Yes, of course. "And if England and Wales voted for leaving, the UK could let them go." Because, if Scotland had left the UK in 2014, then Scotland would automatically have been ejected from the EU. It does not work the other way round, obviously?

Why don’t England and Wales leave the United Kingdom? They would be automatically ejected from the EU and Scotland and Northern Ireland would then be the constituent parts of the United Kingdom, which would remain in the EU. :03:

What is then the difference between old border control and new border control?

I once got into the UK without passing passport check - b/c in Heathrow I transfered from international to domestic flights without the said check.

So the wild hords Farage showed on his threat-posters are indeed meant to be EU residents :haha:

Regarding "unskilled immigrants" and who needs them – of course, but then a) you take away the best heads from the countries who need them and b) what about fugitives going back if the war has ended. I guess every civilized country will allow them an at least temporary stay.

Well, it's not as if Scotland or Northern Ireland could service the UK national debt......

Besides there's only one political party in the UK that advocates English independence - the English Democrat Party and their not exactly mainstream.

I am now convinced the UK will remain in the EU because the pro EU lot are going to tie Brexit up in knots of red tape for years and those who voted leave will get sick and tired of it all and say sod it lets just stay all this pain in the rear end is driving us nuts.

I have lost all interest in Brexit and from this point on have no interest in this one any more, any other UK politics is find by me but not Brexit that one is now off my menu.

And that is my final word on Brexit. :arrgh!:

It'll happen, there's too much for those in power to lose if it doesn't, but it won't be quick and it won't be pleasant.

Tam Dalyell has died:

One of the few Scottish Labour politicians who was vehemently opposed to any form of devolution.

84's a good run.

You guys are tough ... calling Prime Minister May a poodle :D

Asked how she could avoid becoming the poodle of a U.S. president — a charge often levelled against Tony Blair in his relationship with George W Bush — May said: “I’m going to be very clear in everything we do. I believe the special relationship is important to us; it’s important more widely across Europe and the world. But I will also be very clear in the decisions I take and the conversations I have about U.K. interests.”

Well, we'll see if the boot fits. Wouldn't be a smart move hitching up to the US right now though....too much of a liability.
