THE second part of Scotland’s Indyref trilogy will reach audiences before 2019, Nicola Sturgeon has announced.

Following widespread acclaim for the first, in which the country’s attempt to separate from an evil empire founders tragically in its final moments, the SNP leader said they had found a ‘compelling new narrative’ for the sequel.

Sturgeon added: “We pick up just a few years later, but in a blasted, barely-recognisable landscape, like the opening of Terminator 2.

“Cameron is gone, overthrown in a coup by Theresa May and her Brexiteer drone army, and this time Scotland is fighting not just for itself but for an entire continent.

“The Cybernats are upgraded and are more intimidating than ever. Alex Salmond will play a cameo role, but we have found a dynamic young female lead. Hi.

“The stage is set for a spectacular conclusion to the trilogy in 2024. We will celebrate our victory with a huge fireworks display and dance around a campfire with some furry little Glaswegians.”
