What a lot of people don’t realize is that a world where nations maintain sovereignty and we have fragmentation based on the interests of specific nations is a world where the socialists and eco-nuts can’t ram their ideas down our throats. Globalists Like Obama, Tradeau, Merkel, Khan etc are poisons. 

Labour party ran on raising taxes having an open society 

Trump ran on america first. Johnson ran on one  Britain 

Sound familair??

For better or worse it looks like he may just be left with “Little England” when all is said and done...

How so?? Hes looking out for the sovereignty of england and trump is already looking to secure the trade deal with him. Johnson has the majority by a lot and can easily push through his agenda

It may end up pushing Northern Ireland and Ireland closer to unification as well.

That would be great. We have always wanted England to get the hell outta Ireland for a very long time

“Little England” is a nickname given to the sole nation of England (a constituent part of the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”, with Great Britain itself being an island and a political union consisting of England, Scotland, and Wales).  

The other parts of the U.K. (esp. Scotland) want to Remain™️®️©️ a part of the E.U.  Somewhat ironically, the SNP (a Scottish nationalist/independence party that is pretty much the sole political power in Scotland as of the election) is really in favor of being part of the EU,  but has a historical beef being part of the U.K.

By pushing through with Brexit (again, for better or worse), PM Johnson is probably going to light the fuse that sets off another Scottish independence election.  By pushing through Brexit on behalf of the UK he may be presiding over the breaking apart of his own country.  

What would be left would not be a U.K. or a Great Britain, but a “Little England”.

That sounds good to me. Break it all up. Give each country their own sovereignty and let's go from there

We’ve always been at war with Eurasia.

Europe depends on us. Always have. And trump is taking advantage of that. He knows he needs our protections so he leverages that to get money which is the right thing to do. Otherwise close up our military bases bring back the thousands people stationed around the world. Let's see what the trade deal looks like with the UK. The one with china looks great

Fossil fuel-reliant Poland has won a reprieve from the European Union’s climate neutrality goals that are part of the bloc’s newly adopted Green Deal scheme that seeks to aggressively de-carbonize Member States’ economies.

Poland, which gets 80 percent of its power from coal, was the lone holdout following a marathon debate in Brussels that concluded early Friday with European Union member states agreeing to the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.

Scotland wants another referendum on independence.  Unfortunately for them, the British government must agree at this time and Boris told them to pound sand.  So until Scotland gets an army, there is not much they can do.  But if they want to boycott Parliament like Sinn Fein, Boris will probably smile.

Scotland is part of the United Kingdom.  The US did not let the South walk.  The Scots had a referendum in 2014 - independence lost 55-45.  The Brits are not going to grant a referendum every time the Scots get their panties in a wad.  I suspect they may get another one - in about a generation.

That sucks. Give them their freedom. They have been fighting for it for 700 years

They had a vote 5 years ago - they did not want independence.  Not all Scots think alike.  Even Scots who want to remain in the E.U. do not necessarily want to leave the U.K.
