This is interesting:

70. We asked Sir David whether he thought the Scottish Parliament would have
to give its consent to measures extinguishing the application of EU law in
Scotland. He noted that such measures would entail amendment of section
29 of the Scotland Act 1998, which binds the Scottish Parliament to act in a
manner compatible with EU law, and he therefore believed that the Scottish
Parliament’s consent would be required.83 He could envisage certain political
advantages being drawn from not giving consent.84
71. We note that the European Communities Act is also entrenched in the
devolution settlements of Wales and Northern Ireland. Though we have
taken no evidence on this specific point, we have no reason to believe that
the requirement for legislative consent for its repeal would not apply to all the
devolved nations.

You can't un-pull the trigger, UK.

Stop with this #Regrexit stuff; it's embarrassing for us all. Live with your decision.

Ratings agency Moody's has changed the UK's sovereign rating from "stable" to "negative" due to the uncertainty unleashed by the result of the EU referendum.

It said that the unpredictability of UK decision-making factored into its move, as did the likelihood of lower economic growth.

Leave supporters have largely dismissed warnings about the economic consequences as scaremongering, and are confident Britain will negotiate trade deals and immigration controls superior to those it already has.

But Moody's said leaving the EU was likely to leave Britain, the world's fifth-largest economy, with less money to spend on public services.

"The negative effect from lower economic growth will outweigh the fiscal savings from the UK no longer having to contribute to the EU budget," it said.

i believe we are now downgraded to 6th largest economy but i'm trying to watch the footie

I'm not quite sure your claim is true, Rory!

Seems like quite a few Britons have sobered up to realize the consequences of their actions. Didja see the little vignette Queerbait was posting last night about the city of Cornwall? Evidently the city was quite a shithole before the EU. The EU paid for massive infrastructure upgrades and subsidies, but the good folk of Cornwall voted overwhelmingly "Leave". Why? Because they assumed the EU gravy train would continue regardless of their vote.

just pointing out how the leave decision affects us at the moment.

of course the uk (what's left of it later) will have to live with it; there's little else to do. we need to take stock, regroup, gradually try to rebuild industry enough to strengthen our economy so we can be more viable exporters, and much much more.

i didn't want to enter the common market, but since we did we've lost so much independence in trade that we were in a bad position to leave. maybe we will end up a stronger economy, in 20 years' time, but i know the majority of young voters voted remain and it'll be they who are most affected in the future by this decision.

it's a duchy - belongs to each successive prince of wales

wales got masses of money from the eu, but they largely opted to believe the monies not being paid into the eu would come to them. optimism's a wonderful thing. just ask Hull!

Well that changes EVERYTHING.

EVERYTHING, DAMMIT!





Thanks Mate

Lot's of debate. Check with me in twenty years and I will tell you how it worked out. What happens this week bears nothing to the eventual outcome.

Yikes. That's a "whoops".

just pointing out how the leave decision affects us at the moment.

Oh, that's fine. I was talking about the "I want my vote back!" crowd, which seems to be getting louder by the hour.

ah, that's just not gonna happen. it's done. online petitions can mean having to redebate something but we all know it's just noise for noise's sake.

For our American cousins, Cornwall is Britain's Appalachia.

Thank you for the context. Economically only? Or is inbreeding encouraged?

For our American cousins, Cornwall is Britain's Appalachia.

And the Duchy of Cornwall is the personal fief of the Prince of Wales. Since William the Conqueror, Dukedoms have been spread in small parcels across England to stop Dukes building their own independent Kingdoms in one place.

The Duke of Cornwall has never controlled the whole of the county of Cornwall. The Duchy has land in various counties.

We prefer cousins, not siblings.
