You complained a few weeks ago about delays at Border Control in the UK, criticising lack of staffing. I explained to you the facts, which you did not accept If you were not there are you saying your complaint was based on heresay?
The UK should have closed its borders totally, I am prepared to accept wrong decisions were made, whereas you are not prepared to accept that some elements were dealt with well. You are obviously a troll so no point in discussing with you, PP

You keep on about rejoining. I don't think rejoining is a problem for any brexitters; but the issue would be the terms. Surely you understand that it wasn't being IN the eu which was the problem. It was the treatment given to the UK from the eu. You say we are top 5 but we wernt given any preferential treatment. You need to ask why that was if we were so influential. I don't know isn't an answer that will cut it wissie tbh.

Until the question gets asked none of us know do we? They have found "creative" ways around the rules in the past and I think Scotland would certainly be welcomed, for a whole host of reasons.

Scotland's economy could well blossom as a member of the EU and not the UK. It would present an interesting opportunity to many investors. Much like Ireland but without a sea crossing to navigate to deliver to us. There's plenty of room and in the borders even the weather isn't too bad!

Of course, but as all we are discussing is a presupposition that applies to every claim made. I am just giving my take on what might happen and not forecasting what will.

I think a European only military alliance to replace NATO is a good idea. Europe disgracefully hides behind the US when it should be paying for its own defences but who is actually going to attack it?

Russia has the GDP of Spain. Since the end of the Cold War NATO has expanded right up to its borders, despite promising it would not do so.

Russia represents ZERO threat to Europe in terms of any kind of conventional military conflict.

I would have zero problem with the UK being part of this European alliance but lets not pretend that Russian tanks are somehow going to be pouring over the borders and making for Berlin.
