Those are the words I was hearing from Sturgeon, that their objectives align and work together, but didn't go further than that

Well, population in EU countries couldn't care less about how we treat the UK after the Brexit. Why should they? Not their problem, the Brits voted for it.
And how is it blackmailing? Either you accept the rules to enjoy certain economic benefits, or you decide not to. That's what it's like for all countries in the EEA.

Great film, might give it a rewatch tonight.
This is awful, but reading it in Onslow's voice made it funnier. The first time I've even thought about laughing today.
I feel totally disenfranchised more than I even was before with the political systems o the world. My vote as a young, left wing voter in the UK is just worthless. I can't even vote in a referendum and make a damn difference. Boomers are just going to keep booming and I feel powerless politically.

French President François Hollande demands that the UK start the exit process "as soon as possible"
Edit: So did Donald Tusk (EU Commission), Jean-Claude Juncker (EU Parliament), Martin Schulz and Mark Rutte

I'm just hoping "Britain first" won't become "British first" and then "strangers out" and so on...
The leaders behind the Brexit I've seen on the British TV are... well they seem angry after a lot of people :/
(Nigel Farage... didn't knew him before)

The country costs money rather than makes it and by a large margin, their deficit is in the billions. If they were just breaking even or even just making a small loss, ROI would snap them up, but having them would really weaken their economy.

How is it even possible for London to remain within the EU? Am I missing something?

It would probably be one of the richest countries in the world that's the tragedy.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.

Okay, so you want to have the joys of being an EU member, without the burdens of being an EU member? Got it. And how do you think that's going to work?

It's their choice to leave , indeed. And it's not going to be a pretty ceremony where everyone is laughing. Want to leave ? Want to stop providing money ? The leaving negociations are not going to be " Yeah , sure"
Especially when you raising that flag for many years and used that to ge a free pass on economic trades .. The rest of Eu don't have a short memory span.
I'm not saying that it's ok to "punish".. But if you don't want to follow the rules of an union, then don't be surprised that people are not going to be nice about it
Yeah and hopefully by then there won't be a massive disparity between what the youth at the time want and what I want. And hopefully then, the older generation can come together to think of how it would actually affect the future generations.

Trust Sky News to go for the inflammatory questioning
"If you say Scotland is forward looking, do you mean England is backwards?"

My man.
Proud to live in Bristol and to see Bristol and Bath be so open and tolerant, and very staunchly remain. If London wants to fuck off and do its own thing, please take us with you?
Thank-you for informing us what we can and cannot do.

My other half is Scottish and we spend large amounts of time up there. I'm not being mean - this is literally legal fact. Matters of constitutional basis are decided by Westminster. Legally, Scotland could hold 50 referendums and they don't mean anything - unless Westminster agrees they do.
And no country in the EU or the west would recognise Scotland as an independent country under those circumstances (putin might to cause trouble!).
Again, this is not being mean or unpleasant - it's just the legal fact.
Can the Queen do something? Allowing Scotland to join the EU without leaving the UK for example.
Or
Can Scotland join the EU without leaving the UK?
Please educate me
The Queen cannot get involved in this.
I'm not actually shocked fits perfect for our attitude around here. Why do you think most of Jeremy Kyle guests are from around Manchester
Leavers regret. I think you'll have a good amount of it. People having second thoughts would only be natural. Too late now folks.
Because it is an economic and political nightmare.
I can see it continuing to run from stormount and everyone voting in the presidential elections though. some sort of United Ireland with two governments.

ROI dependent on EU aid, NI dependent on GB aid.
EU coffers lost a big contributor today.
Wonder what will happen ?

I'll just put this here:
Considering the only thing (other than the tomatoes) from this picture I like is beans, maybe I should go to UK while I can?
Sturgeon announced as part of her speech that she'd been in talks with Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London) over moving towards Independence and remaining in the EU.
I guess the idea is that London and Scotland would be the "continuity UK" while the rest of the country is cast off into the Atlantic.
