No A50 this week (lol)

[woohoo]

Game over then innit :-)

What ye Brexiters have to say to that ?

Milan.

I really don't see the issue, Parliament will vote for it.

[shaunbhoy]

EU residents in Scotland swung the vote to remain because they knew Scotland could then leave the EU.

WTF??

[woohoo]

And then he wakes up!!

I'm would be happy for Scotland to go it alone. I don't think it will happen but would be interesting to see what happens.

[chopper]

You know full (or you should) EU residents in Scotland swung the vote to remain because they knew Scotland could then leave the EU. That's now going to happen anyway.

So Scottish people want to leave, but non-Scottish people in Scotland want to remain, is what you're saying?

[d000hg]

Stop being obtuse. You know full (or you should) EU residents in Scotland swung the vote to remain because they knew Scotland could then leave the EU. That's now going to happen anyway.

That's pure fantasy even without the embarrassing mistake.

65% of leave UK votes were by residents in Scotland who were Scottish by birth.

25% of leave UK votes were residents in Scotland from other EU countries.

The average for leave was 45% as a result. Had EU nationals living in Scotland voted leave at 40% we'd have had a leave vote the same as Brexit, 52%.


I can't make it any clearer than that. If you still don't get it, advise your clients they're paying you far too much and there are ameba on Saturn with greater intelligence.

Apologies to any ameba on Saturn offended by this post.

Scotland should be actively looking to remain a part of the EU that independent of the UK.

Scotland is not part of the EU. Scotland is part of the UK, which in turn is part of the EU. When the UK leaves the EU, as it certainly will do, then Scotland comes out as a matter of course.

If Scotland then votes to leave the UK, as they are completely at will to do, if and when they can legally arrange another referendum, they will still not be in the EU, and thanks to Spain, their chances of joining the EU are slim, to say the least.

They'll be more offended by your spelling of amoeba!

But they can console themselves that they're smarter than the amoeba-sized entity that serves as your brain!

How many more times before it penetrates your dense skull? There's no way Scotland can stay in the EU, because several other EU countries with separatist movements would certainly veto the proposal, even if the UK Government was keen on the idea, which they certainly are not.

Scotland will retain the UK's membership for a reduced fee.

In effect Scotland is kicking the rUK out of the UK.

I thought we're up uppty America you'd be intae dat?

Scotland retains the UK membership, we have in effect never left.
