Got any sauce for that?
I think the Scottish Independence idea tends to be sullied somewhat once you point out that they can't keep the pound and will have to adopt the Euro.
I don't think there's the appetite for another referendum in Scotland right now. They must feel like a break from voting.

I still think many voted to stop 'brown' people coming here.
They were told that millions of Turks would be turning up, LOL.
Lied to in a marvellous manner, but now it is time to move along and make the most of the mess the people democratically voted for.

Beer swilling chavs will have saved this country.
The EU has caused this trying to dictate. There is no price on democracy.
How is it lying Turkey was to be talked about even just at the end of the month.
In terms of German exports and ranking the main markets, the UK comes third at 89bn euros.
However, what is also important to note is that total exports is 1.2trn euros.
So yes, if exports to the UK halve, it isn't great for Germany. However, it is still a blip. (Also I question whether the UK will reduce imports even with import tariffs, we love our German products).
Keeping the EU together and ensuring that members are treated fairly and equally is likely to be more important to Germany.

Legally they are able to apply an emergency brake on it.
I keep seeing that picture held up as something infallible. Can you point to an actual law/Treaty about the Emergency Break?

No because the beer swilling chavs as you so nicely put it, grow London's food!
Probably how the rest of the country felt when the London banks crashed the economy, except we actually had real consequences, not just a reduced bonus that year
You're welcome to say this sort of thing, but please don't pretend you're making a sensible and well informed contribution to what is otherwise a mature adult discussion.
Still, it's nice that you want to join in, and I'm sure we all want to encourage that.
Really, what's next, best out of 3
It is a democratic vote, we voted out, that's democracy.
I'm pretty sure that's the cider swilling chavs and the immigrants that pick it
and all the imports from the EU.Many people aren't as tied to the idea of nationalism as others. I'd rather be part of the EU and improve conditions for everyone, if possible.
No, it was a referendum which a democratically elected government does not have to go along with. For the umpteenth time we do not have a direct democracy. David Cameron could have come out with a speech and went "LOL NO" if had chosen to do so.
Oh look a Guardian article, and you even went through the hassle of changing the headline to "into their hands". You do you know people notice that you're deliberately making things sound worse than it is, right? That's probably why Remain lost

It doesn't matter, we import half our goods from Europe, we only export 8% in goods, the rest is services. If Europe can wrangle a tariff free goods deal, they will be quids in and laughing all the way to the central European bank.
The issue is how you relate service, which we provide more tot hem, than they do to us, without allowing movement of people for service, jobs, and income.
That'll be the deal the economy here actually needs.
Not the little chart with green and red and yellow, and talk of the 'emergency brake'
"Hilariously" If Turkey ever gets EU membership and we've gone down the EEA / EFTA route (do we even have an alternative option?) then "millions of Turks" will have a greater control over our border than we do

Says the person who earlier in this thread claimed Scotland was under English occupation....I must have missed all the soldiers on the streets?
Not to mention the oil price not being what it was, plus they'll be net contributors to the EU instead of net recipients under the Barnett formula.
As I alluded to, it's not really up to me though. As a supporter of the campaign for the UK to Leave the European Union I couldn't really complain if Scotland wants independence from their Union. My only concern would be timing.
Sigh. They never said that. They had a bus saying we give 350m to EU (190 after rebate as discussed many a time) and said that money would be better with the NHS etc, but we would be able to decide. People have seen 350 and NHS and come up with their own promise.
Even with a bad trade deal that won't decrease to 0%.
Also that is a blip. 8% (or more likely some lower number) is nothing.
In the referendum campaign, the leave campaign were making nothing of the fact that 40% of UK exports are to the EU.
