Please don't even go here! I am appalled with Britains take on the refugee crisis. Thousands of people just like you and me, there families dead and we want to send them back to a war zone! Or leave them on the edge of Europe to starve!
We are some of the richest country's in the world. I am sure history will look back on this time with the contempt we do with the atrocity's of world war 2.

  1. Well what can I say. The matter of principality is in doubt so we will beg to differ. Having never been to Wales in my life I can only guess what it is like. The problem I have always had with the place is the mad copper who wanted to send everyone found speeding 100 miles from the nearest person to prison for life.
We has lovely beaches and mountains you know, oh and sheep, very strange ones too :whistle:;)

England would stop the Barnett formula that subsidises Scotland, begin ship building again, move our submarines to Devonport and create a new oil port in somewhere like Hull or Newcastle
in comparison to the 53bl taxes we pay i still think we are getting the shitty end of the stick was far as the Barnet formula goes. to reopen you ship building ports and take the jobs away from the Clyde and Aberdeen would be a astronomical cost and absolutely pointless. Why would company's move from trusted work forces to new one, untested with cost that would be needing to recoup money for the construction of new facility's.

This is my comment on this subject as I am not getting drawn into this as it would me revealing too much of my private life.
As a person that has lived and worked in the Arab states many of these so called refugees come from it is my opinion we are idiots to have let any of them in without backgrounds checks but only time will prove me right. Try speaking to the people from Saudi and ask them why they are willing to give them billions in aid but won't let them in the country and the same goes for many other Arab countries with the exception of Jordan and the problems they are causing is far worse than anything the EU has seen yet. This is not something someone has told me its something I have seen and suffered because of it .

government offers very little intensive, had to beg for a descent rail link London, still only limited fights to London and only from Glasgow and Edinburgh nothing for the northern communities. it really feels like they are just happy to have us up there and not bothering the financial capital to much and tax us extra for the privilege.

Taking this to a European perspective I live and work in the EU, I live in Germany and mostly work in France. Forget what you hear on the news, the average French and German person is so envious of the UK and the Dutch are pressuring their Government about an exit plan. The plain fact is, the EU is rotten and corrupt. We have a Parliament in Strasbourg with over 1,500 elected members and no power. But in Brussels we have 26 Commissioner's who have been placed there by their respective Governments either as a favour or in the case of Peter Mandleson to get him out of the way till the heat dies down! These 26 people have more power than the European Parliament! These people are riding the gravy train and will do everything in their power not to upset the status quo. The idea of a united Europe is a lovely thing but all it's doing is profiting a few greedy people. When Mandleson took up his post he had about £1.7 million in the Bank which he didn't really want to talk about, when he left his post he had £17 million and was under an internal investigation! Now he sits in the Lord's! Democracy in action people!

As for the Scottish Shipyards, the EU made it easier for the German Shipyards to undercut the Scots ones hence the reason P&O and Cunard ships are built in Hamburg and not on the Clyde! Nothing to do with the British Government. At least Britain's new fleet of Warships are being built in Scotland. They could have been built far cheaper in Germany or South Korea!

Bit nervous about posting this due to the response I have had in the past,

Should Scotland and Northern Ireland be allowed to stay in Europe when Brexit finally rolls round?
(would have included Wales in that but as a whole you voted out p.s love the Welsh.x) (p.p.s love the English as well, I have a lot of love to give.xx)
We have Devolution and our own Parliaments so why should we be enforced to roll with something as a nation we did not vote for?
please don't get me wrong I am very proud to be a member of the United Kingdom but also very proud to be a member of the European Union but if push came to shove and there was a vote tomorrow I think I would vote to stay in Europe just because May and the British government are pissing me off so much just now.

over to you, your thought? If in England are you pissed there even could be a choice for us? If you voted out do you still think it was the right choice? If Welsh would you prefer to be in Scotland's position? Northern Ireland do you think it would be easier with the Irish border if you were both to stay in Europe?

please be nice.x
Oh sorry, thought it was the start of a joke....."Scotland, Great Britain and Europe walk into a bar......" Great discussion and thread. :)

My view is that we are a united Kingdom. Until that changes we had a referendum including all of the member states of the untied Kingdom and the result was we should leave Europe. I think that's what we should do as a united Kingdom.
I do think that each of the member countries of the United Kingdom have their own rights to govern but I also believe that complete independence would be a huge mistake and weaken everyone enormously. I believe to be part of Europe first any one country would have to leave the United Kingdom and then apply for a place in Europe.
