I read it yesterday in one of our mainstream media and it's one of our trusted news paper.

It will only be a theory and nothing more.

The impact on the environment would be far more devastated then without those walls.

It don't take a rocket scientist to see that idea would sacrifice all of the lower lands in Great Britain!
Jim. You might want to move to the Highlands!

Nah, Scotland will have long been independent before any of this would happen.

I was checking my calendar to see if it was April yet

It's all true Jim, the guy who came up with the idea was interviewed on SKY News. It had crossed my mind what about that big gap where the UK is?

So far no government has been approached in Europe.

oh boy the daily fail never ceases to amaze

on the flip side do you really think a solid link to France is a wise idea? we have a tunnel now and that's already too much!

on the other note i cant see this being a winning idea, mainly because your now going to have to talk to Russia and the Baltic countries as well as the UN to even think about getting any form of approval.

so for me pipe dream, clearly been in too many cafes in the Dam
