thplinth Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) The EU are going to punish Britain for leaving just the same as rUK was going to punish Scotland had we voted YES. They are going to make it their mission that this decision becomes a failure and is an example to any other EU members thinking of jumping ship. Just the same as rUK would have made it their mission to see a newly independent Scotland struggle and fail. Remember shortly before the Scottish referendum when Cameron flew to Shetland for a mystery visit. Well he was going to offer that they stay in the UK had it been YES (as they clearly did not support independence). Pretty sure that would have happened had we voted YES. Well if that was ok back then then it is ok now and if the EU offered Scotland and NI that option as a fukk you to England it would be a great way for them to start on their mission to make Britain (or more accurately England & Wales) pay for their act of rebellion. This could get very tasty. Edited June 24, 2016 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The Leave camp seem to be a bit "oh christ what have we done here". Looking at and listening to Gove and Boris there was not inspiring confidence at all. This is going to be amusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The other person who this is a big win for is Rupert Murdoch. He has Gove in his pocket. Would not be at all surprised if he pushed him for PM at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour totally disconnected with its core vote on a range of issues. Personally I would prefer Corbyn to remain but I don't think he understands what is happening outside London.
