The trial of Tony Bliar

No, it is not the ending of the union, England would remain as part of the UK along with Wales and NI, Scotland is proposing to leave, to become independant.
The UK is still a member of the EU.

The United Kingdom is a defined legal entity - if that changes it must cease to exist - you cannot have a UK of England Wales & NI

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (usually shortened to the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain[1]) is a country[2] and sovereign state that lies to the northwest of Continental Europe with the Republic of Ireland to the west. It occupies the majority of the British Isles and its territory and population are primarily situated on the island of Great Britain and in Northern Ireland, which shares a land border with the Republic of Ireland on the island of Ireland. The United Kingdom is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean, and its ancillary bodies of water, including the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, and the Irish Sea. The mainland is linked to France by the Channel Tunnel.

The United Kingdom is a political union made up of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Thanks for that Troll.

So if Scotland goes independant then England, Wales and NI have to go it alone too?
In which case I would wonder about EU status for all of them.
I had always assumed that the "club" exists even if some members choose to leave.

They way I see it is that all would have to re-negotiate on the basis of their new status just like the Czech Repulic & Slovakia did - quite a God send for the UKIP.

This is all IMHO - would be nice to get alternative views & I'm suprised no one is talking about this aspect in the media

You see I am of an alternative persuasion here.
When other countries ahd to renegotiate it was because they had all become unique entities.

I believe that the UK will still exist, but Scotland will no longer be part of it.

If you are right then there is one hell of a row coming.

Today Blair warns against Scottish independence; ‘Crazy and incredibly regressive step’

Blair warns against Scottish independence; ‘Crazy and incredibly regressive step’

The BBC poll, which questioned 883 adults in England, 543 in Scotland and 527 in Wales, also indicated that 61 percent of the English and 51 percent of the Scots wanted England to have a separate parliament. Salmond himself has urged support for an English parliament. English voters are also unhappy with a new constitutional anomaly in which Scottish lawmakers can continue to vote on English issues at Westminster but their English colleagues have no say on policy north of the border. Scots hold powerful positions in the Labour government and the Scottish people receive a larger share of tax money for public services than those in England.

It is time to break away from rogues like Blair.


Breaking up is good for enemies USSR, Yugoslavia, Iraq but bad for Britain - hmmn? I wonder could that have ANYTHING to do with the fact that a major section of the British Army (25% ??) would suddenly go AWOL, just when crucial Wars of Aggression are already in the pipelines?

Also, where are the English Republicans?
