Is hyperbole like an exaggerated version of the super bowl?

FFS, some of the hyperbole from remainers is genuinely hysterical.

Besides, oil has plummeted in price since the last sweaty referendum, so the outcome may not be as clear cut as it would first appear.

The thing is though, voting out of the UK is one thing, it would then take years for them to actually join the EU.

Check out some of the links I posted earlier about how Scotland could be fast tracked or allowed never to leave the EU according to some EU politicians.

Strawman. Why would Scotland want to keep the tanked British pound? Scottish banks already print their own currency. It would be simple to start a Scottish pound.

That's something the SNP clowns don't seem to realise. Scotland is, and always will be, better off in the United Kingdom. I doubt that Scottish Independence will happen.

Total bollocks. Why would Scotland always be better in the UK? Just saying it without explanation doesn't make it so.

They could even join the euro, but I wouldn't advise to that soon. The situation needs to stabilize first.

Meanwhile, Brexit has pumped Portugal's real estate market a bit. Good.

So, you think, honestly, that we shouldn't be trading with India because they have a dodgy prime Minister?

Honestly?

Well trading with a neo-fascist is a major problem. But a bigger one is the fact that nobody within the BJP knows how to run an economy.

I noticed you're missing Scotland and Northern Ireland from your list. And yes it's a good thing. As Sofa asked, do you really think we should cease trading just because the leader is a little dodgy?

First of all I don't think there are enough lies English pols can tell to keep Scotland in when the next referendum triggers, and they're definitely not interested in funding the shortfall in NI's needs now that EU funding is going to br removed, making a united Ireland a more attractive prospect.

All they'd have to do is swap the u for a second o.

We Portuguese have a calm about things... we welcome immigrants from everywhere and generally people get along, barring the occasional crime that happens even without immigrants. We are under fire by the EU for missing the deficit goal, but instead of being babies and ragequit over it, we are fighting to make EU know that we are in trouble and further sanctions will only aggravate the situation. Lol, not even migrants want to come here.

I stand. Shit need to be better, and we need to work to make it better. There was an extreme left party claiming a referendum after brexit, akin to syriza on greece. Their proposal was laughed at and dismissed fast.

Because they don't know the first thing about the different setup between the economy up north and down south. That's why they think it to be so.
