Minor Britain more like. You can see a way that Scotland will stay in the Union then? 

 

Brexit decision and nationalist tub-thumping aside, its arguably the worst time for Scotland to decide to leave the UK (same issues as out 2014 indy vote, just magnified):

 

Still no currency - only options would be swallowing the Euro or utilisation of the 'Smackeroonie'. Both mean a different currency from the country where 65% of our exports go (rUK). And one would probably be worth f*ck-all given the state of public finances and the current -neg tax take from our expensive offshore oil..

 

An actual border with our biggest trading partner

 

Chopping off of Barnett = instant massive hole in government finances.

 

Biggest budget deficit in Western Europe = massive public spending cuts / tax rises to chop the deficit if we want to rejoin the EU (though the nats maintain they pure love us over there and wouldnae both aboot all that - yep, checked out what they've imposed on Greece..?)

 

Taking control from Westminster, and handing the same stuff out to some folks over in Brussels.

 

All the other sh*t we talked about in 2014

 

Not that anyone will listen, as Brexit has had a steroidal effect the anti-Westminster protest vote types (the nats are playing up to it big time, quietly disregarding the democratic nature of the vote)

Love the above, it did make me laugh, I have to say I'm feeling a bit more optimistic about the fact we've left, mainly due to the government seeming to be open to negotiating about immigration which they'll probably introduce some sort of points system, maybe you'll need 10 points to be allowed in and every word you can say in english gives you 1 pint, something like that, and in return we'll keep the same trade deals and have to abide by the same rules, so maybe after all nothing will actually change , oh , apart from the country is now split down the middle causing some public unrest, which hopefully when everyone realises it was all just a big waste of time will go away.

Logic/sense aside, therein lies the problem. You can just hear it now, not only did Westminster fcuk us over about more powers after the last referendum, the nasty Englanders have fcuked us over as well now. They all hate us and we're better off without them.

 

Still, at least the EU powers that be told Sturgeon to bugger off home yesterday, as they'll only talk to the UK government. I saw JP Morgan reckoned you'd be gone by 2019 and would give up the £  for an interim solution before a presumably painless accession. Wonder if they still think the same today?

EU will be happy to take on Scotland, just to give an FU to the UK. They will rig the numbers the same way they did for Greece to make it work.

The issue is that the EU will now want to consolidate, and head inevitability towards closer integration (wasn't there talk about individual countries having their budgets / spending plans reviewed / veto'd by Brussels..), meaning any joiner's, no matter who they think they are, will have to accept these rules.. But yeah, I can hear the rhetoric already...

 

There's also the internal political aspects as noted of larger member countries sh*tting themselves about their own secessionist movements or right-wing organisations (French Front National) meaning a severe reduction in flexibility of the rules.. As been said before, what's more important to the EU - bending the rules, admitting Scotland and giving others hope of leaving / re-joining , or sticking with its standard processes..? Not a difficult one to answer..

Yep, sure that's working really well for the EU (maintaining the integration, and saving face), but ask your average Greek how well that's working out..

 

I voted Remain, but everyone knows the EU is ultimately self-serving.

So the big twat has told us to leave the EU, gets his way and now doesn't have the bollox to stand up and lead the country.

 

What a Cuntpuffin.

 

Glad anyway I don't like him.

and if he had stood in the leadership contest it would be cries of "see I told you he was just doing it to further his own political career!"

You could accuse him of that still. Anyway, I'm still hoping Cameron will do a rather large Boris shaped FU and approve a third runway at Heathrow and sign some binding contracts before he disappears. :lol:

Here he is post referendum. Quite scathing about the leave campaign, but I think even leave voters can't be too proud of their politicians.

...I've seen this & more on the Liverpool Uni site. However, I think many of the 'hardcore' exiter's, didn't want to know the truth anyway, they just wanted another alternative. All Boris & Co just had to tell mistruths & point out that the 'grass is greener on the other side' & the rest is history.

 

...The exit camp have absolutely NO idea what will happen now or likely to happen, except to hope that it'll be alright on the night. SO many youngster's wishes have been ignored, their european futures altered & made more difficult, not to mention their children's futures. 

 

Then there's Farage's Pathetic, antagonistic schoolboy rant & insults to the EU members at the conference. (That'll show em...yeah!) I'm sure it will just alienate us even more amongst the EU countries & more importantly those who we need to be on our side when we (or should I say, if we) actually start the long drawn out process of the EU divorce. He's waving a big stick in the bee's nest when he should have used smoke, now let's see how they react.

 

£350M for the NHS every week...'oh no Sir, I didn't mean it'. Our deficit now thrown out, due to unsustainable economic growth forecasts for the next 20 years. Our stock market will keep crashing every time we get a setback in the divorce proceedings. Numerous global companies have now 'put on hold' plans to expand in the UK amidst the turmoil & uncertainty of us leaving & the lack of knowing what will happen in the future.

 

Reduced Immigration or access to the single trade market?  All 27 members must agree. It is a fundamental cornerstone of EU membership to have free movement of people if you want to be part of the single trade agreement. They really can't set a precedent with us!  

 

As a small island, we have always punched well above our weight on the world stage. China's & the USA's recent comments after the referendum shows that we are not going to have a full trade agreement anytime soon, agreements takes years & years... We will soon be on our own, competing in a pond with properly big fish. Maybe it's best to hide under a rock & accept our (plaice) in the world?

 

I fully accept that we are in a democratic society & we voted 'out.' But, I wonder how many people now feel betrayed by Boris & Co & would vote differently? I'm sure that there will be a large proportion of individuals & segments of the population, who will keep their fingers tightly pushed in their ears whilst humming loudly to themselves. But, I feel sure that enough would change their opinions now & vote differently.

The 350 was the only figure they could use,the only true figure they had, plus it wouldn't have the same impact on the side of a bus saying "The eu costs us £350m a week but we get some back for the farmers and the fishermen and some projects and other bits but we don't have a say on the amount or what to spend it on". Plus you'd need a very long bus 👍😂 Everyone with a brain on both sides understood it was the total cost before any refunds didn't they ? It was explained enough. So many youngsters ! Kin ell only three bothered to get out of bed and vote,😂 something like 18% of 18 to 25 year olds 😂 But highest on record up in the 70/80% for other age groups. Hasn't the stock exchange just gone back to record levels ? I doubt anyone would change myself, all the basics are the same. Actually the real doom forecast hasn't yet happened so some remain voters may change😂 .
