Obviously there is a prob, or for want of a Better Phrase......Brexit....Br.....
Everyone knows the main problems but one cannot say it aloud....
By all means expand on my thoughts.....
The UK has a national debt of £1.7 trillion, a falling currency value one of worst in the world, and a trade deficit of £133 billion and it left its biggest trade partner. Can the UK afford to be an independent country? :confused :lol:
The U.K. Is an independent country

I thought the United Kingdon, minus Scotland and a few other 'bits and pieces' voted to escape the clutches of Brussels for certain reasons. As it would appear that I am in the Company of an intellectual, I would pass the reasons over to you, as I am a 'bit of a foreigner'. I am not truly up to date on all things Europe.

No,The UK as a whole voted to leave the European Union.
When we voted as a nation to remain part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in 2014 we opted to remain part of the democratic process, not to pick and choose what we like or do not like.
The SNP's manifesto said they had a mandate to call another referendum if the material circumstances changed like taking Scotland out of the EU. It was in black and white. The country voted on that manifesto pledge and the SNP was returned to government. That is democracy.
Ruth Davidson says the UK government should not block a request for a referendum on Scottish independence.
