*** OFFICIAL BREXIT SUNLIT UPLANDS and #MEGA THREAD ***

It would be economically harmful to them assuming they did a hard Scotxit, so yes I'd consider it stupid.

So presumably you'd be posting regular updates in this thread, or perhaps a new thread, constantly showing us how stupid they are for putting sovereignty above economics? Every time some Karen moans about having to wait in traffic at the new checkpoint on the M6, you'll be sure to let us know, right?

You're absolutely right. France should implement a system whereby people can have their passports checked, stamped, and questions asked all while they're walking towards the ferry, so they don't have to lose any steps. Fucking Frenchies.

Or they could just hire more people. We're talking about a critical port here. The French government have a responsibility to ensure it runs smoothly. If we aren't hiring enough staff, same applies to us, whether that be the port of Dover, or a hypothetical border control post on the Scottish border. It's no good blaming Scotland for wanting a border, is it? It's their sovereign right, we have no choice but to respect it. Even if some people think it's stupid to not consider economics the absolute number one priority. Well, number two after climate change, obviously. Climate change, economics, sovereignty, that's the order of importance, right? Anyone who disagrees is stupid.

I'll absolutely be doing that. Though I'd have to start a new thread. #MSGA

lol, who's the Karen now?

No-one is forcing these people to holiday in the EU. The French have zero responsiblity for making it easy for us to enter France. It's up to them how long they're happy to let us stand in line. It's their country. Sovereignty baby!

Apart from the lols of having Scotland leave the UK to join the EU, it would be an economic disaster for them. They wouldn't be able to trade with the rest of the UK as easily, and they export about 4x as much to the UK as they do to the EU.

Right now, Northern Ireland is basically a giant duty free shop. It can trade with both the EU and UK easily . But that's only because it has a special arrangement with Ireland, which is guaranteed by the EU.

Scotland would not be getting any such cozy deals if they left us to join the EU, mainly because they'd have left us whereas NI hasn't.
