So you know what's going to be in the British bill of rights before its written? Or are you guessing?

On a related topic I am pleased to see that Theresa May has ruled out membership of the Single Market. This means we will not be subject to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice after we leave and will be able to make all our own laws. Likewise she has given a strong indication that the UK will leave the Customs Union, which means we can sign our own trade details. Lots of countries have expressed a strong interest so we should start negotiating them now even if they can't be signed and come into effect until we leave.

I find the SNP position on this amusing.

How dare you drag Scotland out of the single market!!!!

But their policy is to drag Scotland out of it's single and most important market.

They have also showed surprising concern in the Commons about the Irish border problem, whilst seeking to create a similar and perhaps more significant problem along Hadrians Wall.

As I think I may have said before the Scots should not have had a vote in the referendum as surely a condition of taking part is that you abide by the decision whatever it may be.

Along Hadrian's Wall? So they are claiming most of Northumberland and a bit of Cumbria ? That really will cause a "significant problem". :)

According to Scotland.org Scotland's top export markets are:

USA
Netherlands
France
Germany

They're big seafood exporters, especially salmon and langoustines, and obviously whisky is a massive export for them. Apparently there is more Scottish whisky sold in France each month than Cognac in a year!

And if they leave the U.K. it will be with the aim of remaining in the EU

Scotlands biggest export market by a country mile is England and always will be barring an apocalypse south of Gretna.

I don't think they give two fecks what you find amusing, you're not the audience being played too. Additionally I believe they're now on record stating the economic penalties of leaving the UK will be worth it to achieve independence from Westminster.

Whether you like it or not, that's not how democracy works. Scotland is a separate country, albeit not a separate sovereign state. And with the degree of separateness it has comes the legitimacy to say "**** this, we're off"

To me Mays comments looked like the unofficial early negotiations with the EU, I still consider Westminster to be the biggest threat to Brexit with some horrible uncertain turd that been polished.
