They lack the importance to stuff up the entire world's economy. They might have created one of the critical preconditions for a fascist resurgence, though. Time will tell.

Interesting posts from Tannin and Mugwump! Been a fascinating 24 hours seeing how this has unravelled for Britain.

I'm hearing now that there's a real possibility that a Scottish independence referendum will take place in the near future again especially since the majority of Scotland supported staying in the EU.

Scotland has been dragged out of the EU against its will.
62% of Scots voted to remain, swamping the Brexit numbers of only 38%. In Scotland's capital Edinburgh, the vote was an amazing 74% to remain - an absolute landslide!
I recall posting during the 2014 Referendum that Scotland suffers a democracy deficit. What the people vote for is swamped and overturned by numbers in England.
Remember their is a Tory Government in Westminster now, with only ONE seat out of 59 in Scotland voting being Tory.
And now this Brexit, that a vast majority of Scots do not want.
There is absolutely no point remaining in the U.K.
The next Scottish Independence referendum will see to that. Given what happened yesterday, that Referendum will come.

It is worth recalling one popular view about the greatness of Britannia just before it joined the European Union.

Yes, that is another serious downside of the debacle. I was strongly against Scottish independence at the referendum in 2014, because i did not believe it was in the Scots' interest or that of the rest of the Uk - but frankly, if I were Scottish, i'd now be supportive. This really does detach the pieces of a settlement that worked passably well, and toss them up in the air.

A whole lot of retarded British are today learning that they shouldn't believe what they read.

Scotland can become independent all they like, but they wont get into the EU. Spain will veto them.
