Scotland can be Canada's new Newfoundland. 8O


Better yet. Scotland would become "New Nova Scotia" ("New 'New Scotland'"). :lol:


Better as a wordplay joke, but Nova Scotia was one of the original four; Newfoundland was an independent nation that came under direct British rule only to be made a part of Canada - exactly mirroring Scotland's history if this scenario were to occur (independent Scotland, union with England, confederation with Canada)

Scotland and Northern Ireland might have a future, but that future may be as independent nations instead of as parts of the not-so-United Kingdom.


Would you prefer just to kill those people off now that you disagree with? I mean for f**k sake this is pure Nazism.


Since it's largely generational, there's no need for violence. I'm sorry you've been triggered. :lol:


Haha. Brave of you to rejoice about people dying and to try and wind me up behind your keyboard. Go and tell some elderly people to their faces you are waiting for them to die. Or do it in front of their sons and daughters. But you won't of course. Not without your keyboard miles away.


How dare I state the fact that older people will likely die before younger people. I didn't know you were so quick to become over-emotional in the face of objective facts. Do you need a safe-space? Maybe a juice box and a binkie?


You said they needed to be cleared out. I don't like Nazism/bullies no. But people who write things online they wouldn't say in real life are hilarious. Tragic.

Okay. Newfoundland is their Texas. A separate country for a while, before joining the Union. Interesting. I guess I knew that from that stamp album I had as a child -which had a chapter for stamps from Newfoundland, that were NOT Canadian stamps, but I forgot about that. :)

Don't be cowardly and try to wriggle out of it. Be proud of your Nazi like views. Obviously as long as the mods agree with the person it is ok for them to sing for the Forth Reich. I mean you are asking for elderly British people to die off to help Germany? It is good that we get a longer chance to debate Nazism on this site.

Most of the tripe in this thread is beyond ignorance.



Another woefully unintelligent post from you . I am neither neoliberal or one of the metropolitan elite living in London . It is the disabled and poor that will be hit hardest by Brexit .


The poorest voted to leave. How will leaving the EU hurt the disabled?



Impact on social care.


https://www.vodg.org.uk/news/government ... re-sector/


These are problems with THIS country. We cannot rely on people from foreign countries to keep pouring in. It is a lazy cop out. If pretty much everyone goes to university (so they can be ripped off by the state) no younger people are going to be carers. We can keep laws similar to the EU ones that you are keen on (if we get the right government). We need to stop being so pathetic and become a self sufficient country again.



Being totally self sufficient is a pipe dream . Some would like us to be the 51st state of the USA.

What part of natural lifespan are you struggling to comprehend? I'm literally saying this is an issue that will self-correct because of demographics. The future of Britain wants Britain to be part of the EU.

I'm not asking anyone to die. I don't need to ask anyone to die, it happens whether or not I do anything, regardless of whether or not I desire it. Are you just butthurt over the demographic realities?

Pathetic. You know what you said and were implying with the "dead weight holding the UK back".

Anyone have 2 Pages in the sweepstakes as to when the first 'nazi' accusation would be thrown around? :lol:

Poor derail attempt there. Yours are usually a better standard than that.

Just keep screaming 'nazi' at anything and everything, millennial.

I know exactly what I meant. You still seem to be struggling with comprehending what I meant, hence your hysterics.

Wasn't a derail. Just wiping out the pretence that you are some happy go lucky. I can still remember you saying "why won't anyone do something?" About me.

I'm shining a light on virtuous liberals who scream and ban about facts they don't like while they now call for journalists to be killed, rejoice in the thought of the British elderly dying off so a democratic vote can be overturned or defend nukes being dropped on civilians. If people don't like being compared to Nazis then stop acting like them.

maybe stop trying to get personal with people, screaming 'nazi' at everything and derailing every thread that goes in a direction you don't like.

anyway, back to the thread topic......

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland does not have a future. Soon, we shall leave in the Post British Era. Perhaps, just perhaps, there will be a United Ireland!
