Obviously the EU believes in democracy so you keep on having referendums until they get the result they want like Ireland.
I don't tell them, as I said they are welcome to hold one, they just need to vote for it & pay for it. Doesn't seem unreasonable.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

But Gibraltar doesn't want to become part of Spain. Spain thinks it should be forced to against the wishes of its people. Gibraltar voted by more than 98% in 2002 to tell Spain to piss off.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Were I the PM I would keep that vote quiet until the negotiation is done then 'realise' it is the democratic thing to do.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostThey also want to be part of the EU, didn't 96% vote to stay in? Stuck between a rock and a hard place...
Anyway its pretty clear the EU doesn't want Free Ecosse joining I'm sure Gibraltar would have to surrender to the Armada before she can join.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostScotland is in the UK, the UK is leaving the EU. Therefore it is reasonable to say that Scotland, having chosen to stay within the UK, must accept that they too will be leaving the EU.
