    "so does this mean no Brexit after all?"
    "or what?"

    We don't even want to talk about it it seems, but, somebody has to.
    Now what?
    Years and years of back and fourth until Brexit has eroded?

    This is democracy cancelling out democracy.

    Sometimes (like once a year maybe).
    That said, I accidentally found BBC Alba once and... Wow.
    I don't speak Gaelic so to me, every other word was 'Bicycle' and the map;
    Wow...
    I should get out more, but that fascinated me and grabbed my full attention, even more than that amputee weather lady with the one arm.

    BBC Alba, was an eye opener.

    I had never even heard of it when it happened (recently/this year), so when I stumbled across it; wow.
    I was speechless glued to it; I had never seen anything like that before.

    I dare say my jaw dropped watching/finding BBC Alba.

    Ever seen Star Trek The Next Generation?
    Somebody (a Scottish lass from a Scottish isle/off the mainland, one of them) once tried to teach me how to say loch, as in Loch Ness...
    Sounded like a Klingon, and I'm not saying the word loch right, apparently.

    So, do Scottish people refer to themselves as Scottish or British (or both)?

    lol I shudder to think how much money we've paid in to it since we joined 'the common market'?? - it must be at least 4 or 5 trillions of pounds, and all for some vanity project, and a future 'pension plan' for the political elitists of the member states and their friends and families.
