BREXIT

[VNA]

because I don't like living under their jackboot any more than you like living under the English one

Ogri, the jackboot is used as a symbol of cruel or authoritarian behaviour or rule.  Neither of which could be attributed to the EU or the UK.  The use of such language, whether directed at England or the EU, is offensive, uncalled for and unhelpful. 

This cartoon you posted is proof that you really don't get it, you posted it as an anti brexit cartoon but totally failed to understand how leavers would see it.

No, it just made me laugh.  All those wee references that come together to make it funny.  Peter Brookes, the cartoonist sketches for both left and right leaning publications.

Let me try and help you.

No, no, no, please fazersharp, do not even try and go there.

Take your loathing of the English and the hatread and contempt you so readily spew out against "Westminster" - actually doesn't matter to you which government sits there. Unfortunately for you Vladimir already has a job.

Jesus you can't help yourself, can you?  I have no loathing of the English.  I have as a Scot had decades of government I did not vote for, governments that my country did not vote for.  I wish England was different, but it isn’t, and it’s actually becoming increasingly extreme, so much so it even wants to walk away from the EU.  England is swinging hard to the right, the extreme right.

Well a lot of your reasons and thinking are the same as a lot of leavers but instead they are directed at the way the EU is run.  Strange how a scots independence voter does not want to be ruled from "westminster"  all of 400 miles away but perfectly happy to take rules from Brussels 700 miles away.

No absolutely not.  England is increasingly suffering from nationalism.  Scotland simply wants political independance, but within a wider economic union.


But then I understand something that you clearly do not.  I understand the difference between economic union and sovereign union.  Nor am I, unlike you, an isolationist.
