I wonder what happens if the English courts rule the other way ( and I think their ruling is due Friday ) ? How does that work ?
Basically means, Boris lied to the Queen...

There has already been two referedums. If we had another, that would be the third one.
Btw the latest polls are showing 54% Remain.

You are clearly not a firm remainer.

As I understand it, they just brought the case in a Scottish Court because they could get it heard quickly there. The appeal judge's consideration would have been of UK Law, not law that applies only to Scotland and the UK Government is bound by it's decision, unless a further appeal to a higher court overrules. The highest court would be the UK Supreme Court. It's decision could only be changed by an act of Parliament.
The UK Parliament is sovereign, something that some Leave campaigners suggested was under grave threat when campaigning during the referendum. Recent events suggest that they may have been right, but failed to mention that the threat would come from them if it tried to stop them having their own way.

I think that only the Supreme Court outranks the courts of appeal. That's where this will be heading.

It went to a Scottish court because the English courts were in summer recess, and it could be heard more quickly.
Which is the exact percentage Comres had in their poll for remain between 17th and 22nd June 2016. In fact 95% of the pre-referendum polls in 2016 had remain ahead.
I have a UK vote, I will have a UK pension, I may move back, I have friends and family in the UK, I have investments in the UK. Maybe I am more detached than most, but it does affect me.
If we were going to exclude your view based on your location then we'd need to exclude the views of HT and Dave.

According to the news on Smooth Radio, 3 High Court Judges in England have already ruled that it is not a matter that comes under the jurisdiction of the courts. You wouldnt expect judges in Scotland to rule any other way in reality

I disagree it should be upheld but fair enough about voting remain again, I get what you're saying.
As for "only when it suits you", I respectfully say that is not the case. I firmly believe the referendum was built on a pack of lies, it wasn't binding at the time and it will trash the UK so should not be upheld.
But I respect your POV.

Everyone is subject to the law, even politicians.
I love the fact you found this out from Smooth Radio.

Easy for someone in Australia to wave away the *no deal* suffering and loss of life due to isotope shortages and lack of drugs with no shelf life maybe ?
