For example, Britain isn't self-sufficient in food, and the EU has been the source of most food imports in recent times. If there's disruption at the channel ports on food imports Scotland is last in line in terms of the supermarket supply chain, because we are furthest away. And the further England's rulers take them away from the EU, the more difficult it will be make seamless borders with both blocs, and convince the Scottish electorate it will be a doddle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t be end of the line! We need our own port for food imports. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Listening to Hunt on Marr, I'm now convinced that the man is insane. He was prattling on about how being "British" carried respect throughout the world due to our great past etc and as a result of this we would be able to deal with anything that a "no deal" would bring. When asked about huge job losses he stated that it would be unfortunate but the "greater good" was more important and he was sure that the people losing their jobs would understand this. He then went on about slashing corporation tax as "putting money in the pocket of business was all that mattered". Christ, and I though Bojo was a terrifying prospect............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both equally horrifying prospects. Nicola summed it up nicely the other day when she said would you rather be run over by a bus or a lorry. Btw, I thought Sophy Ride made a complete mockery of BJ and his plans for leadership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen it but he’s definitely playing to the audience who will vote on whether or not he’s the next PM. There will be a majority of Tory Party members who genuinely believe that: a) British (English?) people are respected and envied by Johnny Foreigner, and/or; b) there’s something far wrong with those foreigners who don’t respect and envy British (English?) people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading that there was a group of folk who wanted Scotland to join the Netherlands instead of England in the early 18th century.

A federation might make Madrid less hung up about national integrity, Orkney and Shetland might devolve too. The majority of the 3 nations could spend the winters in Spain and the summers in Holland or Scotland, leaving robots and the English and Portuguese to look after things while we're away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
