Brexit

Ireland should just leave the EU as well, that's the best solution.

Exactly, you don't see the Welsh causing problems like this!

So the Lucien solution is to grow up and impose more national borders?

But at the same time he no longer supports Scottish independence…..

Really? Did you not notice the strawberry floating massive moat they built from Gloucester down to the Bristol channel?

strawberry floating castle loving Welshies.

Less a new democracy, more a complete hypocrisy.

I find Lucien wanting this at any stretch that he'd burn anything and everything to get, including democracy apparently very sad. I mean at this point so many facts have proven false it's now less about Remain or Leave as it is True Or False.

Lucien earlier today

You just don’t get it do you?

Lucien is right. Ireland and Northern Ireland should grow up and except the will of the English and Welsh people’s desire to impose a border. Why should the Irish and Northern Irish have any say over this, when England and Wales have decided for them?

That’s democracy and the will of the people.

Beginning to think Lucien is in fact an 87 year old man called Reginald who wears his UKIP rosette to bingo every Sunday and rants to his few remaining friends about his daughter's Pakistani husband

There is no way that an 87 year old man called Reginald that wears a UKIP rosette calls his son-in-law a "Pakistani".

I can’t watch this at work so I’ve no idea how funny/annoying it is, but it might give you all a laugh.

I listened in real time this morning, it’s amazing.

I hope they frogmarch the daft bastard to the ferry in March 2019.

I got really angry listening to this.

Just listened to it.

He wants Britain to be “free” while he continues to live in the EU and doesn’t want to come back to Britain because of the traffic.

And he’s one of the more intelligent sounding ones.

Not forgetting he doesn't like all the foreigners that live here

He was kind of pushed into saying that, but yeah he’s definitely the type of “ex-pat” that left the UK because of all the “immigrants”.

A vague prediction for the next fifty years, which will probably be very wrong given the nature of politics but anyway:

* The UK has a hard Brexit, which is very damaging but something it can still struggle through until...
* Soon afterwards there is another global financial shock (which we are overdue for already), and the UK is really badly positioned to handle it so...
* The UK is thrown into crisis and the economic situation, already stretched thin as it tries desperately to adjust to life outside the EU, deteriorates very rapidly, possibly forcing IMF intervention.
* SNP take advantage of the situation to call another referendum. Many who voted no in the last referendum decide they backed the wrong horse, given what has happened since, and independence goes through by 51-55%, with Scotland quickly declaring independence and formerly beginning the process of applying for EU membership.
* The UK situation goes from bad to worse following the Scottish ref and it re-applies to join the single market.
* Ten or twenty years later Sinn Féin is the biggest party in NI, calls and then wins a border poll. With the break up of Scotland many Ulster unionist realise the UK they once belonged to is dead anyway and pretty much give up.
* England and Wales continue on as the UK and eventually join the rest of the EU again, but as nowhere near as powerful and as wealthy as they used to be compared to Germany and France, who have both avoided too much political chaos and are reaping the rewards of the fourth industrial revolution.
