Ihr Britten seid ja total im Arsch - habt keinerlei Reserven und habt ohne Flotte die große Schnauze und könnt nix. :rotfl2:
Habt Ihr noch nicht bemerkt, daß Deutschland die EU regiert... und somit Afrika und halb China. Man kann sich ja gerne weiter aufspielen. :D

You yet did not notice that Germany governs the European Union… and thus Africa and half China. One can up-play oneself gladly further.

Leadsom: Being A Mum Gives Me More Of A Stake

"Leadsom" has without question made a blunder when talking to the press. Granted it was The Times and they are less likely to twist her words out of shape which has resulting in showing she is a junior unlike "May" a senior.

I can't remember British politics ever being held in such disdain by the electorate before during my lifetime.

What a mess.

Very true.:rock:

In the meantime, here's Brian Taylor on the latest proposals for federalising the UK: LINK.

This is in the wake of Scottish Tory MSP Murdo Fraser advocating fedralism in a speech at Holyrood: LINK. It should be noted that he was Ruth Davidson's rival in the Scottish Tory leadership contest in 2011. He proposed that the Scottish Torries should split from the main Tory Party and set up a distinctively Scottish centre/centre-right party. The membership disagreed with him and voted for Davidson who wanted to keep the status quo.

Scottish Labour have also made similar proposals in the past few days: LINK.

Finally, here's an article from the Guardian on proposals from the Constitution Reform Group, convened by former Conservative cabinet minister Lord Salisbury: LINK.

Could federalism work? Until and unless Scottish independence makes financial sense (currently it doesn't), Scotland won't be going anywhere anytime soon so this problem needs to be addressed.

The Guardian again:

It is easy to despair of our leaders, but Brexit has exposed Britain’s rotten core

Linda Colley.

David Cameron has had a good week. Never mind that he took a gamble with the UK’s future, lost his bet and then opted to retire from what seem likely to be protracted and unpleasant consequences; in media terms he has been able more or less to recede from view. Instead, the spotlight has been on other individuals: on the delicious backstabbing among competing Conservatives, on the struggles between the Corbynistas and their opponents and on Chilcot’s weighty verdict on the failings of an earlier prime minister, Tony Blair. But what if the essence of our present problems is more than a matter of individuals?
It is unlikely to be an accident, for instance, that Blair and Cameron, skilful political players both, each came to grief over matters to do with foreign affairs. This is a sector of government where traditionally prime ministers are given a great deal of leeway. Perhaps too much leeway. Perhaps one lesson of our current difficulties is that Westminster and other UK agencies need to find better ways of monitoring, amending and regulating prime-ministerial actions.......

Rest of article: LINK.

Some more general info articles:

Article 50: LINK.

A Northern Irish perspective on Brexit: LINK.

Independence 'opportunity' says 2014 Scottish IndyRef critic Sir Nicholas Macpherson: LINK.

I read MacPherson's article in the FT - I think something has gone very wrong somewhere if Ian Paisley Jr (son of the Rev Ian "NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!" Paisley of DUP fame) has tweeted the recommendation that if your entitled to an Irish Republic passport you should get one.:o

Why Brexit Means Scottish Independence Is Off The Table—For Now by Alex Massie: LINK.
