    The only way to go back would be a Premier League Soccer strike...there would be a revolution!

    Yeah I've been seeing the same thing. Looks like other EU countries have large groups feeling the same way.

    Ireland is independent from the UK. Your Scotland statement is most likely true.

    If Trump gets elected, can the north secede from the south?

    How about every state that votes for Trump can secede from the rest of us. The disconnected states can be held together with lots of hair spray and a blow dryer much like the Donald's wild badger-like hair-helmet.

    That's the funny thing about England. They're both on the same damn island. I remember watching Braveheart when I was younger and not realizing that it was basically like Oregon and Washington hating each other, and Washington ruling over Oregon with the only thing between them being some river. It's a little absurd.

    The republic survived Obama and Carter. It will survive Trump. Worst case is he'd be gone in 4 years. If not, he'd have done a good enough job to get reelected.

    I was being mostly facetious. I would definitely call myself the opposite of a Trump supporter, but the country would survive. Right now, I'm pretty disillusioned with both sides of the political aisle in this country. I suppose sarcasm is my only outlet.

    Korea or Iran?

    Diplomacy has worked great in both cases.

    Herein lies the irony. They are bound on leaving the EU because the rest of the U.K. chose the best path for them, "for the greater good". Scotland had no autonomy.

    Pretty much the reason the U.K. voted on Brexit to begin with, to free themselves from the chains of others (the rest of the EU) determining their path.


    People will say that Trump was incorrect that Scotland voted to LEAVE the EU. But they are leaving the EU as members of the U.K.

    So that means we should nuke them? All North Korea has nuked is themselves. Iran hasn't tested a bomb. Israel denies even having nukes.

    Scotland as part of the EU! Let see, what do the Scots make;
    CQR anchors - pretty good Will sell to sailors EU or not
    Whiskey - pretty good Will sell every where, EU or not
    Beer - Damn good But never leaves the Island anyway
    Golf - Pretty good But you have to go there EU or not.
    Ship - Once the world best from the river Clyde. Last century.
    ? - Why would they go to the EU on there own?
