This song pretty much covers it (though perhaps replace IRA with Islamists), 40 years ago:

Almost posted this in the 'I smiked today because...' thread, but my OH is still pissing his sides. | Quote: | | | | Pro-Brexit Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin attacks Remainers after pub chain's profits plummet

Fun factor for (German speaking) people who are trying to figure out GB these days.
One wonders what century they live in?
And with the "Division Bell" being heard in the pubs and restaurants in the enviroment of the Westminster Palace one wonders what their problem with Muezzins is?

| Quote: | | | | | The electorate voted, people are not stupid & don't like being made a fool of. The silent majority will be much bigger next time. | | | | | So the number of people voting will be even smaller than last time, making the result even less representative of the population as a whole?
And this is good... how?

On a different note, I think Scotland will distance itself more and more....for instance they announced since February that EU students will study free of charge in Scottish universities.
It seems to me the old England will become Little England and not only in comedies. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/e...-a8190211.html https://www.studyinternational.com/n...udents-brexit/ |

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/e...-a8190211.html | | | | | This was already the case before Brexit. Everyone in the EU already gets free tuition at Scottish universities apart from “Little Englanders” (and northern bogtrotters and Taffs). This is discrimination but somehow Scotland gets away with it.

| Quote: | | | | | | | | | | Scottish independence is inevitable. The political and social culture of Scotland is incompatible with that of England and Wales.
I think Brits need to embrace reality and make positive efforts to make it happen. Kind of the complete opposite to what's happened with Brexit.
But that presumes that lessons can be learnt from history...  | | The following 2 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |
