Brexit to the right 1 7, 11:48pm

@Karen Yep, westminister also broke prudah rules in scotlands referendum, meaning they actually broke electorial (which is under criminal) law, they made so many claims and promises the biggest of these the one that played the biggest part was their claim that the only way scotland could remain in the EU is if it voted "no", that claim is now shot to hell, and even in the most biased anti-independence/pro-unionist papers with the most anti-independence/pro-unionist readership have polled scotish independance now at 53%, the rest it's as high as 69% for independence. There is also the fact that upto this point the only group that hadn't stopped campagining since 2014 was bettertogeather, they have nothing left, the £? that's down 12%, the euro is now outpreforming the pound sterling on the markets, at it's current rate it could very well be £1 = €1, so their EU argument is shot to hell, their currency argument is shot to hell and the joke in scotland (where I am) regarding currency is now "anything but the £", the oil is ours and 100% of usd$50/barrel is still a vastly larger amount more then 8% of $100/barrel, it would have to fall to less then usd$9/barrel before we actually see a fall in "our share" of our oil revenue, not to mention "the oil running out" was their 3rd big argument, funny how they keep finding massive oil sites almost immediately after the vote, the 4th big argument they put forth was what the majority actually wanted and that was full devolution or devo-max whatever you want to call it, bit promises that the so called smith commission didn't even come close to delivering 1/3rd of and then that was even shot down eventually to the nonsense they then put forward in a bid to try to use it as a trap against the scotish government.. the 5th big lie was building all those royal navy ships, yeah they've just cancelled the last of a list they already cancelled in that one type-26 frigate or at the very very best it's been put on hold and filed away under revisit possibly never. Frankly, scotland voted resolutely to remain in the EU. This person where-ever they're from (it dosn't even matter, could be from scotland, and if so sounds like an orangeman) dosn't seem to understand just exactly what it is the UK has gotten itself into it's very possibly there may be no UK for the EU to negotiate with before long.
