by a small % and the SNP has said that the fact of the UK leaving the EU has changed the circumstances and would ask for a new referendum

I think it will take a few years to put another referendum up for vote. It’s not like it’s a State proposition. And as the story goes ... the king may die, I may die, or the horse just might learn to talk.

I am of Scottish descent, and I am sickened by what they have become. If the putrid, Communist, Islamo-loving, homo-embracing snowflakes want to be joined at the hip with Adolf Merkel, them let them go.

Northern Ireland voted to stay as well.

There is now open talk of them joining the rest of Ireland.
My ancestral countrymen may be about to achieve something through the back door that 150 years of terrorism and troubles could not give them. A united Ireland.

It looks that way. England would return to being little England of the 12th century - minus the duchy of normandy

He was the guy with too many notes?

It all started with the Scottish Enlightenment, and that started with the Education Act of 1496.

I think any existing member of the EU can block the admission of a new member. If Scotland voted to separate from England, Spain would probably veto their admission to the EU...they oppose any separatism as setting a bad example for Catalonia.

Nope. Scotland gets a subsidy from EU because of their lower economic status compared to Germany, France & England. I remember $1000 per person subsidy.

Loved that play and the movie!

But that snarky remark hardly fits someone who LED AN EMPIRE'S MILITARY BAND and who plays NO instrument; even though he DID start out as a drummer boy. ;^)

Sorry.

I didn’t know that making sense was required.

When it comes to my great, great grandfather, it most assuredly does! He wasn't just some dressed up "pretty-boy"; he actually was also a very brave soldier, who was presented with many medals by the Emperor himself!

Oh, yes, we can joke around about a lot of stuff....just NOT my family. :-)
