LongTimeLurker Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Decades of the up market London based media downplaying and ridiculing the European role in British politics along with "Up Yours, Delors" headlines from the tabloids led to this. It's going to be an absolute car crash, and independence in the EU doesn't offer an easy way out for Scotland if the Little Englanders insist on leaving the single market, because it's difficult to see how a hard border could be avoided.

Yeah it is difficult to see how it could be avoided with the current UK government but, if acting like a robot, making a complete spectacle of herself and us with Europe and tory election fraud won't bring her down, surely the break up of the UK would. It'd be a completely different political landscape. Indy could save the rUK from brexit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, let's be as delusional as Theresa but wrap it all up in tartan. On a soft Brexit independence would have been a no brainer for Remainers that look at the issue of where the national parliament should be located pragmatically, but there are no easy answers on a hard Brexit and it will be at least a decade before the damage can slowly start to be undone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already posted on here somewhere about the damage this has already done to my work so you can stick your 'delusional'If its a choice between Tartan (you're a better poster than that,by the way) or Red,White and Blue brexit,I know my preference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When can I apply for Scottish citizenship? I see from his Wiki page that Joshua was born in Watford to a Nigerian mother and his father is / was of Nigerian / Irish descent. So basically, immigrants to the UK! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I would be happy for a Korean style DMZ to be erected at the border if it would stop us from being fucked over by May and her hard brexit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 It would be #scences if Scotland got independence and stayed in the EU while England had to go trade raspberries with Mongolia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hour long waits on the M74 to cross the border would be less enthralling. It might be 57:43 yes in the polls now if the choice is EU independence shangri la vs 1000 year Brexit Tory/UKIP reich, but will people still be so eager when faced with the reality that it means either a new currency or the euro? Life would be much easier if the Tories had not got a majority back in 2015 and we had avoided having a Brexit referendum. The SNP and UKIP/Tory nationalisms have been feeding off each other in recent years in a way that will have deeply negative consequences over the next couple of decades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieThomas Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Not particularly sure why anyone would want to cross the border given most of England will resemble a rundown Brazilian favela in ten years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
