    Only by being part of the spoils, so to speak.

      To add the to that it is mostly Scots that are to be found living abroad rather than the stay at home southerners. The way it was during the height of the empire, the Scots were the adventures of the crowd.

          Well they're ****ed to start with. Don't they know that (eurozone) Europe has the Euro? And there are plenty of Euro shops here already...
          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.

              Yeah but what about now? Living a fecking ridiculously expensive country which no longer 'owns' any sunny annexes to escape to isn't much fun when brassic Shirley?

              Even worse when the indigenous populations of the former colonies want to compete on your own miserable rain sodden soil.
              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                It only got out of balance because of Mr Blair and his army of clueless feckwits.

                They have gone away now so hopefully things will gradually get back in kilter. Perhaps.

                    Still, we've got the Falklands eh. And unless Sheep get ICTs then the job market is ok. Obviously there will still be a few who come over here to marry welshmen I suppose.
