Scotland pushing on a referendum
Polls showing 51 % of Northern Ireland citizens want a united Ireland
More and more unrest at Downing Street
wales mumbling a bit louder about it too
Bit of a fuck up for Boris
It is not a surprise to me that support for a United Ireland would be increasing. But I don't think figure I've seen this 51% want a United Ireland figure. Got a link?
BBC news Gavin
The young N Irish generation want to stay in the EU
Can't say I blame them.
Polls are only a snap shot. 51% of 10% isn't 51% of 100%
Whilst I think it would be a shame to break up the union, any vote on referendums of scottish independence should include Scots who don't li e in Scotland, but reside in the UK.
I am of Scots, Irish and English decent, but I won't be afforded a vote.
I'm just having a look at the stats...
From the Scot.gov website:
In 17/18
Scotland's revenue was £60bn
Scotland expenditure was £73bn
A cool 13bn hole each year. I wonder who helps to plug that
Times are changing
Trouble is, the Scots don't like Sturgeon.
This is based on my Scottish family
lot of them voted for her tone
Things are starting to get a bit unsettled here in Belfast
No fucking suprise there

Sorry, meant they've grown tired of her, not a dislike in the beginning
same with drakeford here, he is a shitload better than letting johnson fuck us up but some of his decisions are a bit weird
Its for Scotland and NI to decide what they want to do. I am a unionist, so hope it all stays together, we will all be poorer if it breaks apart. The only winners will be politicians, civil servants and lawyers. All of them leech money. If the EU starts to fall apart, will it be worth it.
That is the question Neil.Will the EU fall apart?
They way they threw Ireland under a bus last week and their treatment of Greece and Italy is nothing short of disgraceful.
Apparently some knob from Wales thinks there's a chance of independence as Scotland nearly did it. I know it's true as I saw it live on the Andy Marr show this morning. From my understanding North Welsh and South Welsh can't stand each other, could be interesting to see how this works out.
Not mentioning Cardiff or Swansea obviously.
Problem is, all the money is in Swansea and Cardiff.
Interestingly, Wales' net deficit is also ~13bn a year (2019)
Tax revenue is 27bn
Spending is 40bn.
So England is proping up both countries by 13bn each...
I wouldn't rely on stats like that. The focus of the UK has been on the South for so long that it has entrenched such inequalities. This is precisely why regions could be better off on their own.
The South of England has bled the regions dry and then produces stats like that to show us why we should be grateful!
They can keep their shitty rugby team too.
