Holidaying Soon?

[maggiebee]

This was posted tonight by a friend.

It's beginning already! We're in Greece, no cash exchange & no cash machine withdrawals for Brits. Great.

Also read: Those holidaying to the US have already seen a 10% crash against the dollar to just $1.33 – the lowest in 30 years.

Stay at home year??

OG...we were put into the ERM by another Tory pillock...John Major if I recall correctly !

I bow to ummmm you know everybody I forgot!

[jim360]

It's in the interests I suppose of Remainers to play up the negatives of yesterday and the coming weeks/ months -- and in the interests of Brexiters to completely ignore them.

[ummmm]

Bernie - I just know that she's not Retrochic so didn't want people thinking she was.

have you got another punnet of sour grapes maggie?

[Tilly2]

Perhaps we could all try to be positive. What's done is done and we need to make the most of it. Negativity is draining.

i'm at a complete loss why those on AB who have identified as both scottish and remain should be so bitter. the change in circumstance afforded by yesterday's vote means you'll now get your dearest wish, a second independence vote, the result of which is almost certain to be "leave". happy days, surely?

On another thread, I posted:-

IF Scotland = Net contributor to UK
AND the EU milks the UK
AND Scotland's EU grants [less than]= to Scottish oil revenue
THEN Scotland's EU grants are their own money coming back.

It will end up being a net contributor to the EU, if it joined, not a beneficiary. Why ARE they such keen Remainers?

[Khandro]

Hypo: Further to that, they can only have another referendum if Parliament allows them to, and if it did, and (indulging in this fantasy) they won, the present 59 Scottish MPs will lose their seats and all influence in the UK Parliament.
So they will have their own little assembly, but effectively the overall control of Scotland will come from Brussels, a control which they will be incapable of changing - which is the reason the UK is leaving, and the mass immigration the UK is hoping to now control, will still be able to go to Scotland.

@Khandro

Immigrants only go to wherever the work is. To date, how many of them have moseyed on up to Scotland?

Any explanation given?

There's a certain delicious irony in people who have spent the last few months moaning about how important it is to them to have control over their country now busy telling Scottish people that they have no right to that same control.

[murraymints]

Jim..we voted already on this matter..we DON'T want separation

[Khandro]

jim; there's no comparison and you know it.
