UK to leave EU

[The Grand Nudger]

Scottish voters will shit themselves at the last minute and vote to remain if there is one. And if they get independence which is unlikely, a few years down the line the SNP scum will be begging to get back into the UK.

Why?  A few years down the line they'll be in the EU and Britain (no more UK, sadface) will still be trying to recover from it's decision today.

I will not be moving from my homeland in the event of an Independence vote. And I will always identify as British even in an "independent" Scotland.

Dirty foreigner it is, then?

Scotland will always be British in my view. I quite fancy a civil war in Scotland with the British areas trying to break away and re-join the Union. Sorta like the Troubles, a wee bit. How fun!

You fancy wars in a way that leaves me certain that you've never seen one.

Unless Scotland splits from the UK and votes remain. Then you'll have to move south. Durham would be a nice compromise.

I have no intentions of moving anywhere because Scotland won't be going independent.

I seriously doubt that now.

Last time it was 45% Yes 55% No. Glasgow was overwhelmingly Yes, Edinburgh being a more cosmopolitan place was No.

I live and work in Edinburgh at an academic institute. Most people here are from the EU. Our boss was telling everyone to vote No because we rely on funding. Most people voted No and wanted us to be part of the UK.

Now most people are coming into work today knowing that their lives that they have built up here may be coming to an end because they can't rely on living here by being an EU national. The boss will know that the best way for us to get funding will be to be part of the EU. Today, EU nationals who want to continue living in Scotland will be best served voting for independence. All the businesses and international corporations in the central belt now have their last hope of staying in the EU with Scottish independence.

Westminster said whatever it took to get a No vote and became increasingly desperate when it looked like we'd get our independence. They then immediately went back on their word. It wasn't a case of more powers to Scotland, Cameron came out the very next day and started talking about English votes. Westminster then removed Scotland's powers to ban fracking. Westminster can't employ the same tactic again. Whatever desperate promises they make at the last moment, people can turn round and say that they said it before and broke their promises.

Scotland overwhelmingly voted to stay in the EU and is being dragged out despite that. The Yes vote has been rising since the IndyRef. The EU vote has tipped the balance.

Oh, my grandparents still remembered the last time everyone fancied a war. Finally a war in Europe!





Didn't end so well.

Didn't end so well.

For everyone involved. The last imperial war, an excercise in futility, since there haven't been bad or good guys. Preparing the soil for the second helping.

In all honesty Bella, what good do you think will come from your "freedom"?

To me it seems like you exchanged "a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage".

I personally think there won't be retribution one way or the other. My guess is that people will just go on with their lives.

After the Scottish independence referendum the only retribution was from some far right wing unionists who went on a rampage in Glasgow. But they'll all be Ranger's fans and known for that kind of thing.

But other than those fuck wits everyone just got on with their lives. Except Scottish politics became even more energised.

Yes voters were equally as violent.

One of my favorite songs. Probably due to romantic associations.

Why?

Because the SNP asswipes won't be happy to realise that they'd be at the back of the queue for EU membership. It could take years.

Scotland would be beyond a third world country without UK assistance.

Dirty foreigner then, is it?

Nope. I was born here and consider myself British even in the event of an independence vote. The only government I recognise is the British government.

We've had our Indy referendum and the majority voted No. If the vote today was a remain, would you support us having another referendum in say two or three years time? Probably fucking not.

No, I haven't seen a war.
