You'll say it anyway. You will find places close to each other on opposite sides of borders the world over. Unless you're arguing that all such divisions are also absolutely wrong, you've nothing to say. You already know that - when it comes to imposing an international border and two currencies in Britain - I have plenty to say. It's a bizarre idea and is all to do with 'Country' and not 'policy' and is a natural conclusion to the vile politics of identity and division. Sad that you - an otherwise sensible bloke - are indulging this dreadful idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice I have supported a united Ireland for years on here. Here's a quick example from 5 years ago: On 28/04/2017 at 21:02, The_Kincardine said: On the subject of Brexit is a Farce I see that the The EU seem to be trying to make a pathway for a united Ireland. Now, of course, Ireland should be united. BUT it has heehaw to do with the EU: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/apr/27/eu-to-debate-recognising-united-ireland-to-allow-swift-return-for-north That Ireland is a divided state is execrable. A single island with an international border and two currencies is an utterly shite model and really not one the ScotchNats should try and impose on Britain. However, this is a thread about Britain so it's much better we stick to discussing Britain. OK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Talking of the Irish border, I recall visiting Derry/Londonderry in 2009. They solved Kincy's currency question by the simple method of having big signs in shops saying "£1 = €1" and accepting both currencies, even thaough the Euro was worth around 15% less than the pound at the time. Kincy - do you really thnk that shopkeepers will refuse payment in "foreign" currencies in Annan & Carlisle after independence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived about 30 years apiece north and south - though obviously not consecutively. There is barely a difference between the two. Now, if not wanting our nation partitioned, makes me an, "increasingly ludicrous figure" then I'll happily live with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived on both sides of the border too. So what? What makes you an increasingly ludicrous figure these days is that you come out with infantile rubbish, have it challenged and just re-state your view anyway, without engaging with the challenge at all. It's pitiful, and a bit embarrassing to witness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought that Kincardine wouldn't want bureaucracy to get in the way of businesses accepting whatever media of exchange they like. The state that His Britannic Majesty's Government has left the economy in, shops would gladly accept necklaces made of cats' teeth, jam jars and ginger bottles. Edit... Some shopkeepers in England refuse to take Scottish banknotes, which are denominated in Sterling so, frankly, fek em.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hang on. The guy who spent about three weeks rampaging over every thread in this sub droning on about "wEe nIpPy bOwInG tO tHe rOyAlS" is now complaining that a thread isn't entirely remaining on topic? Must be coincidence that's he being methodically rinsed at the same time. I would say it's a but sad to see a once occasionally decent poster reduced to this, but it's not. It's pretty funny, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
