Well if you want the blunt truth, that we will probably end up having to subsidise it, indefinitely.

 

Anyway, another thread discussing the UK and the EU hijacked by he Scottish Nationalists...

And off course Queen Nicola will be giving Shetland's and Orkney a referendum on leaving Scotland (and taking the oil with them), I mean how can she refuse such a request? As for an independent Scotland joining the EU - How exactly will that happen when they are so far away from meeting the joining criteria?

I love Brexit. It keeps giving:

 

Baker & McKenzie estimates that COVID-19 and no-deal Brexit could cost the UK $174 billion a year (https://www.bakermckenzie.com/en/insight/publications/2020/10/the-future-of-uk-trade)

 

Meanwhile Japanese media report that Toyota and Nissan will seek reimbursement from UK if Brexit talks fail (https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Toyota-and-Nissan-demand-UK-cover-tariffs-if-no-EU-deal-reached)

But Brexiteers come to realize that a deal will only be possible with the EU keeping a “firm grip on important areas of UK economic policy and law making powers” (https://conservatives.global/n-i-protocol-will-wreck-brexit-and-undermine-uk-independence/) 

 

I should be more grateful to all those fools who have voted for this circus. Such great entertainment. Thanks 52ers!
