How ?
Sturgeon threatening to Veto the exit.
Thanks El. Footy more important now
Whoosh!!!!
It's BORDERS!!!!!
Malta asked for the UK's help in the 18th Century to get rid of the French Invaders. Anything done since then was purely British self interest. Malta was strategically important to Britain and that is why the Germans and Italians wanted it.
No worries, easy to get caught up with something you read that sounds dramatic.Agreed, my bad.
No, he was talking about lodgers.
So do you really believe that the EU doesn't already trade with some of the largest, fastest growing economies in the world?
I agree with control of laws but am not convinced we will ever be able to control immigration. Sure I read that approx 50% of immigrants were from non EU countries. I suspect any trade deals with EU will have clauses about free movement.

Did you know, for example, the Nicola Sturgeon might veto our exit, so it won't happen after all!

she's batshit ****ing mental. So if Scotland votes for independence, our MPs just laugh and say 'nope'. Yeah, she'd be fine with that.SNP leader Ms Sturgeon said that "of course" she would ask MSPs to refuse to give their "legislative consent".
In an interview with the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme she was asked what the Scottish Parliament would do now.
Ms Sturgeon, whose party has 63 of the 129 Holyrood seats, said: "The issue you are talking about is would there have to be a legislative consent motion or motions for the legislation that extricates the UK from the European Union?
"Looking at it from a logical perspective, I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be that requirement - I suspect that the UK government will take a very different view on that and we'll have to see where that discussion ends up."
So Scotland has to give legal consent to trigger Article 50.SNP leader Ms Sturgeon said that "of course" she would ask MSPs to refuse to give their "legislative consent".

When Ms Sturgeon was asked by presenter Gordon Brewer whether she would consider asking the parliament not to back such a motion of legislative consent she replied "of course".
She added: "If the Scottish Parliament was judging this on the basis of what's right for Scotland then the option of saying look we're not to vote for something that's against Scotland's interest, of course that's got to be on the table."
What referendum?No one has tried to invoke article 50 yet, so not an issue?
I think that's probably the case. In a way it's a shame we didn't have three options on the ballot paper - it could have at least differentiated between leavers who are mainly concerned about things like sovereignty / law-making, etc and those who were mainly wanting to stop immigration.
I always liked Nicola...!
We are the 2nd biggest economy in the EU and the 5th biggest economy in the world whilst being the EU's biggest market for them to sell their stuff to us.
So what happens ?
There is no way we can have a general election on the basis of whether we want to be in the EU or out. That would be completely farcical as that is just what the referendum has decided. Imagine the Scots having their leave referendum and voting for independence and then having an election where parties fought on the basis of being part of the union?
Ridiculous.
No, the process has started and there is no way we will be involved again with the EU in its current form.
Can you post a link to this. It's got to be thrown in her face every time she mentions Scottish Independence. Of course the English will not vote for something that's not in their interests.SNP leader Ms Sturgeon said that "of course" she would ask MSPs to refuse to give their "legislative consent".

What are you talking about? We're not going to tell them to choose between us. They currently export a lot to us, and they will want to continue to.So you think the EU is going to prioritise trading with us in favour of internally and with the rest of the world.
That's incorrect, please keep up.We're now the 6th biggest economy in the world and that was because we've thought about leaving.
