I'm not sure they can, Sturgeon can stamp her foot how she likes, it doesn't mean diddly.

Well Salmond was told two years ago that the EU won't hold any discussions with a region of a member state, it's likely Sturgeon be told to go and play in the corner whilst the grownups talk.

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!!

Normally, I'd agree majority rules but this is a different case. Scotland has her own Parliament and could be independent in 2 years.

It is just possible London could become a State within a State like the Vatican.

Good article here: http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/06/b...-great-divide/
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.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Hopefully Brexit means some positive changes for London, go to Paris experience the rich heritage of France and hear the amazing French language every where you go. Infact that's the same all European Capital city's. Now go for a day trip to London the capital of England..................

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....

Interesting article. Reminds me of the French Revolution with the Aristocrats on one side and the French peasants on the other.

You are right though. As I mentioned earlier, the French are feeling under no obligation to host UK Border Control. Indeed, why should they when we are now leaving the EU?
If migrants want to come to the UK, the UK will have to handle it. The French can just watch and drink their wine
If the migrants do make it across the Channel then there may well be a camp in Dover.

Is it that you just do not like people having different opinions to you? As far as I can tell, you think someone that debates anything contrary to your position requires insulting ... where did you learn this debating style?

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

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!

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

To be expected. Hopefully we'll keep most of it though. We have to try and ensure services in included in any agreement.

Correct. Makes more sense in French, where their province is Bretagne and we are Grand Bretagne.

This was one of the gambling banks that in this case had to bailed out by the fed to the tune of $100m. Not exactly a shining example of probity.

There's a plan, the remain side should've pushed to hear what it was, things could've been different if they'd concentrated on what the opposition were saying and expected the future to hold rather than painting scary pictures of wwiii
