Isn't that what Democracy is? Voting for what you want. 

  Yes, but democracy isnt about keep voting UNTILL you get what you want .

  May as well have a vote once a month until you get the result you want ?

Boris Johnson will not ask for extension to Brexit transition period

 

But then again, we all know how he is a man of his word: not!

   He had no other choice

The majority of Scots voted for independence in 2014. The majority of Scots and Scottish residents support independence now. 

   Why wasnt Scotland granted independence if the majority voted for it ?

Living in Nong Khai means I'm a bigot?

Good grief thats stretched logic even for an Englishman. ????

  A Scotsman living in Thailand disagreeing with the majority of Scots living in Scotland  who voted to remain in the Union .

  When was the last time that you lived in Scotland and why did you leave and do  you ever get homesick  ?

Yeah but you're English and we Scots all hate you. You need to understand, and yes I appreciate you arrived late and have not read the rest of the thread, that us Scots are all racist's and bigots.

We hate you English. 

   We know that you do, English dont hate the Scots though

The Scottish government has already said they could have a referendum on leaving.

But thats not what the Shetland Isles want. They want more autonomy. Which was backed by the, wait for it, SNP councilors in the Shetland Isles. 

I have to say I actually agree with them. They are better placed to decide what is good for their islands than anyone else.

    They should be given a referendum every few years , to see whether they want be be with Scotland or the UK , well , regular referendums until they finally vote to stay with the UK

How did she get pass the guard doing the fever test at Central Festival. 

 

All these 'measures' don't seem to be effective if it is not done properly.

  The heat checks are usually done at the mall entrance , right under the aircon unit , I wonder whether that would effect the result ?

The dead in the ditch comment came from a promise B.Johnson made.

Johnson was asked if he would promise not to ask for extension.

Johnson reply , yes. I would rather be dead in a ditch.

   That isnt a promise to be dead in a ditch

So you are claiming the statement "Once in a generation" is legally binding? Yes or no?

If its a yes does the statement "Dead in a ditch" also become legally binding?

   The former was an agreement , the latter was a figure of speech and wasnt meant to be taken literally ( He also didnt say he would be "dead in a ditch" , the first bit of the sentance was "I'd rather be dead in a ditch than blah blah blah................"

You think that Scots are ethnically closer to Europeans than our cousins south of the border?

Absolute tosh. 

  We are talking about race , I am just pointing out flaws in your claim that Scots cannot be racist because they choose to stay with a whole continent thats the same race as they are .

  You would have more of a claim if you stated that Scotland choose to leave the EU and to be affiliated with Countries who are from another race to them .

   BTW , I am not making the claim that Scots are racist , just pointing out your logic is flawed

I was also talking about the Scots who you accused of being racists and bigots.

Yet Scotland voted to remain in the EU.

How does that square with your belief that Scotland is full of racists and bigots? Surely such people would have voted FOR Brexit.

  Scottish people are typically the same race as Europeans (apart from the ethnic minorities) , so the Brexit vote doesnt show or prove anything

Getting de javu here ????

How many times has this been threatened only for the Brexiteers to blink first. 

  Neither side seems to have backed down, thats why we are in the current situation .

  The article isnt a threat , its a report on the potential outcome of the negotiations

They were rules that the UK helped formulate and willingly signed on to.

  I do believe that accepting those rules were a  requirement to join the E.U . 

  No opt out option was given . 

Not currently on lock-down , but if theres a few more cases of Covid , theres a high possibility that we could  get immediate lock-down with no notice

 But that's not what you said. You said "The E.U telling the UK who is and who isnt allowed to enter the UK." Which is not the case.

 

 

  I did mean in regards to other European citizens , rather than non European citizens , I should have made that clearer

 So when my wife and step daughter applied for their visas to live in the UK with me they applied to the EU?

 

Strange, I distinctly remember their applications from initial visas up to and including naturalisation being decided by the UK Home Office!

 

Historically the largest number of immigrants to the UK come from non EU/EEA countries and still do. Their applications and decisions on same  are dealt with by the UK's immigration rules which, like the equivalent rules of every member state, are nothing to do with the EU.

  Being a member of the E.U. gave every European citizen the right to live and work in the UK , they were E.U rules, not the UKs rules
