Agreed, that was our Home Office's decision. But like it or not, the Supreme Court ruling supports that position in practice, as does the position of the majority of the British public surveyed.

Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date

It's for Him to say, but I think God's representative in the pedelecs forum meant the Spanish would prefer to establish where there was restriction free access to the EU and EEC countries.

Looks like Boris has to watch his second best choice Chancellor of the Exchequer as well as Gove!
Sunak's Covid-friendly charm offensive was focused on Rupert Murdoch and his minions. He met the octogenarian tycoon towards the end of August, when he notes that "hospitality" was received. Sunak has also acknowledged in newly-released transparency data that he has met with the boss of Murdoch's UK operation Rebekah Brooks, and, on two occasions, Victoria Newton, the Sun editor. On the same day he met with Newton in July, her paper noted: "what a relief that the chancellor has got his head screwed on."
What a nest of Vipers they are

Nor me!
Probably due to an earlier burst of political correctness in having a female equivalent.

The court has ruled that her rights have not been breached. The court has placed U.K. national security ahead of other considerations.
She ain’t comin’ back. That’s the only thing that matters. It sends out a powerful message which may save others from perusing a similar lifestyle to the one she chose.
If Scotland chooses to split from the UK, I would expect that any U.K. government investment in new manufacturing or infrastructure would remain in theU.K. I think they’ll pull the military and associated civilian jobs out too. No more cash sent north either. It’s starting to sound attractive from this end.
Be interesting to consider what would happen to a Stranraer tunnel - especially if half-dug.
There will be slight problems of course, little details like find a new base for the Trident Missile submarines for example, unless of course the Scots keep them...
That would be fun, wouldn't it?
Just how would we stop them doing that?
A Nuclear power to the North , EU to the South and no doubt the Welsh would be wanting to break away too!
What UK?
Be careful what you vote for (for once)
Good.. Then both we and the EU are of one mind. Scotland starts off with the advantage that it has enormous fishing grounds, ..which the EU will be happy to engage with, then sell what remains of North Sea Oil at a good price, and of course their Hydropower. .. How is England self sufficient in water?. Scotland would not be required to pay for the nuclear weapons infrastructure off Glasgow. You see an independent Scotland would need EU support for a while, as they eventually develop their self confidence. But develop it they will. Remember, the majority of Financial Institutions in the UK were of Scottish invention, The Industrial Revolution in Great Britain was a child of Scottish enterprise.
Don't underestimate the Scots ..its not all jam and the Dandy.
This is an interesting idea
"I would expect that any U.K. government investment in new manufacturing or infrastructure would remain in theU.K. "
Forget the idea of investment, they stopped that after the Attlee government
What we do now if bribe foreign companies to open factories because we lack the balls to do it ourselves.
And with the small market we now have we have to rely on one of two things
Entice a company to come in the full knowledge that before long they will do what all blackmailers do (and of course the DUP) and demand a bigger bung
Find an alternative financial swindle to replace the London betting shop and house of negotiable affection
And we make the best engineers in the world, what other nation could boast of inventing trousers??

Hands up those who thought I was going to say
De-invented them?
England gets around 300 million cubic metres of water a year - from Wales.
nuclear weapons 100% HOAXThere will be slight problems of course, little details like find a new base for the Trident Missile submarines for example, unless of course the Scots keep them...

There are so many UK infrastructure projects that don't involve foreign investment, foreign material suppliers, or foreign contractors, that I can't think of any. Scotland leaving the Union won't change that.
As regards defence, of course UK defence jobs would go, an independent Scotland would require its own defence force which should cost around £1bn per annum, similar to Ireland, and not the £3.5bn currently charged to Scotland by the UK.
There won't be any cash heading south for the treasury to send back north.
Whether some cash heads north will all depend on what rUK intends to do with its nuclear toys in the Gairloch and rotting obsolete nuclear subs in Rosyth.
Anyway, the timing is wrong, HS2 will be built before Scotland leaves the Union, look how long Brexit took and it's not even sorted yet.
