How can the country socially heal when we've effectively given NI to the EU without asking them, and the next few years Scotland will be doing their best to extricate themselves from the UK and get the same terms as NI in the short term with a view to independence and EU membership?I have been against Brexit since 2016 and still am.
I just think that the situation we find ourselves in, being very dire, can only move forward and socially heal the country by leaving with a deal and a FTA.
The referendum was stupid, the vote to leave a mistake but now we’ve done it there’s no other option to allow us to move on.
These people get paid a bloody good wage and have legal representatives in their midst so the sob stories don't work for me...In a very rushed timetable, not much time for detailed scrutiny and debate even compared to the most routine legislation.
And any political party is welcome to campaign on a no deal vs deal referendum, or ni deal vs remain, or whatever,, and if they get a majority at a GE, then put that to thd people again. As long as they dont campaign 'every preferrable imaginable deal, yet to be explored' vs remain, which is what got us into this mess.

Can Scotland afford to stand alone as an independent nation? Surely notHow can the country socially heal when we've effectively given NI to the EU without asking them, and the next few years Scotland will be doing their best to extricate themselves from the UK and get the same terms as NI in the short term with a view to independence and EU membership?
How can the country socially heal
I'm looking forward to the country finding out that a significant chunk of what cunty mccuntface in number 10 is promising is going to be near possible to implement in practise. It's all good and well promising to go to the moon, and getting everyone super giddy that we're going to go to the moon and it's going to be fucking ace, but when they find out that no ones been hired to build the rocket, oh, and the technology for the rocket doesn't exist yet, so i'm afraid we're just going to Rhyl instead......How can the country socially heal when we've effectively given NI to the EU without asking them, and the next few years Scotland will be doing their best to extricate themselves from the UK and get the same terms as NI in the short term with a view to independence and EU membership?
2 down, 63 to go.
Make that 1 down. Crispin Odey is not an MP.
But the government is threatening to pull the whole thing if there are amendments! It seems Johnson's personal "dead in a ditch" deadline is more important than actually "getting Brexit done".They need to focus on the amendments
Why not?Can Scotland afford to stand alone as an independent nation? Surely not
Apparently it took them longer to debate the Wild Animals In Circus Act - I think the jokes write themselves on this one......
There'll be no shortage of business transferring from England if Scotland achieve their ambition of becoming an EU member.
By everyone accepting the result of a democratic vote.
We have managed it for hundreds of years but all of a sudden, some cant/wont.

His question was addressed to @Chippy_boy to be fair. And with that in mind, I think he's wrong as I don't think Chippy ever said we should simply cancel Brexit, and he's always been in favour of honouring the referendum result even though it's not the result he desired. What he did do is passionately argue the case for remaining being the better option - so much so, that I took a lot of what he said on board in the run-up to the vote and even though I still voted to leave, he put his points across in layman's terms - points that actually carried some validity, which is more than can be said for the Remain campaign itself which seemed not to focus on all the good things about EU membership but instead all the bad things that might happen if we left. Not that the Leave campaign was any better of course.
The Benn act was one page.But not the Benn act.
Parliament can move when it wants and at a pace it wants we got told when the Benn act went through in a day.
3 days is ample for a subject they have discussing for the last 3 years.
Get on with it.
We’ve also managed to preserve the union for hundreds of years.
It will be interesting if the same ability to choose one or both nationalities is given to people both sides of the border as it is to those on the island of Ireland. Oh, and the English don't want a hard border either, otherwise there'll be trouble.Why not?

There'll also be no shortage of Scots living in England relocating back up there if the opportunities are better, and no shortage of English people doing the same subject to freedom of movement.
