Something tells me that you are going to be very disappointed when the SNP doesn't delivered on their lies.

Why is this so hard to comprehend? Cameron did not need to ask the permission of Brussels to hold a referendum, but Sturgeon needs TM to approve? I would much prefer the former than have to endure any more of the latter. Sadly for all those who grin at the prospect of an independent Scotland languishing in a similar sort of international isolation that England is facing, our future is looking much rosier:

 

Scotland could remain in EU after Brexit says report, as May prepares to trigger Article 50

 

"The European Parliament committee-commissioned report pointed out that Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man had separate arrangements with the EU. The territories, which are British dependencies, are not in the EU, but have access to the Customs Union.

However, the research commissioned by the committee suggested this meant there was scope for Scotland and Northern Ireland to remain in the EU ahead of an independence referendum in the two countries."

 But that's not going to happen is it?  And why would it happen?  Scotland just voted to remain part of the UK, and the UK voted to leave the EU.

We both know that Scotland will not be leaving the UK any time soon.  Or maybe ever.

It's a good idea to try and understand that the vast majority of Scots vote for left of centre parties, and simply despise the prevailing little Englander mentality and political agenda, dominated by the home counties. I am not anti English BTW,  my father was part English, but I recognise that underlying petit borgeoise, petit fascist, zenophobic, thread running through your gutter press. I am saddened that so many of you were taken in by it. The idea that every vote is a "Once in a lifetime" vote that can never be revisited even if circumstances change radically, is anti democratic, and an idiotic way to proceed. This applies to both Brexit, and Scottish Independence.

None of your opinions or insults make a jot of difference.  Brexit is happening and Scottish Independence isn't.  The correct decisions were made.

The hypocrisy of the average Brexiter is well known (a' la "We want our sovereignty back from Brussels but you Scots will do as you are told.") but this takes the biscuit. Project Fear, that you Brexiters constantly harp on about (and where is the 350 million for the NHS? More UKIP / Brexit lies to fool the aged numpties with) was perfected by the Yoons in their desire to keep the English empire intact. Thankfully, the writing is on the wall - you have elected for isolation - meanwhile, the rest of us will keep building something positive.

And the hypocrisy of the SNP saying that they want to be independent by being ruled by the EU is something else!! :)

And you want to talk about isolation, how about if Scotland wasn't part of the UK and had to wait 10 years to be an EU member?  Who and how do you trade for those 10 years?  You don't even have and currency.  About 80% of your exports is to the rest of the UK.

Hilarious that you complain about UKIP, but how are the SNP any different??

This from a leading Brexiter Bill Cash.

 

If David Cameron wins the European referendum he will declare it has settled Britain’s destiny.

Bill Cash says it will do nothing of the sort. Bill Cash believes that even if the Leave side lost, the struggle would continue. 

 

Nigel Farage said back in May 2016 that 52-48 win for the Remain side in the EU referendum would be “unfinished business”.

 

 

Well, the result was 52% in his favour, so that would be "finished business" as far as Nigel Farage is concerned, wouldn't it?

I agree. The saddest aspect of Brexit is the effect it will have on the future ambitions and life chances of the younger generation. It wasn't by chance that the vast majority of young people voted Remain. If Cameron had had the guts to reduce the voting age to 16, the outcome might have been very different. That man has a lot to answer for!

Woulda shoulda coulda.

In the end the correct decision was made on the Scottish Independence and Brexit, and no amount of "what ifs" is going to change anything.

Fortunately Scotland has the chance to leave the sad Little Englanders to go on fantasising about the glories of the Empire and imagining the UK is still a big player on the world stage. Meanwhile the older voters responsible for Brexit, Trump, and other right wing successes have betrayed their children's generation who can't work in Europe, can't buy a house, and are paying for the "Boomers" mainly largely inflated pensions. For those of you whose brains are small enough to think that not listening to experts ( as Michael Gove advised) is clever, I recommend the Daily Mail, the Daily Express, and the Sun, you can get your idiotic prejudices confirmed there. 

 

You might have missed it, but Scotland had a "once in a lifetime" vote on Independence a few years ago.  Despite totally loading the hand in favour of the SNP, the Scots voted to remain a part of the UK.

Lucky for you really seeing as your biggest commodity (which the UK owns) dropped to $20 a barrel soon after.

Dodged a bullet there, didn't you?

I can't understand all these pro brexit postars. Do they live in Thailand or the UK?. For those of us who live here, the only concern is our pensions and UK investments. And I would think most of them would have wanted the UK to remain as part of the EU, rather than see the Pound go down. We don't care about immigration, getting your borders back and all the other rants about how good brexit is. Our home is in Thailand and unless we are working here we have no intention of going back to the UK. We don't continually criticise and rant against brexit ,like you rant against remainers. we accept the fact that the majority want  brexit. So why all these boring posts?

I moved back to the UK 18 months ago with my wife and kids so I voted for Brexit because I want what is best for the country.

I totally understand the selfish nature that you are talking about though, how some people think it's perfectly fine to throw your own country and people under the bus so you can get a little bit more pension for a little while.

I voted for my country and the future of my children, and I was more than happy to accept any short term costs and problems.  But of course, the doomsday and punishments they promised would start the day after the vote was just a pack of lies to blackmail the UK into staying part of the EU for their own selfish needs and agenda.

Thankfully, the correct decision was made in the end.  I'm so sorry that you will have to cut down on the bar fines because the exchange rate is currently 10% lower than it was pre-Brexit, in the bigger picture I really don't care though.

My mindful reasons were posted long ago and you know it. It's your turn to argue properly. Stop dodging.

 

By the ridiculous number of self-opinionated posts that you slap on here, it is obvious what kind of life you live. 

 

I almost feel sorry for you, Grouse. 

Hard to feel sorry for him.  He seems to be the epitome of "stupid people are too stupid to realise that they are stupid", but his stupidity and arrogance makes him believe that he is superior and better than everyone else.

If you want proof of this, just look at how wrong he has been about Brexit for the last year.  Not one thing he said or predicted has been correct or come true.  His opinions are based on nothing more than feelings.  None of this has made him step back and realise that even with a 100% track record of being wrong that maybe he should reconsider his views.

This is something we are seeing with most remainers.  It's more important to them to believe in their wrong opinion than what is really happening with Brexit and the EU.

But not to worry because their arrogance and conceit cost them the vote.   Brexit is happening in spite of all the dirty underhanded tricks to try and derail it.  Wednesday is going to be a beautiful day and I'm looking forwarded to reading all of the triggered comments from these crybabies.

Well I disagree. Would they have been better under dictatorships? No, of course not. Are there problems with The Euro? Yes.

 

I think the EU will become more flexible but will certainly survive.

 

The EU will be better without England as many don't even understand the benefits. England should keep close to Trump's USA. Much more suitable bed fellows ?

You can be as condescending and as arrogant as you've been for the last year, but you've been wrong the whole time about everything.  You were so sure that we wouldn't vote for Brexit and then we did, then you were so sure that the UK would be in turmoil after the vote but you were wrong, now you are saying that the EU is fine and that they would be better off without the UK but you are also wrong.  Your entire argument is based on nothing but an arrogant year long tantrum because you didn't get the result you wanted.

Nothing you say matters or is true though.  Can't wait for your epic tantrum on Wednesday once we finally Brexit.  Hahahahaha

If there was a second referendum, majority will definitely vote to stay, but who cares Brits deserve to suffer for their horrible treatment to other nations they colonized.

You base that on what exactly?  It seems like most people voted to remain because they were scared into it by the government and big business's propaganda that they would be punished and world war 3 would erupt the day after the vote.  Seeing as none of that happened, the UK has been thriving since the vote and the future is the total opposite of what Project Fear threatened everyone with, I would say that more people would vote to leave than last year.

The EU dictators' repugnant attitude and behaviour since we dared to vote to leave has also made the remainers see what the EU mafia is really about so if we ran the vote again it wouldn't be as close as it was before.

Thankfully he survived this terrible accident at 11 years old.

Now he will be able to die a natural death in Thailand at 14 of either getting killed by a drunk hit and run driver, murdered in a silly argument by a classmate or drowning in a klong.

This is one of those stories where if it had happened in your home country nobody would believe it, but as it's in Thailand everyone is just like "yeah, sounds about right".

My wife's auntie decided to store poison in water bottles next to her usual water supply in a shed.  Didn't change the labels or use different shelves or anything to differentiate what was bottles of poison and what was the water.  Didn't take long before one dark night she accidentally drank one of the bottles of poison and nearly died.

If I told this story to anyone in the UK they would never believe me that any grown up could possibly be this stupid and irresponsible with their life but I bet that everyone on Thaivisa knows it's true.

either way this referendum has been a croc - it has shown how stupid many people in the UK can be, it has divided the nation - and that won't stop tomorrow.......the most galling thing is that we didn't ask for a referendum, we were TOLD we were going to have one - it is not a normal governmental process in the UK and it challenges the sovereignty of parliament....in fact it isn't eve legally binding.

Jeez, where to start with this load of nonsense?

Just go and fact check your post yourself, I can't even be bothered to put you right.

The EU has many problems but for 70 years Europeans have not slaughtered each other.

We can thank EU for that.

Or we can risk another Somme, Paschendale, Flanders, Normandy, Auschwitz, and Berlin. The refugees are small beer by comparison to those horrors..

I think you are getting confused with what the EU and NATO are and what they can be credited with.

Returned to Thailand 20 June via Don Muang airport - this form not seen.

First sentence: "Expats and foreigners in Pattaya are now being asked to complete the form, when they go to complete their 90 day report or extend their visas."

I remember all the threads last year on this and everyone was carrying on she wouldnt get anything

Oh yes, she got a 2 year sentence for drunk driving and causing an accident but nothing for killing each of the cyclists. Do you think that this is fair and just?

Missed this story before. Why was she only charged with negligent driving, causing damage and drunk driving and not, you know, killing 3 people?

Killing three people? You mean premeditated murder? Its more like manslaughter, or impaired driving causing death. However, the penalties may be different in different countries. Thailand, for example, seems to place excessive leniency on admitting the offensenote her penalty was halved for admitting ithowever, that is similar to many Western countries where a plea of guilty or not guilty connotes sentencing differences too.

For example, MADD Canada suggests for a first offense, low alcohol measure, drunk driving causing death would be 3-4 years, plus mandatory alcohol treatment http://www.madd.ca/media/docs/MADD_Canada_Sentencing_Framework_FINAL.pdf

Of course, sentencing differences apply by country law, but MADD is generally harsh, but realistic.

You missed my point. I used the broad term "killing 3 people" to cover anything that help her responsible for the cyclist's deaths, whatever the charge could be. But if you look at what she was convicted of none of them have anything to do with killing anyone in any way, she is basically being jailed for causing a car crash while drunk.

So again, why was she not charged/convicted of killing the 3 people?

It cannot be that she paid blood money to all the families because she only settled with 2 out of the 3.

Poor boys, their lives are gone and they will never see the light of day again. All for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and in the wrong country to expect to get away with being setup for a double murder and rape that you couldn't have committed.

What else am I missing; she paid compensation to 2 of the 3 victim's families, so if she didn't settle with the 3rd victim's fskily then why wasn't she tried for their death??

O.k so we have plenty of our own criminals,do we really need more.

I thought we exported most of ours to Spain?

More like Pattaya, so if we are lucky enough to leave the EU it will make no difference in all the criminals that emigrate to Thailand.

"Police are reviewing CCTV footage before launching a manhunt"

And we all know how good Phuket police are at "manhunts" don't we.

...no doubt there will be a 'crackdown'... lol

Farangs will be banned from taking afternoon naps. Anybody taking a siesta, especially if they are wearing a bikini, is asking for trouble.

All you truckers out their..wave good-bye to continental work as Britain's trade with Europe slides away. bye-bye Eddie Stobbart

All you car workers - the only reason that Japanese manufacturers have plants in UK is so they have a foothold in the EU to avoid the restrictions on imports of vehicles from outside the EU. just like Thailand where thanks to the current admin investment is down by 81%, so the Uk will suffer the same as manu multi-nationals lose interest in investing in a country that doesn't have the benefits of being inside the EU.

...and while you're at it say good-bye to London as one of the top financial centres in the world - that accolade will finally go to Germany

I wonder why Remainers only have negative reasons to scare people into doing what they want? Why are we not being given a huge list of reasons of all the good things that will happen if we use our vote to remain. It's all speculative "Fear, fear, fear, the sky will collapse on the 24th June 2016 if you don't do what I want."

Screw the fear campaign and everyone who is trying to terrorise us into doing their bidding. Vote Leave and be proud that we didn't cave into fear because of some self serving liars.
