    He makes many good points. The coastal towns of the North of England are repulsive. People are also obese which is a terrible shame for the English. That's why I'm voting YES to get away from this sort of thing. The Scots oldest alliance was with the French and Scotland is better with Europe than England

    Australia is a self-contained landmass with strong borders; your comparison is laughable... Or it would be if I didn't think that you actually believe this nonsense.

    It won't be very green once they build all the houses they need for all the immigrants waiting at Calais to get into England. Maybe not so pleasant either.
