There's a triggered joke in there somewhere.
It was an "identity politics" parallel.
"Close" is a relative notion. I don't think the time span between the referenda is stipulated by some law. Moreover, Scotland may state changing the international status of the UK (against the will of the Scots) as a reason for a new referendum. So if Nicola is really determined to get a referendum and not just trying to get favorable concessions from London (much as Cameron did with the EU) she should popularize it within her realm.Quote:

In the article 51% was mentioned, not 69%. And this is a precarious majority, easily overcome given proper PR campaign.Quote:

Depends on the determination of those at power who would like to initiate referenda until they get the result they want.Quote:

They can, why don't. The EU is holding an empty gun at their head. Eurocrats need humiliation
Are you moving to the UK any time soon so that you can experience life outside the EU? Or are you still going on about how life will be brilliant, whilst not having to face any of the consequences?Quote:

Get it of me for me please I fucking hate the EU and their judas-kiss, and thankly, you much more influential Brits swamped them and boy are they kicking, knowingQuote:

Stop telling people who live in the UK what the UK is like and will be like. You don't have a clue.Quote:

The EU won't back down out of this - the 100 billion proposed will stay, so that's a serious stumbling block.
Explain it better than, all I get is booohoooohooo that was my Ken-dolll you don't understand. Nothing happened so far no, of course not everybody benefits. And not everybody comes there for tourism either.Quote:

I saw corbyn saying he'd take a bad deal over no deal, that is a far greater threat to our negociations than a long irrelevant talking point.
If you are here to debate I suggest bringing arguments instead of regurgitating your favourite commentator's one liners. If you are just here to vent, I am sure you can find any number of willing echo chambers on reddit.
heh Brits don't like to be bullied, wether they like miss May or notQuote:

Very big lol, stfu, you must (yoda voice)
I love you Brits X, a few indifferences in the past alas
edit2, the UK can actually do this, this is so beautifull, never screw what you can get back three times, are the old ways
Aren't you a Corbyn fan? ISTR you posting some of their echo chamber arguments in the Labour thread, to counter primary sources that I'd posted.Quote:

But anyway , if you are here for meaningful debate do you have any comment on the Boris lying this morning when he claimed that the lie that was sold to the nation over Brexit is included in the manifesto?
And if it is as you claim a long irrelevant talking point why was the minister talking about it again this morning and trying to convince the voters that the lie he sold is indeed the truth?
oh ffs why is Boris even an argument he's a dead man walking he will be dumped. I'm not English and not good in English sarcasm but even I get that much
