Bye bye, Britain

[InsaneApache]

You would also have the Royals in England all year round. Surely that is a cost to far.

As you are well aware she's also the Queen of Scotland.

Interesting perspectives from our American friends on Canada and Australia. I wonder if you are aware that there are a lot of immediate family ties from the UK to both of those countries. I have first cousins in both countries, my wife has family in Oz, my ex has family in Canada. In fact nearly everyone I know has relatives in either or both countries.

They really are our cousins.

This is part of the problem. The UK has always looked outward. Probably because we are an island race. The day we ditched the commonwealth in favour of the EU was a disgrace.

One thing though. Given the democratic record of the EU, if we do get a referendum and we vote the 'wrong way', will we have to keep having referenda until we give the 'right' result?

Time for a cuppa.
