      I disagree on this context. Scotland is almost as partisan as NI. I have no knowledge of what the Welsh think so don’t presume to speak for them. I know what the English think and they don’t give a hoot about whether NI is UK or not.
      So you’re the moron missing the point.

        Scotland isn't as sticky a subject as:
        1. They don't have a physical land border with an EU country
        2. The question of Scotland being part of the UK has not caused 3,000+ deaths in the last few decades
        3. Scotland has somewhere to house nuclear subs
        4. Scotland has somewhere to house Paul Dacre
        5. Scotland has oil
        And Scotland agreed to stay in the UK without resorting to killing each other.
        Kinda important that one.

            According to figures, the rest of England is a drain on London.

            I advocate the Independent Kingdom of London, with border posts at each junction of the M25.

              No, part of the UK.

              It was something that I discussed with others recently (can't remember if I posted about it on here)

              Option 1: UK (including NI) outside EU, Ireland inside. Issue: The Border, CTA
              Option 2: GB outside EU, Ireland (island) inside. Issue: Free movement of goods and people for Ireland would be difficult, since geographically most goes through the UK, CTA
              Option 3: UK & Ireland outside the EU. No issue with the border, no issue with the CTA, no issue with free movement of goods and services. Only the minor ( :lol: ) issue that the Irish don't want it.
              …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                Option 4: cancel this tulipshow and all stay in the EU.

                  Unacceptable - we have voted and the majority have chosen that we leave.

                    We shall see. By the time any deal has been fudged we’d be better off inside with a rebate, a veto and influence.

                      Who would negotiate that then?

                      There is no way on earth that the EU would offer that. Their treatment of Cameron the last time he went cap-in-hand certainly did something to contribute to the referendum result.
