set out what Scotland will gain from Brexit when she addresses the Scottish Conservative annual conference in Glasgow on Friday.
