Britain Leave the European Union (Please be polite with other people's views)

[Kamikaze]

I applaud everyone’s enthusiasm for Brexit. Ultimately it’s like being a over optimistic parents of a fat kid on sports day. Remember, it’s not the winning or losing, it’s the taking part that counts.

Apart from Whiskey

That's Irish.
Whisky is Scotch!

Europe is a mess , do we need to sort out world trade ?

 

[rapparee]

Scotch is whisky, Whisky is Scottish!

Whisky is indeed Scottish

But Whiskey is Irish

 

[Moley]

Scotch is whisky, Whisky is Scottish!

But Whisky can also be Welsh. See Penderyn - Penderyn Whisky & Spirits from Wales to the World - http://penderyn.wales/

Hotel California anyone?

Hotel california maybe but I prefer William Hagues analogy , " Like being trapped in a burning building with no exits "

Apart from Whiskey and short bread, Scotland has nothing to offer anyone down here, there are more Jocks in England than Scotland, drunkards and hooligans mainly.
It's Whisky
I would remove all armed forces and bases from there
Mainly been done- the Scottish regiments mainly train down south due to the defence cuts
remove the last ship building yard and relocate down south
Just about there- before indyref the UK promised 22 ships, changed it to 12 then confirmed 3. Promises broken

and build a wall across the border to stop the 5 million left up there getting into the south from being over run by refugees from down south felling Tory austerity etc

Nice Mountains and Locks, good fishing and fluck all else up there
Apart from

• the highest outward investment outside London and the S.E. England
• The best run NHS in the UK (still can be better)
• 1000 MORE police officers since 2007, compare to 20,000 LESS down south
• Public owned water
• Scotland is a net exporter

The Tories are not known for benevolence and giving- ever wonder WHY they are desperate to keep Scotland- we subsidise the south;

Could go on but it's a Brexit thread

To clarify- I am pro-independence and anti-Westminster, not anti other people

We could make our own Whisky in England if we wanted to, we let the Jocks make it, should we become independent we could easily set it so we make it, it wouldn't be as good to start but in 20 years it would get there, we just don't need the Jocks, let them have their independence, by the way to all members, except the Mods of course lol, Merry Christmas.

 

[telectrix]

we should not upset the Jocks. I need a piper to play at my funeral.

[telectrix]

just need to get a decent deal for the brexit, as in borders. never mind the Irish border, can we have a "hard" border between England and Scotland?

 

[baldelectrician]

The Brexit is a UK act of self harm.

Before the vote the First Minister proposed that a double lock be in place- a majority of the UK countries must vote OUT for brexit to happen, that was shot down.
Had this been in place we would have stayed as both Scotland and Northern Ireland voted IN.

Most of the scare stories the 'Bitter Together' lot are now reversed, things such as

• All the banks will leave (many will now go to Scotland if we are in the EU and the former UK [fUK] is out)
• Companies (especially service ones) will leave and come to Scotland
• Scotland can attract more investment than ever before as part of the EU

If people want the UK out that's fine but I don't think we should jump off the cliff just because the rest of the UK are.

 

[telectrix]

the UK can live without Scotland, Scotland cannot live without the UK.
