Yourself and all the other small-minded will be guaranteed a job manning the barricaded border.
And we will need a border no doubt. Need to keep the Brexiteers out.
Decent English people can visit, live and indeed work in Scotland though.

If you read the report, you will see that the reason why the U.K is falling behind in vaccinations is because some people refuse to get vaccinated .
33 % of 18-30 years old choose not to get vaccinated .
The reason why the U.K is falling behind some other Countries in vaccination rates is because of peoples choice and its nothing to do with Brexit
I never claimed it was.
However Brexiteers like to claim that the success of the vaccine rollout was because of Brexit. Which is plainly not the case.

Don't hold your breath. Most Scots still want to stay in the UK, just as they voted to in 2014. A minority of nationalist extremists doesn't change that fact.
So nothing to worry about holding another referendum then.

13 minutes ago, Mr Meeseeks said:Power projection (or force projection or strength projection) is a term used in military and political science to refer to the capacity of a state to deploy and sustain forces outside its territory. This ability is a crucial element of a state's power in international relations.
The fact that it was Americans flying off the carrier which was being escorted by US ships and submarines no doubt looks impressive to the Chinese?
There was even a Dutch ship escorting the carrier because the Royal Navy did not have enough assets to do it on its own.

nobody “voted to leave” the british empire.
not bothered to educate yourselves on Great British achievements then...
empire nations were offered independence (which other countries do that ? right, NONE) which was usually (but not always) accepted because people prefer to rule themselves incompetently & corruptly with great poverty & injustice & genocide (Africa prime example) than be governed fairly & properously by foreigners..... irrational collective human insanity strikes again......
tiny childish Brit Haters can always surrender their UK Passport, LEAVE Permanently & take EU Nationality / Residency ...... right, thought not.....
Right so how many have asked to come back then?

Just now, Mac Mickmanus said:The USAF were there on a training exercise , we didnt borrow their aeroplanes .
Our new Aircraft carrier will not be fully functional for a few years yet
So we showed the Chinese that we still rule the waves by sailing an empty carrier through the south China sea?
Training exercise is just another way of saying borrowed. You think those pilots need training on how to take off and land on a carrier?

no apologies from Britain whose massive positive modern achievements and benign worldwide influence DWARF successes of any other region.
So why did all those countries vote to leave the empire?

Its a new ship and will not be fully functional for a few years yet , we have our 47 of own aircraft , and are awaiting getting the full capacity , which really isn't "having to borrow American aircraft .
The Americans were doing a training exercise
from your link
Meanwhile, the ministry also has been slow to buy F-35s. “From 2015, its intention has been to buy 138 Lightning II jets, which will sustain carrier strike operations to the 2060s. The [ministry] initially ordered 48 jets but has not yet committed to buying any more. In response to wider financial pressures, it will also receive seven of the 48 jets in 2025, a year later than planned.”
No, we have ordered them. We currently have 17.

Incorrect .
The U.S aircraft used the U.K Aircraft carrier for training purposes so that.............."This week a squadron of Marine F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters wrapped up nearly two months of training aboard the U.K. Royal Navy HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08), paving the way for U.S. and U.K. fighters to operate interchangeably when the British aircraft carrier leaves on its first deployment."

3 minutes ago, JonnyF said:lol. Championing the EU's vaccine rollout because 6 out of 27 countries finally got it together, claiming Britain will be told to sit in the corner during ASEAN talks, trying to claim covid related issues are due to Brexit. And that's just on this short thread.
Self flagellation is an unpleasant trait of certain Brits who hate their own kind. You're free to go and live in an EU country if you love it so much. Your countrymen want to stay as part of the UK. Bon voyage. Ciao ????.
No I was simply correcting your claim that the EU's vaccination program was somehow rubbish.
You honestly believe that the UK will be more important to ASEAN than the EU? Seriously?
Driver shortage is related to Brexit. Ask your mate Mac Mickmanus for details.
When Scotland does go independent then I will be returning to an EU country.

1 minute ago, Mac Mickmanus said:The reason for that is that over the years Supermarkets have been using cheap labour for haulage drivers , their terms (wages) got so bad that many drivers gave up and moved into other jobs and the haulage driving was taken over by cheaper E.U workers .
Now Supermarkets will have to pay a decent /living wage to haulage drivers .
Paying U.K workers a decent wage instead of using cheap E.U labour was one of the ideals of Brexit
So the price of goods in the shops will go up in order to pay those extra wages to UK natives. Odd you all failed to mention or address that in your Brexit campaign.

Still - keep on hating Britain ????. How's indyref2 coming along? Oh that's right, it isn't...
Who hates Britain? Just because someone thinks Brexit is stupid does not mean they hate the UK.

This is a private discussion between ASEAN and the U.K .
Now that the E.U shackles are off , the U.K is out in the World making new friends , along with showing the Chinese our new aircraft carriers and letting them know who still rules the waves
We were already talking to ASEAN while we were in the EU.
What we are doing now is trying to repair the damage caused by leaving.
As for the aircraft carrier. You understand we had to borrow the aircraft on it from the USA right?
Ruling the waves? Waives the rules more like.

I never really had a problem with this guy. He was essentially doing the job he was supposed to be doing.
However he was becoming an inconvenience to other high ranking people which culminated in him arresting someone's girlfriend as I recall.
His downfall followed rapidly after that.

I was a teacher; NI + Superannuation were stopped at source monthly. I even had many monthsworth of NI stamps from four years work during my student holidays.
It will be of little consolation but I and I think almost everyone else on here thinks it is absolutely disgraceful the way British pensioners are treated here in Thailand by the UK government.

Only if we had joined the EU's vaccine program. Something which was unlikely.
