and for the life of me I've never understood why Scotland wasn't independent.
Ireland has needed to be united for a long time, and for the life of me I've never understood why Scotland wasn't independent. It seems to me it's all been part of England hanging on to being dominant, but what do I know. I'm glad America stays out of their business and lets them work it out on their own.
Possibly because they get free prescriptions and eye tests etc - funded by the English.
They had a referendum last year on leaving the U.K. Everyone said the result would be very close a that they might vote to leave - in fact they voted to stay, by a margin of 10%. Nicola Sturgeon is currently trying to get another referendum.
We are still IN Europe just not part of the political union. We are also still in the Commonwealth, Nato etc. We can now do deals with other countries, and since the referendum some people have admitted that, yes, we can survive outside the EU.
In a few years time we might be saying "that was the worst thing we ever did" - or, in a few years time the EU might have collapsed and need rebuilding and other countries could be saying "thank you Britain for being brave enough to lead the way". We just don't know.
Scripture says that there is a time to tear down and a time to rebuild - how do we know that this wasn't the right time to tear down?
And it's rather insulting to say that the British are "too fine" for the work of harvesting.

Many people in this country still feel a close connection with the United Kingdom, whether through studies, work or simply out of sympathy. To illustrate the British in these difficult times that they will remain a part of Europe despite Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union, the newspaper has set "Time" hashtag #WeLoveUKBecause in the world.

The British will have to pay dearly for their NO to the EU. And yes, the Brits can may survive, but, what is the price for it?
Both can happen. But at the moment the EU is much stronger than the British think. I agree with some points of criticism of the British EU opponents. The EU needs to be reformed.
Let's see what happens when the UK throw out these Poles, Bulgarians and Romanians of the country, who then enters the harvest?
And I pray for her, that she (Nicola Sturgeon) win this referendum. Scottland needs to be a free country, without the british paternalism. London does little for the Scots, but requires a lot from them. It is time, to show in London the "red card".
I think Scotland will find out just how much they rely on England and will find ut the hard way they will lose more than they will gain.And I pray for her, that she (Nicola Sturgeon) win this referendum.

I never claimed that there is would be an easy walk for Scotland; to leave England and go to the EU. The Scots will lose some, but has also much to win, in which they finally strip off the yoke of another British dominance. And, the Scots are currently much more popular than the English in the EU.I think Scotland will find out just how much they rely on England and will find ut the hard way they will lose more than they will gain.
