    There are many reasons why youth employment is high in Iberian states, not least that leaving home at 18 is not the cultural norm - but the fact is that Spain is growing at 3.2% to UK's 1.6%. (est. 2018)
    Let's talk about youth unemployment 5 years from now.
    Hard Brexit now!

            No need to get bitter because your dreams of leaving were dashed.

                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  Perhaps not, but I think there is a group of people who are "Northern Irish" first, and not tied up in the whole "You're either Republican or Unionist, you can't be anything else" nonsense.

                  Reminds me of the old joke: A Jew walks into a bar on the Falls Road and says "Can I have a pint of Guinness please?"
                  The barman says "That depends - are you a Catholic or a Protestant",
                  The Jew replies "I'm neither, I'm Jewish".
                  The barman says to him, "Sure, but are you a Catholic Jew or a Protestant Jew?"

                    Is Brexit worth turning United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norther Ireland into England (minus London and all area around it)?

                    I guess that would mean that capital would automatically move to Birmingham...

                      You forgot about blue passports and going to Spain but not having Spanish people in your hotel.
