The sooner Scotland’s out of this shambles of a union the better. Why should a possible leave vote for Scottish Independence be respected if this EU leave vote is not? No reason why it should be. Although i still believe we will be leaving the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am almost at the stage of hoping that the EU reject an extension then the rational being in me takes over and realises that it would be the most vulnerable that would suffer. It always is when the politicians f**k something up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 We are screwed if we leave Europe. Why can’t we have another referendum?Because it's like this. A very stupid woman with an even more stupid idea gets to childishly stamp her feet again and again until she is eventually able to throw a six on her dice.The rest of us, being adults, only ever get one throw of the dice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them are now desperately searching for semantics and nuances that will justify their about turn and acceptance of May's deal. The best way to find out what Ulster Unionists are up to is to read Belfast Unionist newspapers to find out what the DUP are telling their own supporters and avoid the filter of misunderstanding and at times "Mrs Bunfield" stereotype levels of outright prejudice that the information has to pass through with a London based media outlet: https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/brexit-dup-will-not-sell-its-soul-for-deal-that-threatens-union-1-8849797 ... But while the DUP’s Jim Shannon said he and his fellow MPs wanted to support “the right deal”, he told the News Letter: “We will not sell our soul for a deal that threatens the Union.” ... The DUP has stated that any changes to the backstop must be made “at treaty level”. When asked yesterday if the PM’s deal was now effectively dead, Mr Shannon replied: “We will have to wait and see what happens. ... “It is clear what we want. We need a legally binding time-limited backstop. The government knows that is what they have to deliver and it is up to them to go back and get that. “Our priority is preservation of the Union; that Northern Ireland is treated the same as England, Scotland and Wales. That is the critical factor in all of this for us.” ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 May has said dozens and dozens of times that we will leave on 29 March but now we won’t yet hardly anyone in the MSM is referring to the absolute humiliation of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter Parp Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 No, we were supposed to go into meltdown the minute the vote came in, the wobble in the markets reflected this, as it stands, I don't think Brexit will be as bad as portrayed, I'm actually more worried about the rejection of democracy over short term pain, time to suck it and see is where I'm at at the moment.Oh yeah, I forgot about the pound down about 11% since the vote (probably more now after yesterday), the BoE pumping QE probably saved us from the worst of it but, yeah, this pretty much as predicted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Beyond that there is a death of a thousand cuts as car plants close (first Swindon and now Sunderland seems to be winding down) and financial services companies relocate, etc. It doesn't all happen simultaneously.

NotThePars Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Gina Miller says the time to hold a second referendum is when all other options have been exhausted. I don’t know how this takes into account May’s strategy of just postponing Brexit and holding the same vote again and again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away and look at historical trends, I'm sure you'll notice that it's just a fall like loads of others and not in the same stratosphere as the worst ones, the long term trend is downward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are unable to think in terms of cause and effect. Previously no one really thought about what would happen beyond a Yes vote. Now it's clear that Westminster would make separation as difficult as possible whilst using all their media assets and Scottish unionists to campaign for a second referendum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a fall like loads of others, it's been going on for three years now, with the odd blip up when it looks like a deal has been reached. Which quickly disappears when it turns out to be a mirage. Apart from jobs, the predictions were more or less bang on. God knows what a no deal exit would look like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're coming from f**k all rises always appear larger, we had the largest growth due to every other mob getting their shit together much quicker than ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
