No they aren't even proper UK citizens, it's ~~just a colony~~ overseas territory or something.

e: Whether that's better than the French and Dutch version of the country sprawling across continents is debatable. There is far more limited immigration for one. Possibly so that argies can't get in somehow.

Watson has zero cut-through, Westminster 'He's The Fixer' crap doesn't change that at some point literally any plan he could make requires 50%+1 of Labour members onside and that's never happening.

It's loving incredible how badly Swinson and the nu labs are handling this. They would win a second referendum, their whole angle should be getting one by pointing out correctly that making policy assuming all leave voters are no-deal supporters is obvious bullshit, but instead they are pushing nothing but BOLLOCKS TO BREXIT westminster level edgelord shite and carrying on their corbynbadism.

Just briefly stop visibly munching the Boursin for 10 seconds and make the actual strong argument, fall in behind the leader of the opposition to force a vote, win it and get on with your lives. I don't even want to stop Brexit but even I'm frustrated by these useless libs.

The lamest anti-British cause.

The Falklands is like Argentina somehow got to the British Crimes store really late and missed out on all the stuff, and then went home and made a really bad one out of dry macaroni.

"settle" - this really betrays your motivations.

let me tell you a trick about borders that everyone who isn't a nationalist sees as painfully evident - i grew up in canada, and I grew up in the empire. scotland, even if it left, will be part of the empire for the forseeable - as long as it continues to profit from it. a change of flags does not cease colonialist imperialism - if anything, it apologizes for it.

it is material relationships that define power, not some liberal nonsense about flags. it's the same reason french colonialism never really stopped - so long as the violent exploitation of the global underclass continues so do empires. what else are they.

like nominally you're some sort of socialist, right? there is no war but class war and there never was anything but. i couldn't give two shits about the union and never did.
