    I mean the UK won’t return Gilbraltar to Spain who were in the EU with them they won’t obviously return the falklands.

    “Return the Falklands”

    … do you know the history of the Falklands? At all?

    I’d like to see the UK also defending the “vote of the people” if Ireland voted to leave the UK

    Ireland literally did, almost a hundred years ago. North Ireland voted to stay. There was a legally binding Scottish referendum on independence a few years back that the UK pledged to abide by. Are you shitting me?

      You talk like it’s a done deal and recent talks about a referendum to revisit never existed.

        I… what?

        No, I talk about it like it was literally a “vote of the people” which the UK pledged to abide by, which is what is being discussed.
