I voted for Brexit because I believed it was best for our country and that Cameron and his team would negotiate a successful separation , I had no love for the man but he could talk the talk.
It looks like under our weak and powerless leader May we are heading for the worst of outcomes , de facto members of the EU without any power to shape its direction , not what I voted for.
Every time I see Donald Tusk speak I'm reminded why I voted leave , we need to play the EU at their own game not capitulate to their hard ball tactics but that's what happens when you make deals with the Devil (DUP).

As much as I despised Cameron he was about 50 times more Prime Ministerial than Darth May. And yes, if he hung about to finish the job we'd be having different discussions on here.
I don't think so!!!
He was a Teresa May in a suit. He was out of his depth an
EU eunuch! While he was PM the EU knew the could have what ever they
wanted from the UK.
Theresa May promised us a Red, White & Blue Brexit (among other non-sensical said about a made up word) I guess we're starting to see what that actually means, and it isn't pretty...
I don't think she realised (and no one had told her) of the stranglehold the
EU had over the UK and the other countries who were becoming
restless and making noises of discontent.

Where are the protests? Are my fellow leave voters just going to sit there and tolerate what May has done. Sold us down the river completely.
What a gutless race of people we are that we are not out protesting, or even tearing Westminster to pieces.
I am no good on my own! I call for every member of ATS who voted leave-and your leave voting friends- to join me in storming Westminster.
We did not vote for this and I knew all along May was a sell out.
Ok I’ve calmed down now - But seriously what a joke. Why on Earth was a remainer ever put in power in the first place.
I don't think leaving the EU is a good idea at all, I never have. That being said, it's happening, badly but it's happening.
I'll join you in storming Westminster though, she's screwing the country up good and proper
She was a remainer, maybe this was her strategy all along?
The EU wants all our countries to become one super-country, the United States of Europe, with a single treasury, economic policy, armed forces, immigration policy. Many EU countries still have national service, where school-leavers serve in the miltary for a year. The UK would have to reintroduce this in order to conform with the rest of Europe.
That was always the plan; the British public would never go for it, especially after Word War II, but the politicians kept the plans secret for decades.

I Voted to stay, but i'll gladly join you in torching Westminster. I have my own reasons.
How is that even possible? Of course we don't want you to leave but it aint our call, obviously.
This no-deal-deal status quo isn't our fault, is it? Of course we don't want you to leave but it aint our call, obviously.
This no-deal-deal status quo isn't our fault, is it? Who's responsible for not delivering a roadmap now, shouldn't that be obvious as well?
The only way Scotland can escape this insanity is to finally grow a pair of #ing stones and fight for our independence.

I'm not saying Cameron was a great PM, he was far from it, I just think he would have done a better job of negotiating
Are you really suggesting that May walked into the top job without knowing, full well, the relationship the EU had with Britain? Surely as Home Secretary she would have been clued up?

I've no idea where it all goes
That's one of the reasons I voted out.
They seem to have big plans for the future.
A future beyond our lifetimes.
That's why they seem to have no regard for the people here and now.
We are collateral.
We are irrelevant.
That's how it seems to me anyway.
We elect leaders to deal with current events and the immediate future.
Not some distant, far off, imaginary Utopia.
Its all very noble to work towards a dream but not at the expense of those who have to live in the present.
Something, I feel, they've lost sight of.

You already did that and rejected the idea , how would being outside of the UK and the EU benefit Scotland ?

If we had the balls to vote for our independence in 2014 Westminster would have danced to whatever tune we wished..ie, Full fiscal autonomy would have been on offer if we changed our minds and stayed.
People forget that the UK has or had at the end of 2014 £1.9 trillion £ worth of assets of which 8% of those assets or the value of would have belonged to Scotland. Any black hole in Scotlands finances would have been well plugged and overnight scotland would have been one of the richest countries on Earth. Unfortunately the #ebags couldn't see the big picture and fell for the lies.
Lies like, The only way to stay a member of the EU is to vote NO. (we ended up out even though the majority voted in)
The only way for the shipyards to survive is if you vote NO, (already lost the ships they promised, hundreds of jobs gone last week)
Banks threatening to close if we dont vote NO, (62 Scottish branches of RBS and Lloyds to close)
Your money will be worthless,(pound on it's arse and prices of food through the roof)
Promises of more powers, (Tories and there new bigoted friends the DUP just Vote just last week to take hundreds more devolved powers from Scotland including fishing) etc etc etc. The list goes on.
#bags voted to stay, So where have they left us. Still Westminsters bitch but now a financial basket case and it's getting worse.

Nicola Sturgeon has announced that she intends to ask for a second referendum on Scottish independence because Brexit will result in Scotland being withdrawn from the European Union against its will.
The SNP was widely believed to have lost the economic argument during their first stab at independence in 2014, and it is difficult to see how they could win a re-run this argument in the current climate.
Falls in the price of oil have taken a hefty toll on Scotland's economy since 2014 and, coupled with the country's huge deficit and sluggish rate of growth, independence is an even riskier prospect now than it was two and a half years ago.
Scotland's oil revenue is running dry
Back in 2014, the SNP made a big noise about just how well an independent Scotland could perform on the world stage. Central to this thesis was the amount of money the country could make from North Sea oil.
Estimates as to just how much revenue could be produced from North Sea oil varied significantly depending on who you asked - but the price of oil itself seemed to be relatively stable at between $90 and $110 per barrel.
Remain or Armageddon, now that's the real crock mate!!!

There is no deal yet, only agreement on some aspects of BREXIT and if there is no full agreement then there still could be a hard BREXIT. Like was said previously by TM, No deal is better than a bad deal and the Chairman of Witherspoons spelt out why on the BBc news this morning. A lot of the negativity is disinformation and BS. I beleive and always have that we should walk away because we will ultimately be better off including lowe food prices in the UK etc etc. In March 2019 we will be 200m a week better off if we hard BREXIT and the tariff babble is a red herring!

She done a great job. If the UK wants to keep the commen market which it does. Then Europe will still have jurisdiction of UK law and human rights A brilliant deal.
Brexit gang you have been duuped. But really what do you expect..

:-)
My thread continues to capture the BREXIT stpry
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Well if the Chairman of Witherspoons says everything will be hunky dory then that'll be the end of the conversation then. I mean, why listen to real experts, Some of the finest minds in world finance when we can rely on a pub landlord for all the facts. Crock of # mate...which part? All of it.
