Ian-S Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I forgot to add that it would be interesting to hear the EU's thoughts on the proposals now considering they were none to welcoming the last time to Scotland, but knowing the EU they'll just welcome them with open arms this time. I've given up trying to have a reasonable discussion about Independence with our Scottish half of the family (who were all for it first go around) because as soon as you make any mention of their ability to sustain themselves on oil and whiskey you might as well just set off the nukes there and then, they've all got this attitude of 'shut your cakhole we'll be fine' and never actual address the slightly huge black hole in the piggybank. Trade deals work two ways though, think the EU have forgotten that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roodie Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 First off, I don't know a huge amount about all of this and what trade deals and the free movement of people deals. But a thought just popped in to my head. What would happen if Scotland left the UK, remained as part of the EU and the Britain had restricted terms for the movement of people? I doubt a situation like that would occur, but just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 That's exactly what is (potentially) going to happen with Ireland and Northern Ireland. You'll probably find they'll be some sort of regional agreement where residents of each side get free movement but outsiders won't, so for you question an English passport holder will be able to travel to Scotland and vice verca, but a German passport holder working in Scotland will only have travel access to England (no right to work, claim benefits etc). Much like how a Canadian visits America now, flash your passport at the border check, answer a few questions and drive on through, but remember to go home when you're done (not quiet that simple in reality tho).

Ian-S Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Don't quote me on it, I'm sure they'll find some way to make it infinitely more complex, or use it as an excuse to push through big brother style I.D. cards. I can just imagine it now, 50p + I.D. card required to use the toilets at Cobham Services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 In 2010, Beckhams's charity work with Save the Children earned her a nomination for the Do Something With Style Award, an awards show, produced by VH1. She is a patron of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Beckham promotes faux/synthetic furs. Her stand against the fur industry generated praise from animal rights organisations, including PETA. Beckham has stated that she is "supportive of its [PETA's] high-profile anti-fur campaigns," and pledged "never to work with fur in any of her own fashion collections". Merry Christmas.

Whatever Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Rest in Peace, Carrie Fisher. Not only just iconic as Princess Leia, Carrie has always been brutally honest about her experiences with mental illness and drugs. A very inspiring woman; my thoughts are with her family and friends. Probably the only celebrity death I've cried over this year. L7123456, Mer, Ian-S and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project LC Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 What I don't understand at the moment is the current protests about Trump taking place in the UK. He is an elected official of a different country. The people of the united states may have elected a right wing extremist but the point is he was still elected. What exactly are these protests trying to achieve? They know who he was and they still elected him so continuing to call him a racist/sexist I don't think is going to change the American populations mind. 400400, Ian-S and ThemeParkCrafter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
