I also think it'll blow over ... But it is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning? (groan / sorry)

what I'm trying to say (poorly), is we better get used to news like this. Scotland wants a referendum and Ireland's resurfacing troubles may (hopefully/finally) lead to a united island of Ireland. All of which is bad news for the Tans but great for Scotland & Ireland.

- nailer 5y agoScotland already had a ‘once in a lifetime’ referendum on leaving the U.K. and chose to remain.
- DyslexicAtheist 5y agosure, but meanwhile Brexit changed that dynamic drastically imo. I don't think it'll be beneficial for the Scottish economy (being so dependent on UK) to have the same hard border that is now in the Irish sea. Also ideology trumps common sense as we have seen with Brexit.
- nailer 5y agoAs a remain campaigner, I’d still say there are many common sense reasons to leave the EU for many countries. Considering Britain got what it wanted regarding immigration, trade, and fisheries it’s hard to argue otherwise.
