it is only good news if they all leave the EU. If they dont, it is good for the globalists.

If they are just leaving to go to the EU then yeah this is a win for globalism

EU is like the definition of WEF/globalism

This also makes what's left of England much more conservative

Scotland and Northern Ireland are the super leftist countries in the UK

All 3 are considered net drains on the UK.

Northern Ireland costs nearly $10,000 per person with regards to revenue per head vs public expenditure. Scotland and Wales are both $6,000+


Maybe I'll get more for my money if they leave

Just returned from 14 days in Northern Ireland and Ireland. They still hate each other, but none of them can explain why they do. The northern Irish like being ruled by the Brits for some odd reason. It's a weird scenerio.



shite is going to hit the fan if Northern Ireland breaks off from the UK to join the Republic of Ireland.

Honestly, England would be better off. They have all the wealth. They overwhelmingly have the biggest population. One part of me hates what's become of the British Empire... it was great once upon a time. But the Scots and the Irish are, outside of London, by far the biggest advocates of bringing in hordes of third worlders to the British Isles. With just London and Manchester to deal with, England would be in a better position to preserve their culture and people.

The Scottish National Party ran on independence from the UK for decades and finally got a national referendum on the ballot a few years back… only to lose.

As I recall, the UK ran a scare tactics campaign about healthcare, pensions, and entitlements, and it swayed just enough people to defeat the referendum.

Will be interesting to see what happens this time.

It's not scare tactics.

Scotland and Northern Ireland are "Takers", which isn't shocking considering how far left they are.

The EU beast needs broken up. Imagine the ramifications of King Charles losing all of his manors, cottages, castles. His property portfolio would dwindle down.
