What does Scotland have to offer the EU without the UK ? OIL ? They can get that shite anywhere (done in my best Scottish accent Billy Connolly style). Sheep ? they can get better from Aus, or Argentina, or anywhere.

But let's get back to what the "polls" said a couple pf day's or a week ago said. EVERYTHING was pro Remain in the mainstream, but do you remember a bloke you put me onto a few years ago now ? Nadeem_Walayat picked it to within a few pips days and weeks ago consistently.

What or where will Scotland go to in the EU? Running to the EU now is like a Lamb running towards a Wolf. Do you think that the UK will not close it's borders or not negotiate trade if
their near neighbours in the end go with the EU ? Give it some thought.

Without the oil, Scotland comes out pretty even with the UK average in terms of GDP, incomes, debt, etc.

With the oil, they've got about a trillion dollars plus change worth of it left and they're getting about 60% of their own energy from the offshore wind turbines that they started building when it became apparent that the oil wouldn't last forever.

The thing that tipped the balance in favor of remaining in the UK at the independence referendum was that they got to stay in the EU. Without that tie to the EU via being part of the UK, they're better off economically becoming independent and joining the EU in their own right.

What do they have to offer the EU? A cheeky backdoor to trade with anyone in the rest of the world who wants access to the EU from a common law, educated, English speaking base. Basically like what Ireland is now.

The same goes for Northern Ireland. With no EU access via the UK, they're better off reunifying with the rest of Ireland and staying in the EU that way.

Yes, i was only a lad at the time.

My Chief at the Bank was a Scot and he HATED the 'Sassenachs' with a passion i have never seen before or since.

LOL to Scots speaking English:)
 
I am proud and happy to live in the Edinburgh of the South , but bugger me if i can understand much of what Scots say.
My great grand mother when she was speaking English or Gaelic it all sounded very very harsh to my poor ears.
If IF Scotland decide to hold another referendum the results will be exactly the same as last time.
Scotland will remain in the UK because you can not erase the history and people prefer familiarity over the unknown.
 
All very valid points

One of the top questions asked by UK users after the Brexit referendum result to 'leave' was released was "what is the EU?", Google Trends reported.
And queries about 'what happens if we leave the EU?' tripled.
Other spiking searches in the United Kingdom were queries for 'getting an Irish passport' and 'move to Gibraltar', the British territory on the south coast of Spain.
Google Search interest in the British pound in free fall since the result is at its highest level ever.
Twitter says some 6.4 million tweets were sent in the UK from the opening of polls Thursday through British Prime Minister David Cameron's resignation speech on Friday.
Twitter says it's rare that the name of a country trends in that country.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Brits want a do-over.
So many users were signing a petition for a re-run of Britain's referendum on European Union membership that they've crashed the House of Commons website hosting the document.
The petition passed the 200,000 mark on Friday evening, with a map of the voting indicating that most activity was in London where most boroughs backed the "remain" camp in the referendum.
The House of Commons said it had seen "high volumes of simultaneous users on a single petition, significantly higher than on any previous occasion." A second referendum isn't in the cards for now, but experts say it isn't out of the question if those who back a British exit begin suffering from buyer's remorse.

Week old data from 1600 people, what was the YouGov poll position on the vote again ? A Remain win if I recall correctly.

And Irish passport searches go up 100% of what ? 3 or 10 ?

What are Scotland and Ireland going to do, set forth on their own into the demonstrated failure of the EU taking Gibraltar and the Orkney's with them? ROFLMAO

Potato's and Oil with a few Dory and Haddock thrown in for good measure ? Lol Fish and Chip's is about all they have to offer without the U.K standing with them.

The EU is now officially Kaput, This is but the first domino to fall and the rest of the rotting Zombie corpse will not be far behind, Germany is the only mainstay left and Merkel is
political toast at the next election.

I'm hesitant to interrupt the baseless assertions/ethnic stereotypes/doomsday fear-mongering. However.....most of Ireland managed to "set forth" as an independant nation mid last century. We're just waiting on the six counties in the North, Scotland and Wales to grow up and do likewise. Like all developing children and nations, they'll get there when they get there - It's just a matter of time. Meanwhile, the "mainland" of England can stew in it's own smug misery as they slowly come to regret the raft of lost opportunities for current and future generations. As this muddle is slowly sorted through over the next two years, my only hope is that the pro-brexit fragments of britain (i.e. england) are treated with the isolation they so clearly want, as they continue to fade the "glories of empire" to a complete lack of relevance on the world stage.

Demographic wars in the media.

This is Charmaine, she is a student in London. She doesn't want a bunch of old people making decisions for her future.

Normally when you post a quote you usually cite the author.

Sounds like something from Susan Boyle or Kanye, it has condescension of Kanye and the ignorance of Boyle.
Which one is it?

Got me there. It is in fact a direct quote from a socio-economic analysis of the political fragmentation of Europe which can be heard if you listen carefully to the latest Boyle/West single (I dreamed a dream I was a gold digger) played backwards. On slow. With your head in a bucket of custard (only works if the custard is made with english eggs).

Alernatively, I chose to share my own opinion.
You tell me which it is
(note: may require actual thinking)
 
May one smirk?

London is an international city, and we want to remain at the heart of Europe.
Let's face it - the rest of the country disagrees. So rather than passive aggressively vote against each other at every election, let's make the divorce official and move in with our friends on the continent.
This petition is calling on Mayor Sadiq Khan to declare London independent, and apply to join the EU - including membership of the Schengen Zone (Umm, we'll talk about the Euro...).
Mayor Sadiq, wouldn't you prefer to be President Sadiq? Make it happen!
