Brexit could be a godsend to the EU,if used properly,and a well deserved disaster for UK.

They also make it very clear Scotland would be very welcome to join.
Always been pro the Union, and would hate to see it break up- but the way this Governement has treated Scotland, I just could not blame them. I reckon a lot of business of every kind would move there- and tourism would be very successful.

and Britain leaving the EU then I'm sure that this is what she would say. Hilarious interview with Nicola Sturgeon about Scotland |

That the UK had the temerity to want to leave the EU?!
Disagreeing with Brexit is perfectly fine, as is disliking the current government. Hoping that the country suffers as a result, or for the breakup of the union though is just mean spirited and nasty. The worst type of Remainers want this, it's beyond logic to have such spiteful feelings to ones own country.

Im not british.
UK deserves to suffer for centuries of causing pain and sorrow to the whole world.
Also UK, was a stumbling bloc for the whole EU,a trojan horse,planted inside our Union.
I fully support Brexit,because i know its the best for Europe and worse for UK.

Arielch has been a member since 2017. You appear to have been a member for 11 years yet barely post. Just sayin'. Opinions are opinions. If the EU doesn't screw the UK at some point I'll be very surprised. It'll definitely happen in a decade or so when the then gov't wants back in, cap in hand.
Arielch, bit harsh about the UK causing "pain and sorrow to the whole world" though I reckon.

I see you are from Poland? It may be interesting for you to learn that Polish is now the second most spoken language in the UK. You should also perhaps look a little closer to home to see who is currently behaving like a trojan horse, causing the most subversion from within!

To be fair, Brexit is totally going to bone the UK. Prices are already rising. It'll be like the switch from imperial to metric - costs rising in all the dismal confusion just because they can.

You dont need to tell me about what Germany did,im jewish,and if you have moved before 1939,nothing of that sorth would have happened,but you did nothing,for your own selfish interests,and blocked jewish refugees from arriving in the land of Israel.In fact,when Poland got invaded in 1939,you did nothing,and broke another pact.
The French,Spanish and Dutch,dont go around giving moralizing diatribes.

From 2017 to 2020 is 3 years,not 11.
Is not harsh,is the reality,wherever they went,they screw it.With supposed moral intentions,of course.

Currently over 4,000,000 EU nationals have applied for the EU settlement scheme to stay in the UK, including over 750,000 Poles.
Not bad for a country that's apparently finished.

I'm allowed to think your comment harsh, just as you're allowed to think the UK is shit.
