There's no hope for Britain. Scotland and n. Ireland can still save themselves if they leave the sinking ship
Remember, fellas: There's more of you than England. If Scotland, Treasonous Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall all decide to leave there's nothing the limey redcoat gits can do about it.
Northern Ireland is a little different, but if any of the others want a hope in hell they'd need to join the EU, as they'd need to get grants to replace all the tax money generated by London.
This is where NI comes back in because you may have noticed having a land border with no infrastructure is a pretty massive issue for EU membership.
Scottish/Cornish independence is driven by the same blind nationalism and self-exceptionalism that created Brexit, as well as the same sentiments of 'something has to change, might as well be that'. We need to stop this isolationism and embrace the union in a way that works for all the devolved nations, as well as push Westminster for a serious rejoin conversation for the whole UK before the next GE.
I am going to wipe England off all the maps I own and pretend it doesn't exist.
Treasonous Ireland? We used to call it the Free State
I think he was on about Norn Iron, not The Republic.
There's so much potential, and it's all being thrown in the gutter.
