Dear
#Brexiters
,
For something to be a
#brexit
benefit, it needs 3 things.
1. Something that couldn't possibly have happened as members of the
#EU
.
2. Worth more to the country than what we lost from leaving the EU.
3. You have to be able to prove points 1 and 2.
#RejoinEU
Just realised the Glasgow immigration incident happened in Nicola Sturgeon's constituency?
Did Patel intentionally send in the police in on the day Nicola was being sworn in?

Where does this idea come from that people who want Scotland independent somehow hate the English?
We don't hate the English. It has little to do with England or Ireland or Wales. They are as trapped with Westminster as Scotland.
We want good neighbours not bickering flatmates.

I was born in Germany. And I'm speechless with shock that someone else born in Germany and benefited all their lives from FoM, could vote to cut FoM off for future generations and make Britain forever an isolated, parochial little England.

The nationalism of Finland freeing itself from Russia is not the same as the nationalism of Germany invading Poland.

Yes of course they do because vaccinated people outnumber unvaccinated people by a factor of about 100.

Cummings is like the new IT guy in the office. Excited about the theory he's learned at uni, he takes it on himself to rewrite the entire office's software and ends up breaking it by ignoring all the real world messiness that's been accounted for by years of experienced coders.

Normally, if a journalist gets a leak from about a possible 2 tier health service, they would check the source (a meeting of NHS trust bosses, who don' make policy, so story debunked already) then check with policy makers who would also debunk it.
Instead BBC just publish blind!

Nobody has said Scottish independence is like the war in Ukraine. But plenty of people have pointed out that if you support independence for Ukraine then in principle you support independence for Scotland.

You wastrel.
FoM and Erasmus were about anyone with good enough qualifications being given the opportunity to live and study in a foreign country and learn a new language and make new friends from different backgrounds.
The entire point is it wasn't just for middle classes.

2. There's no-one to pick them because they all left after the hostile environment of brexit!

Because brexit was a con by the establishment to fool people into thinking they were getting one up on the establishment.
That's how cons work. The mark is made to think they're the ones who have the upper hand on someone else.

There's 2 worrying things about that result.
1. Almost 13,000 people voted Tory.
2. Over 8,000 people voted for Galloway.
It's worrying that people are taken in so easily.

So no kids.
That means no kids clothes, no kids bedrooms to heat. No other hungry mouths to feed. Extra travel to drop kids off at the school, no worry about their education, no having to juggle diaries round the kids, no having the washing machine on every day.
Nice try!

Nope. She congratulated Liverpool and wished them luck.
But your tweet demonstrates what a nasty individual you are. And worse, you assume everyone else is as nasty as you.

I am a violinist in a movie. As I raise my violin to my chin, using the wrong hand I exchange a knowing glance with the conductor, and my lover. He raises his baton and I play the entire Tchaikovsky violin concerto in 3 minutes without my bow matching the music.

You can't name a single improvement since we left the EU. The ball's in your court.
BTW leaving the largest common market in the world with our closest and biggest friends and allies was always going to be a disaster.

As someone who wants Scotland to be independent of Westminster, I came to the realisation in the 90s that Westminster is the odd one out in the whole of the EU. The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish parliaments are far more closely aligned to the European model...

Here's an idea. Any time we see a tweet by a Scottish person putting down Scotland, such as "Scotland has no place on the world stage" , "there's no place for gaelic signs" , "Scottish music isn't real music" etc..., then we both reply and quote tweet with
