the stinking enigma Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Gove still managed to insert 2 references to anti semitism even in his victory speech. He must be getting paid per mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagar the horrible Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 So, Boris goes to Lizzie and asks if he can form a government, Lizzie replies with a raised eyebrow, "will no one rid me of this turbulent Sturgeon?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Logical thing as far as I can see would be for NI to unite with the Republic (they pretty much voted that way), Scotland to go it alone - they can apply to join the EU if they want afterwards - leaving the UK reduced down to the civil partnership between England and Wales, with a perpetual Tory government. I can't understand why Boris wouldn't go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagar the horrible Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 What are the chances that the UK government refuse to invest further in Scotland just in case they leave the union, is there a legal obligation on the UK gov to continue spending on Scotland?

Gladys Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Simple lesson - don't go to the nation with a referendum on the EU, then conspire to frustrate that decision. I am undecided on Brexit, and whether the Conservatives or Labour are the best for the UK, but look what happens when you ask someone for their opinion then ignore it. Very simple.
