Anyway, another thread discussing the UK and the EU hijacked by he Scottish Nationalists... In what way would whats left of the UK be subsidising Scotland? Look back at the thread.

Why don't the English do the same rather than sit idly by and whine? Because it's just not that important to us. To most English it's like having an annoying, chavvy, ginger stepchild always moaning about something, but thankfully the council estate they live on is far enough away that it's easier to ignore them than completely disown them. There won't be many tears shed south of Northumberland if you leave, I can assure you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is currently on life support and the plug will be pulled on it very soon, thank god. Lots of hard working people are doing their utmost to put it to sleep, hopefully as painlessly as possible, although there are the belligerent minority who will, no doubt, cause problems, but they are all talk and no trousers in the main; more to be pitied than scorned.

Did the moderates let it happen or was it forced on them, it's a bit like someone spilling a tin of paint on your patio, it only takes a minute to spill, but a very long time to clean up, Boris is in the process of cleaning the mess up that Tony Blairs Labour Government subjected us to. I guess Tony Blairs idea of 50% students going to uni didn't help now did it, all it created was a false impression that unemployment was low, he thought that the students would bind to the Labour Party and finally he wanted future generations to be loyal left wing followers of socialism. These people leave uni with worthless qualifications and a mountain of debt and suddenly it's all the fault of the Tories. That is why you don't get many elitist university leavers marching our streets with banners proclaiming 'Labour Scum' as opposed to the, shall we call them conditioned students marching and chanting 'Tory Scum. In affect they are taught to hate at uni and it takes a long time for that condition to wear off.
