    That should be fun - those snowflakes will last approx 5 seconds in Glasgow town centre on a Saturday night.

    And that's just because it's a bit cold.

    You specifically mentioned EU nationals though. When did Brussels annex the Caribbean, or will they wait to do that until they get their "Army" in place?


    The UK won't be a member so won't have a veto

    Yes, we can agree to join the Euro but not actually use it. I gave you the link to read.

    The biggest lie is that Spain would vote against us- debunked.

    Spain says independent Scotland could join EU - The Local

    Joining the Euro is something you have to sign up for but you don't have to do it, or at least it isn't enforced:

    https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-e...in-and-when_en

    The Treaty does not specify a particular timetable for joining the euro area, but leaves it to Member States to develop their own strategies for meeting the condition for euro adoption. Seven of the 13 Member States who joined the EU since 2004 have already joined the euro area, most recently Lithuania on 1 January 2015.


    Therefore 6 have agreed to use the Euro but haven't done it.

    Who knows? You certainly seem to though, but I don't suppose we can use you as any sort of benchmark, blessed as you are with the intellect of a soup spoon.

    Shaun is a moron, don’t worry pal. At my last gig a few contractors were taking the urine out of him for his easily-lead brexit ‘analyses’; seems much of the population down that way seem to think passing off DailyMail rhetoric counts as self-derived opinion from their massive brains.

    Circumstances change and few are bigger than brexit. This warrants another referendum, perhaps within the next couple of years.

    Do folk up in Scotland care what you think Shaun? No, because you’re likely an overweight loser who spends such an incredible volume of time posting here that you clearly lack the social skills to fit well into society otherwise. Enjoy your pathetic lifestyle and incoherent rants; as you grow old you’ll just be “that tit down the road” who thinks he knows it all yet is sitting (alone, obviously) quashing cider whilst shouting at his 4K tv.
