"When Scotland votes to leave the Union and apply for EU membership"

Never going to happen, it requires English parliament to approve the referendum.

Now in fantasy land, if England voters would be shot of the Scots in a flash

I am absolutely willing to place a wager on a 2nd referendum being held in Scotland within the next 2 years (assuming that for whatever reason Brexit is not stoppedd)

Brexit has happened already

You're probably better throwing your money into your garden, hoping ot will turn into a money tree

Also read a conversation about the EU fishing rights issue that is locking up a potential deal........UK and Westminster screaming about British waters and then someone chirped in with "when Scotland votes to leave the Union and apply for EU membership, Britain will lose 70% of the waters anyway as they will be Scottish waters, so stop whining" lol
we will get a deal - the EU knows it

we are desperate for one, they will present one to us, ready to sign in November - it will give them 90% of what they want, we will get scraps - but still sign

it won't stop the concreting over of Kent, UK hauliers requiring permits, no pet passports etc etc

it will just be **** instead of (by the governments own calculations) catastrophic

well done brexidiots

only 4 years ago we had the "best" deal in the EU - now an international laughing stock

Typical remainiac negativity, completely ignoring the wonderous commercial opportunities, selling drinks, snacks, magazines etc to the thousands of truckers stranded in their cabs for days at a time. This incalculable boost to our economy alone will make all the pain worth it!

It'll be like when you go through customs at the airport, you've got a captive market and you can double the price!
Banning liquids was an absolute genius stroke - rather suspicious how that liquid bomb just happened to be found at a UK airport
Give it a couple of years to get the system up and running, then there will be a ban on carrying pies and pop into the customs zone! ​​​​​​​

If you voted for it, I really do not give a ****. If you deliberately burn down your house, you cannot complain when you have nowhere to live

I was proud to be part of the EU, I felt it represented a very modern establishment of formally rivel countries forming a union, and with a desire to expand the union and prosper together.

Imperfect, but peaceful, free trade, free movement, surely what we would all wish for.

Nationalism, is always a retrograde step.

I absolutely do see myself as a EU citizen. I am more proud to be a EU citizen than an English citizen.

how are we doing Brexidiots

trade border in the UK's internal market (NI)

Internal travel restrictions in the UK (Kent)

Concreting over the SE - and all to get a ****tier deal than we had

what amusing (thankfully I have always though Kent a ****hole) is that Brexidiots sort of assume this is temporary = err NO, this is it, it genuinely is not "just for Christmas"

the only way it gets "better" is if we trade less with the EU - then is gets worse, higher prices, less choice. more paper work

if it gets better and we trade more with the EU - then it gets worse, more traffic, more pollution. more truckers pissing in hedgerows, more paperwork, more concrete

oh and not just Kent - all the regions that trade with the EU

what hilarious kunts you brexiters are

The Swiss people clearly have a much better understanding about the idea and reality of taking back control in a world economy!
