Current Affairs EU In or Out

The irony that had the government used the weeks leading up to the end of October to explain the Withdrawal Agreement Bill and allow for debate on amendments before putting it to parliament to approve; instead of lying to the queen/lying to court in order to prorogue parliament - then he might have Brexit by now- seems to be lost on Pete and his fawning servility to Johnson.

Pete is nothing if not a good old fashioned establishment boot licker. They still invite him to parties too.

He's an acceptable sort. To those that take a very narrow, some would say 'whitewashed', view of what an acceptable sort is.

A tory majority at the impending election and the implementation of a likely hard Brexit will see the break up of the Union. Johnson’s smirky, dismissive response to Ian Blackford just now, along with the NI issue will cause irreversible divisions.

I think the Union is going to break up regardless of what type of Brexit we have.

Both a United Ireland and an independent Scotland are now unstoppable in the near future IMO.

Twenty years, tops.

Merry old England, safely ensconced within its own borders. Good old Hadrian was literally millennia ahead of his time

The Great Leader: If he isn't lying, he's running away; if he's not running away or lying, then he's demonstrating complete incompetence.

Good made up if it happens in my lifetime.
They need to go there own way if there populations feel it's the right thing to do, no use being in a union if there isnt the support for it, don't think the majority in England would give it a second thought if both went tomorrow.
If the English had a vote to bin them off it wouldn't even be close.

UK government's post-Brexit environment bill comes in for criticism

What happens to the UK's targets on air pollution following Brexit? The UK government’s plans for environment laws after Brexit are still not fit for purpose in parts, and there remain questions over the independence of a new environmental watchdog, MPs will warn today. The criticism of the...

the best bit is they’ll all be speaking Welsh about thirty years after that, once the reconquest is complete

A typical, stereotypical, blinkered, LWNJ view.
It is Scotland who wish to leave the union (allegedly) and are pushing hard to do so - not England.
And so they should. If they have a vote and choose to leave then so be it. That is their call.
It's called democracy...
