If you ask people in England if they are worried about Scotland or NI leaving the UK because of anything, I can guess their reply.
Polls a few years back showed they'd be happy about them being outside the Kingdom. It's one reason why the government quickly ruled out a national vote on Scotland's independence, since it would definitely have resulted in freedom for Scotland.
.
True, a poll has shown a big swing to Remain from their very marginal referendum Leave vote. Wales is now decidedly Remain, leaving only England in the UK wishing to Brexit.
Thinks, how about a coup? Scotland, Ireland and Wales banding together and throwing England out of the UK?

That's the UK as the 51st US state. So much for regaining control.

It's usually the source that locks the copyright image, so in this case perhaps pedelecs protecting its own.I liked that.
I tried to post an image of that in response to your post but something is going horribly wrong with images on this site - for me. I suspect it is the various ad-blocking and third-party blocking, etc., but images you post appear as

Another one gone thanks to an active local constituency party!
Angela Smith MP, representing Penistone & Stocksbridge constituents, has been kicked out. Attached is the 'VoxPolitical' story on that but it's worth noting the following about this woman from the 'Wikipedia' notes on her:
She is one of 98 MPs who voted unsuccessfully to keep their expense details secret in 2007. She defended her vote on the grounds that it would help member-constituent confidentiality, and to help prevent the private addresses of MP's being readily available to the public.[17]
In 2009, Smith was one of the MPs whose expenses were highlighted by The Daily Telegraph during the Parliamentary expenses scandal, as she had submitted expenses claims for four beds for a one bedroom flat in London.[18]
Smith employs her husband as her Senior Parliamentary Assistant on a salary up to £40,000.[19] She was listed in articles in the Daily Telegraph and Guardian criticising the practice of MPs employing family members, on the lines that it promotes nepotism.[20] [21] Although MPs who were first elected in 2017 have been banned from employing family members, the restriction is not retrospective - meaning that Smith's employment of her husband is lawful.[22]

Anyone know if we will be able to put GB stickers on our cars on 29/03/2019 or will we have to wait until we finally leave leave?
Mind, I thought that GB stickers were entirely legal, just unnecessary within the EU.
(Amazing what promises have been made or implied. This was from last year - nothing new.)
TAKE BACK CAR-NTROL
Drivers WILL be able to return to having GB stickers on their vehicles after Brexit – and dump EU number plates

That would create loads of employment opportunities rebuilding Hadrian's wall and Offa's Dyke!True, a poll has shown a big swing to Remain from their very marginal referendum Leave vote. Wales is now decidedly Remain, leaving only England in the UK wishing to Brexit.

If Ireland joins in with that it'll be a bit more serious than a coup.Thinks, how about a coup? Scotland, Ireland and Wales banding together and throwing England out of the UK?

That leaves a large chunk of land between Hadrian's Wall and the current Scottish border. I take it this would be ceded to Scotland, leaving even less room for the 60 million to perch on. I suppose it could be treated as a DMZ such as that splitting the Korean peninsula.That would create loads of employment opportunities rebuilding Hadrian's wall and Offa's Dyke!

As for Offa's Dyke who is she?

You can even have Man U stickers on your car in the EU ,we don't mind. I would assume that the number plate with all the stars on a blue background ,is the bit which would be redundent..
Could I patent a transparent sticker showing a red S t Georges cross on a transparent background for placing over the EU logo... ?. It would be highly indicative.
Here in Ireland,we have a way of recognising Northern Unionist cars from other NI cars. .. all NI cars have 4 digit numbers ,but only Unionists put NI stickers on the back.
But you cannot see the reverse of that placard.. perhaps it reads, " we now know the face of sin. "
That's more drivel from the Sun.
GB stickers have always been required when driving abroad.
If you have a number plate with GB in the EU flag you don't need a GB sticker when driving in the EU member countries.
If you have any of the other permitted country flags you must also have a GB sticker when driving abroad including the EU countries.
The addition of a country identifier is allowed under UK Number Plate Regulations but is not compulsory and remains the driver's choice.

"Mr Raab, who negotiated for the UK with the EU's Michel Barnier, has been explaining his decision to quit on the BBC's Andrew Marr show.
With "two or three points" being changed he could support the government's proposals, he said.
He said he did not know who had inserted a clause on customs relations into the future partnership document but said it was a "clear breach" of the Conservative manifesto."
So the exBrexit Sec didn't read the doc before handing it over? - Is there a saboteur cum Gremlin lurking in Downing St that stitched him up...
