No not some radical Islamic moron but some radical political Scottish groups who want Scottish independent.

I could very well imagine some of these attacked one or another British owned building in Scotland.

Well lets hope nothing like that does occur, if a British business did get attacked they would only be shooting themselves in the foot as Scotland needs every tax penny it can get hold of at the moment.

I have the ability to paint a certain figure on the wall.

Hearing and reading what's going on in Northern Ireland, Ireland and the determination among the Scots to be independent

Gives me a bad taste-How will UK look like in 5-10-15 years from now.

If UK dissolved will it be peaceful or...?

Biggest growth since 1994 - that probably didn't go as they hoped in Brussels.

I'd like to think we will see a steady growth in the number of trade deals with other countries then we can tell the EU what our terms are should they want us to stick to the Brexit treaty.

I know much of it is down to the popular press but there is a growing amount of public resentment aimed across the Channel and France is currently the main target.

Effectively the UK government wants the EU to change rules the UK actually initiated while they were in the EU.
So you say England's intention to break signed treaties is still strong

Thank god no one here cares what the UK yellow press publishes. Of course the same is not true for their english audience.

And again I must set flag in favour of your side there. Can't wrong you for getting a bit angry with the French. I too would prefer that Germany falls back to a much more sober relation with France.


Wait until the elections in septembre. Then Germany will likely become even more francophile.

3:10 what it's all about. The Eu is not there to solve England's problems.

I had a friend (Petty Officer Sonar) who has sadly passed recently. He was aboard a RN frigate during the above and he would occasionally share stories of how RN ships bows were reinforced with concrete for ramming purposes.
