I think she is preparing the ground for a possible new independence referendum in the hope that once free of the UK the EU will let Scotland join at an accelerated rate.

I suspect that given the apparent anger at the UK generally the EU probably doesn't really want anything to do with us.

Wonder if the remain areas of London are thinking of going independent too!! ;)

He is right about the overlooked people in society although I think he makes the same generalisations of Remainers as he accuses them of making about Leavers.

Nope. I think London should have more devolved powers though. It is getting to the point where policy needs to be different, i.e housing, than the rest of the country. I am not sure what it would involve exactly but the country can't be helped by a London-centric focus and London can't be helped by measures targeting the rest of the country.

Can someone please explain this.

I was told today, that the country that is most worried is Poland, and the polish people that are here already.

Now that we have voted to get out of Europe. Surely that IF Polish residents are here. It wont effect them ?

Umm still not really getting it. Isn't this what border control is for, so any Tom Dick or Harry doesn't just roll up, last time I checked we were an Island, why exactly would we be obliged to have a camp in Dover?

I must be getting old.

You've had a friend/colleague/neighbour/relative who has experienced/confirmed everything that's been stated about Brexit so far. Amazing, see you're busy on DS....

However, again this may not be accurate https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...k-after-brexit

From a personal point of view, my girlfriend is Austrian, has worked everyday here for 6 years, never used NHS and paid in and adapted to British life, hell she even has a season ticket for cricket with me.

And suddenly she feels rather unwelcome and to be honest I can't give her a good answer as to guarantee she is safe to remain here.

If suddenly she is made to go I would of course follow her to Austria but the flip side is as soon to be non-eu my once freedom of movement and right to work (and even travel to see her family) may not be allowed in Austria and why should they if we do the same to them

Thanks UK, thanks a bunch

I put the following on Facebook earlier in response to so many people posting things saying we don't have the right to be called Great anymore..

I don't see why this can't be an opportunity to show how Great we can be. Being all negative and defeatist is what removing the Great would be and yes the doom and gloom of Friday would be just that but if we're going to do this why not show the world how resilient we can be? Let's use this to fire up a patriotic British resurgence. I'm all for that as long as it's done *properly* and by that I mean celebrating GB and NOT hating or being hostile to anything foreign. Let's be proud of our country but the kind of pride that's colour blind and respects all other nations. Although I do respect the country I'm not a fan of Americanisms but the love they (generally) have for all things American is the sort of national pride we ought to have for Great Britain.

Again I only support an inclusive British pride, no racism or xenophobia should ever be cultivated or tolerated. Britain First, NF, BNP, EDL etc can all go to hell. We don't want the sort of GB they promote.

Let's have a truly great Great Britain rising from this!

Or because the Strasbourg (iirc) treaty we signed up to won't allow it



I can't remember where I heard this but doesn't the great in Britain refer to our location to Brittany, Greater and lesser, it was never to do with self congratulation or jingoism
