I heard that Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales leaders are planning to meet to break up UK. Is it really true? Anyone from UK here who can tell me what is actually happening there?

    Northern Ireland always saying something along those lines no one listens to them. The Welsh leader is new and is just mouthing off because it will make some headlines for him, SNP get the Scottish riled up, I don’t know how much the average Scott really wants to leave the Union if anyone had a point they would but I tend to think that it’s just the loud minority.

    Although personally I think we would all be better off if we just move the capital to literally anywhere other than London.

      I think if there was another Scottish referendum now, Scotland would leave the UK. It was close last time, but brexit really fucked everything up and the UK’s general behaviour ever since hasn’t been exactly reassuring. I think the majority of Scots would rejoin the EU.

        That’s not the question though. If Scotland leave the UK they would then need to apply for EU membership, which is no sure fire thing.

      Yeah, it’s been a time since you guys have London as your capital. What about Manchester?
