Why doesn't England just leave the UK?

£1.7 trillion of debt is the new £0.

We're going on about 'remain', independence was forced on us.

I love the way the Scots who are skint keep on going on about being independent.

And before you mention Northern Ireland, their preference, it would seem, is for a united Ireland. I doubt they want to team up with a nation whose citizens love it so much, they can't wait to leave, and wail from afar.

Do you know anything about the politics of Northern Ireland?!

It would save a lot of bother.

If only it were posible.

[MarillionFan]

Right, simples. All countries qualifying for Euro 2016 can stay and Scotland can feck off.

Wales voted out as well. So that would leave a United Kingdom of Scotland, and er, not much else. So not what you'd call "United" and since the closest the Scots have to a monarch is Alex the Salmon, not really what you'd call a Kingdom either. So then you'd be kicked out under the EU Nations Descriptions Directive (shortly to be waived through by the Commissars without so much as an announcement, no doubt).
You can't win, Scooty, face it.

You can have Wales and NI plus the overseas territories.

But you have to share the Queen and her costs...

Her Majesty prefers Dollars.

We like Wales too much.

















Hmmmm, wait a second...
