I wonder how long it will be before Scotland becomes an independent European country, and Northern Ireland becomes a part of European united Ireland.

When these events happen, if not before, some of the people who voted for Brexit will be sorry lonely England is not united any more.

nanna8 - 1707 was the union of parliaments, 1603 was the union of the crowns. So only 300 years, not 400.

And before that there had been a Franco-Scottish Alliance since 1295. 400 years. So old alliances can be dissolved. smile
