2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum Choice Votes % Leave the European Union 17,410,742 51.89 Remain a member of the European Union 16,141,241 48.11 Valid votes 33,551,983 99.92 Invalid or blank votes 25,359 0.08 Total votes 33,577,342 100.00 Registered voters/turnout 46,500,001 72.21 Source: Electoral Commission[308] So, using your own logic, of the total electorate of 46.5 million, 17.4 million voted to leave. Under 38%. PH

Again making my point about the 2014 referendum and the goalposts not just being moved on the ptich but to an entirely different arena. THAT is what the thread is about. PH

It did. --- A result that Nigel Farage said would not be decisive. PH

Oh stop with the picking and choosing How many were eligible to vote in the UK? How many voted to leave? what would that be in percentgae terms? NOT a majority of that I am absolutely certain. PH

That many (including me) voted for Scotland to remain part of the UK precisely because leaving the UK would also mean leaving the EU. PH

Utter baloney. Out of all those eligible to vote for Brexit in England did a majority actually vote for it? No, they did not.

Making my point about the 2014 vote for me. Thank you. But being able to apply to rejoin (if they wish) would at least be an option for an independent Scotland. PH

Well I, for one, do not want a revolution. All I wish for is an opportunity for those living in Scotland (which now excludes me) to be able to vote again given the huge change in circumstances since 2014. That will happen, it is just a matter of time. PH

Aiming to start your Independence with unlawful acts is really not a good idea. Argue your case, convince doubters and if you get enugh support then eventually you will win. PH

Technically correct, especially as those in Northern Ireland voted in aggregate to remain so discounting them (as you appear to have done) would have made the result more than 52/48. But then so did those in Scotland. PH

Managed to skip answering the underlying question though...if caught in ignorance then it is often a good idea to try to distract, dissemble and divert the conversation. Well done. PH

The Scots voted quite sensibly maintained the Union; the English, in contrast, voted to destroy the one with Europe. PH

Clearly someone who knows his history. Or not. You might like to (but probably won't) read up on who was fighting who at Culloden. Maybe you are a little confused and intended Stirling, or Falkirk. Who are these Angles, anyhow? Are they perhaps related to the Saxons? Where did they come from...oh! PH

There is some weird thinking going on there! PH

Change the name to Boris, and the referendum to Brexit..... PH

Well a majority (just) of those who voted in 2016 made themselves significantly poorer by voting for a misguided fantasy. PH

I lived in Scotland and campaigned against leaving the UK. The major plank of my argument was that on gaining Independence, Scotland would have to re-apply for membership of the EU and would in n o way have been guaranteed anything tlike the same terms it enjoyed while a member as part of the UK. Many others thought the same. I did not think for one moment that the UK (well, much of Englandshire outside London) would be so monumentally stuid as to vote to leave the EU. With that happening, the situation for an Independent Scotland changes vastly and yes, there should be another vote. It is a sad but true fact that just 2 years after the 2016 vote, and simply because of demographics, enough of the older voters (who were statistically much more likely to have voted to leave) would have died, while enough of the 16 and 17 year olds (who were statistically much more likely to have voted to remain) would have reached voting age to make a remain result almost certain. Such a huge decision should never have been made on such a small margin and I agree wholeheartedly with Nigel Farage who declared (pre-result) that 52-48 would not be decisive and we would need another referendum. But hey, at least the NHS is now enjoying an extra £350m a week, and the oven ready turkeys have regained control of the sunny uplands. PH

So EXACTLY like the UK then? PH

Sounds a little like my last arrival into T5 LHR....but that wouldn't fit the anti-Thai rhetoric of the blinkered entitleds PH

If you load the Wise card with THB, then you have already converted, at whatever rate was when you did this. If you use a foreign CC, then you will get the rate at the time the transaction is made. PH

If they cannot use Lazada delievry, then why are they advetrising on Lazada? Buy from someone else! PH

Most parts of the UK are like this - though many without a beach, and those that do are half covered in excrement. But, of course, for farangs, Thailand is the pits in all respects - except that they choose to stay here. Strange people, farangs. PH

It may not be Wise at fault... I transferred two substantial sums earlier this year to buy a condo...both carefully marked as Purchase of Property...Bangkok Bank (Beach road) declared they were not international so I could not use them as part of my proof of funds from abroad. They could see that they were actually from abroad (they said), but computer said no. After about an hour, eventually they declared they could send paperwork to Head Office for entries to be amended. Why TF they couldn't hae said that at the beginning..... Same bank made a mess of my last yearly printout for immigration (my fault that I neded one as I forgot to update my passbook so had a combined entry). Have moved to Kasikorn PH

Well yes, but no but.... Wise is not part of the FSCS (not being a Regulated Bank, it cannot be, but then it does not lend out your money to third parties, which is why the FSCS was set up), but "safeguards" your money - it is held separately from their own assets and is therefore safe. Unless some massive fraud takes place. But then FSCS only covers the first £80K so the same could be said of banks, depending on how subsatntial your deposits.

You says pdfs....can you clarify please..I am thinking of switching form 800K to monthly deposits after next renewal (due February) so want to have my ducks in a row in advance. PH
