The Russians seem like they are pretty good at winning elections. I hope they support Scottish Independence. Any idea if Nicola and Alex have been in touch with them yet?

I don't think independence for small nations is something Putin would get behind.

Depends if he is happy to break up the UK or not. He might get a good deal on some Tridents too if May keeps up her nonsense.

Ooh, I forgot about Trident. Yeah, that would create a problem for NATO so maybe Putin would get behind it.
At least some are doing some good work:

Quite a good blogpost from a poster at Badscience

Yeah, Trident is little spoken about, kind of an elephant in the room. Everyone knows it's there, but nobody says a word.
Practically speaking, were a Scotexit to occur, I guess Portsmouth or similar could be re-tooled. Wherever, it wouldn't be fast.
No, of course not. It's something Islam teaches and some Muslims follow those teachings. The difference between Ukraine and Syria is that Ukraine minus Crimea has a negligible number of Muslims, plus the small number it does have are less likely to follow those teachings for one reason or another.
If you want to keep this from turning into a yet another debate about Islam you should stop asking questions like these. It's not like you didn't know what I was going to say.

BBC article summarising Brexit impact:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39257947
That's fine but.....
...compared to financial services it's tiny. Indeed the drop in financial services could be larger than the entire automotive industry.
That's a large number of largely well paying jobs leaving
The most telling part of the article is that only speak about limiting the damage to each of the five sectors. I don't see any mention of new opportunities that might spring up as Brexiteers kept hinting, but never provided anything that was concrete.
If Theresa May does one hell of a job and ensures the damage is minimal to none, UK still wouldn't benefit from Brexit. It is universally accepted doing so would be a feat of diplomacy without historic precedents.

No I said let's not turn this into another one of your Muslims are bad people who want to kill us threads. You know the kind. The ones where you say incredibly silly things like "It's something Islam teaches".
Or where you make excuses for every other kind of terrorism as if, like Trump, you are OK when it's white folk doing it.
Where did you get that idea? I would oppose importing people who believed Mao Zedong had the right idea of how to run a nation as well.

Would you be opposed to allowing Chinese immigration too then? Since Chinese people are actually taught that in their schools. Is there anyone who isn't white you ARE ok with just to check?
If it was a million Chinese coming in without documents and not through the usual channels, yes I would. Wouldn't you?
I sincerely doubt that. They're taught he was a great leader and all, but they aren't taught his Great leap forward was a great success to emulate.
The way Syrians and others were let in - nearly all of them white if that matters to you - it would be a problem regardless of where they came from, including Canada.

Ceptimus was saying (monthes) earlier that the auto industry and the farmer would put the screw on the EU to get a good deal.
well at least the auto industry (Germany here) state that the single market is far more important than a good deal with UK:
https://politicalscrapbook.net/2016...cturing-will-suffer-badly-from-a-hard-brexit/
No news from the farming industry, but I am betting it is the same for them.
In other word.... One of the stuff Ceptimus pretended would happen, pressure from various industry onto the EU is not happening. On the contrary they seem to be putting pressure to keep a single market as is and not have UK exception.
I wonder what Ceptimus would made of this article and his post on the subject of the industries pressuring EU for the UK export
.

More experts doing their expert stuff, they've thoroughly established experts and educated people don't count. The only people are the uneducated laymen, who don't suffer from herd mentality.
I'm not even sarcastic, mind you.

A news broadcast yesterday gave me a real WTF moment yesterday. Two clips of Mrs May were played where she stated (paraphrased):-
1. “Brexit mean that Parliament will scrutinise any law made – they won’t be enforced on us by faceless hordes of civil servants”
2. “The Repeal Bill will mean that any law could be repeal without having to involve Parliament in the decision”

Quiz time!
Who said this:
“What I do think is that the UK needs to lead in Europe,” she said. “I think over the years the UK has tended to take a view that Europe is something that is done to us, we have taken a rather backseat position to Europe, I think that when we go out there, when we can take the initiative and when we lead, we can achieve things. So I do think we need to make sure we are taking the lead.”

Answering such questions has been easy since 1998.
