Probably don't need to bother.

The way Brexit is panning out, if we do actually leave the EU, Scotland will probably go for independence & Northern Ireland will more than likely choose to join the rest of Ireland. At which point Wales may well decide to go too & London could do a "Singapore".

Freedom for Tooting!
Where's Woolfie Smith when you need him?

Sorry, I won't be signing.

Northern Ireland joining the Republic? Can someone on TV live put that to the DUP! If you were to put that to them without live filming I reckon you'll get more than robust reply.

In fact I believe sinn feinn are agitating for a referendum which is a possibility under GFA iirc. Unionists would likely stay strong and resist. So I doubt SF will request one because it would likely lose even with Brexit help.

So who thinks English indyref is racist?

There is no appetite in Wales for going it alone. Plaid don't talk about it much because they know it turns prospective voters off.

The village of Cuckfield*, in Sussex, is already a self-proclaimed independent state - and has been so for many years. Leading the way....

Before I read the asterisk bit I read it as Cookfield. How else are you to say it?

That's worrying me now. I think like a Sussexer.

Most Sottish people I know have no appetite for it either and can't stand Nicola Starlin ( sorry Surgeon)

I can't see it getting over 6million(and still counting)signatures like the A50 petition,which is being ignored by parliament.
Sooo it ain't going to happen,
Scotland may leave the UK and who can blame them?
NI don't want another war.
Wales won't leave,so it could be a partial split.

Tories,doncha just luv 'em

Great film. Pimlico had the good fortune to become French.

Hey, we've got that on DVD: it'd make a nice change from Brexit.

After the Brexit result l heard a Scottish commentator (on radio or TV) opine that part of the reason the SNP were so aggrieved was that they saw the English and Welsh had 'taken their chance' but they had been unable to get their own populace to 'take their chance' two years earlier.

Of course if Scottish independence had been equally catastrophically managed perhaps some are now quietly relieved.

Y Gelli/Hay-on-Wye has of course been independent for many years

I fancy that if there were to be a referendum in which only the residents of England could take part with a yes/no question on the lines of "Should England gain independence? " then I'd anticipate a majority for yes, especially if the social media types got cracking on the money that would be saved.
