Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[chrisd]

Nope. I'm telling you that as a part of the union Scotland is no more significant than East Anglia, the West Midlands or the southwest of England. You bleat on about how Scotland is treated as a minor partner and I'm saying that is because it is deserved. And if an independent Scotland joined the EU it would be the same there. You wouldn't be an equal partner as you like to claim. You would be a minor voice. If you really want that then you'd better get used to being a ventriloquist dummy with a German or French hand up your bum speaking on your behalf.

Sums it up pretty good for me.

Just add though, when we've gone there wont be any EU handouts as they've got no income to handout!

Last two posts, brutal. 😖👍😁

I really don't think you need to use this tone, comes over awfully, just so you know. Your heritage is Anglo Saxon and Norman, that's basically German and French. Your language is based largely on German and French too. Why not embrace it instead of the superiority complex and 'them and us' xenophobic rubbish. Does your arrogance knows no bounds? Mods should be all over this thread, the undertones are disgusting over numerous posts this evening.

Your language is based on Anglo Saxon/French as well and your heritage is Irish, Scandinavian and Anglo Saxon. Embrace it.

Guess your a Scott then. If it was the English being castigated you would be in with both feet.

Interesting that you can read a "tone" into a written post. My heritage has nothing to do with it, nor does what my language (or equally your's) is based on. There's no superiority complex or them and us in my post. And if you consider it arrogance to point out that you aren't an equal partner in the union based on population size and wouldn't be if an independent Scotland joined the EU then I would suggest that you stop being such a delicate flower and should accept reality. There's nothing xenophobic about my post I'm simply pointing out that you are a minor partner in the UK and would be an even more minor partner as an independent country in the EU. If you're that offended then report my post and let the mods deal with it.

More evidence that the May administration was a Remainer ramp disguised by empty commitments to Leave. Worst govt of modern times.

Some of the comments and “tone” by your fellow remoamers has been a lot worse

Then look to your own posts and dont patronise.

Goodness me, and you think there is nothing Xenophobic about your post.
Never reported anyone to the mods, sorely tempted a few times though.

Didnt know people could report themselves.

So go for it then. There was nothing xenophobic about my post. How is it xenophobic to point out that population-wise Scotland is no more important than some other areas of the UK? You have an over-inflated idea of the importance of Scotland.

That was not the population difference in the two countries when the deal was struck.

Forgive me if I've got it wrong (I'm not really up to speed on Scottish "politics") but are you saying that since some deal or other was struck, the populations of Scotland and/or England have changed dramatically? Is this a case of many Scots dying off before procreating, or moving away from the country of their birth?

Reminds me of the old joke. What trait binds Aussies and Scots? They all insist that they come from the best country in the world - but they won't go back there to live

Mind you, their chips are about the same size

And, it hasn't gone unnoticed that of the most vociferous "remainers" on the Forum, it seems that a dis-proportionally large percentage of them seem to have some Scottish connections.

Apologies to Foxy (AKA Which Tyler - leader of the Pedants Revolt) for starting a post with "And"!!!!!!

And of course the definition of a well-balanced Scotsman. One who has a chip on each shoulder.

I didn't mean to start a string of Scottish jokes! Lordy lordy! Where would that end!!!!!

Boris stands outside number 10 and delivers a speech and immediately our dear Laura ignores what he says and puts the biased BBC story on it 😣

I dont normally get involved in the political threads but this post intrigues me. I watched Boris' speech, and "dear Laura's" comment. And am wondering what was the "biased BBC story" that she told? Genuinely interested; elucidate if you care to.
