I had a little poke around the other international organisations of which the UK are members, and it seems leaving any of these is simplicity itself. The UN effectively requires us to repurchase our seat at the top table every few decades, but there isn't issue/ penalty to relinquishing this.
NATO again has core obligations as a membership requirement, but leaving not an issue - assuming we are happy to forgoe the protection of other members in the event of ww3. This is more problematic as I'm sure ww3 was at one point proposed as a consequence of brexit. The commonwealth is probably the easiest of the lot to ditch, as it's essentially an old part of UK plc, and the EU have legislated us out of any trade benefits.
It seems only the EU are so wonderful and generous to provide a structure which is too good to leave.

Who's fine doing that?
Being against Brexit is not the same as supporting Corbyn. Corbyn actually wants Brexit.
Surely you must know that.
Or maybe not.

Of he course he does. I’ve stated many times ‘he’s a true Brexit hero’
Twice (?) he whipped his mp’s to vote against the single market amendments. As an example.

You’re talking about people who think Brexit is going to ruin the economy yet are fine giving the keys to the treasury to IRA Jonny and a marxist tramp both of which have already started planning for capital flight and a run on the pound.

I think you should bear in mind that some of us want not only brexit but also IRA Jonny and the Marxist tramp in downing St. I'm sure this is because I'm a racist, communist stupidist or some other 'ist' that someone would like to call me to make them more comfy in their own views.

I think that's what really upsets some people. Democracy is ok until it doesn't go your way.
Eg tory leadership
Labour leadership
Brexit
Trump
Scottish referendum

Something for everyone of every political persuasion on that list - all results of democratic process that the majority minority can't swallow. Truly the age of the toddler - I'm having similar issues getting mine to accept it's time for a nap.

Yeah have a nap yourself pal.
It'll be all ok when you wake up.
 
It depends how bad it gets.
If it's only a bit shitty, Scotland may wee decide to stick it out with the Sassenachs, but that is very unlikely. The most probable outcome for Scotland is economoc devatation. People may then decide that they have nothing to lose from Independence. In that case people may decide that a decade of crap with EU membership at the end of the tunnel is better than a decade of crap with nothing to show for it. It also depends on what the EU offer Scotland in terms of e.g. fast tracking.

If the Scots are smart they will form an alliance with N Ireland where both rejoin the EU as a single entity. It would be a win for everyone as reunification could be kicked into the long grass.

Wouldn’t a formal alliance between Scotland and NI have implications for the peace process?

Membership of UN or NATO does not require us to sign up to act as part of a large multi-national trading bloc from which we obtain significant economic benefits. If it did, no doubt leaving those organisations in a constructive way would also require some form of withdrawal agreement.

How did you reach that bizarre conclusion? U.K. Rail companies tried to screw more money from European tourists/travellers and pulled out (or were chucked out - some conflicting reports on that) of the scheme. Uproar ensued and U.K. companies did a swift 180 and now peace and harmony reigns.

You guys need to lay off the paranoia juice. Its fucking with your heads.
