The whole of Scotland voted to remain. Unfortunately the racists and idiots in England and Wales outnumbered them.

If the whole of Scotland had indeed voted to remain, the referendum result would have swung the other way! 38% of Scotland voted to leave (1,018,322) so there were, in fact, more leavers there than in Wales (854,572). London could feel equally aggrieved as 59.9% wanted to remain. There was also a national turnout of only 72.2%. The 27.8% could have swung it for remain.

Not much! I was merely drawing attention to the fact that there were many leavers up there, too, and that, in a system where each vote counts, that was as decisive as leavers in Wales and England. London, as I said, can feel equally aggrieved - and probably does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wordplay Pete. @Formby is right in saying that if the whole of the Scotland vote (2,679,513) had been for remain remain would have won; it was decided on individual votes so which way any council or constituency voted was irrelevant.

And many will learn the hard way that the grass is not always greener on the other side, but it’s all been said before. So my final word is fuck the Brexiteers and their far right ideology, personally I wouldn’t be able to look my kids and grandkids in the face if I had voted out. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s far right to want to focus on your own, it’s just naive and selfish in varying degrees. also looks like I’ll have to pay vat on all my possessions that I’m moving back too, which is baffling (and not going to do), although I can claim “benefit” for the move to balance things out.

Not a single one of them can answer because not a single one knew what they were voting for. They voted for what they thought it meant but, since it was never defined, whatever they thought it meant was irrelevant. And lo! The clusterfuck was spawned. fuck the moral high ground. Something was stolen from me and now everyone is suffering the fate that was clearly going to happen because there was no plan, no definition and no care of what happened outside of a few lining their pockets. pete0 and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
