@UseYour2Neurons @JimQuirkesq @dearaunty @AdamJSchwarz So now you know that it costs Norway far more than the UK paid as a member.
What it didn't tell you was that, unlike the UK, the EU is a critical export market for Norway.

@Kevin21Clark @JimQuirkesq @dearaunty @AdamJSchwarz If you actually want to know the answer, why didn’t you ask Grok yourself?
English
Starmer announces that the UK is pursuing closer relations with the EU:
“Brexit did deep damage to our economy. And the opportunities to strengthen our security and cut the cost of living are simply too big to ignore. We want to be more ambitious.”

@Kevin21Clark @Douglas_Haribo @scotfax @JimQuirkesq @MarieClaire265 It's hard to pay attention with the glare coming of your big bald dome....now of you fuck

scotland has its own constitution it does indeed have to be updated in language , surprised you don’t know that 😱
Michael Tandino@albions012
@AngusBMacNeil The constitution of the UK is reserved to Parliament. Surprised you don't know that 🤔
English
@UseYour2Neurons @JimQuirkesq @dearaunty @AdamJSchwarz Is it? And how much does Norway pay for that?
English
@JimQuirkesq @dearaunty @AdamJSchwarz Thanks. Grok: "Norway has near-identical access to the EU Single Market via EEA (four freedoms, equal rules), but no decision-making vote, no Customs Union, and excludes agriculture/fisheries".
Thats a lot better than what the UK has right now.

@dafckia @A_Atkinson1962 @RonaldMcCallum1 @gavinpoints I could ask you how many countries you know of that have a fin services industry with AUM that's 5x the country's GDP.
But you'd need to do some research.
English
@Kevin21Clark @A_Atkinson1962 @RonaldMcCallum1 @gavinpoints What does 🤣🤣 The financial industry is multi national with branches all round the world.
English
So garages up and down Scotland have no fuel.. if only we had a refinery where we made pretty much all our own petrol!! Oh wait, we did but Westminster shut it down and now we fully relie on imports and the global supply chain! Westminster does not care about Scotland 🏴
English
@dafckia @A_Atkinson1962 @RonaldMcCallum1 @gavinpoints Scotland's finance industry has nothing to do with "branches".
English
@dafckia @A_Atkinson1962 @RonaldMcCallum1 @gavinpoints No
Fin services would move south because it has to remain in the UK.
English
@A_Atkinson1962 @RonaldMcCallum1 @gavinpoints Why? The last referendum the argument was by leaving the uk we would be leaving the EU so all financial services would move south. This time we would be joining the EU in some capacity so what's changed to make the financial sector now pick England over the EU?

@Douglas_Haribo @scotfax @world_bucks77 @JimQuirkesq @MarieClaire265 You don't seem to pay much attention to what is written in this thread either.

@scotfax @world_bucks77 @JimQuirkesq @MarieClaire265 I have no idea who or what ScotFax is and what's more I don't care.

@BrianSpanner1 I'm sure I'm not the only one who wonders why island communities keep electing SNP MSPs.
English
Honest.
This needs to happen.
Until the SNP incompetence touches everyone directly their nasty little ideology will prevail.

Eight CalMac ferries are out of action impacting ‘virtually every island’ i.stv.tv/3POogrp
English
@BlackIslePMD If your constituents return yet another SNP MSP, I'm afraid you can't complain.
English
Don't ever assume you've hit peak Central-Beltery, there's always another crest in the distance.
Jan Venegoor of Citylink@GaelicRoadSign
The obsession with ferries is fucking abysmal.
English
@vkgscotland1 @JohnStuartWilso Who needs a credible energy plan when we've got your windometer and firm grasp of electricity storage at scale.
English
@JohnStuartWilso Having lived in Scotland my whole life, I can confirm there are not too many days when the wind doesn’t blow, but just in case…I’m sure there are, or will be ways to store it. 😉
English
@xbasslichtie @scotfax @PMcauk @CollieTalking Moved on as in moving further away from objective reality, then yes, you've moved on.

It's apparently IMPOSSIBLE that energy bills would get more expensive under independence.
Who knew?
Andrew@xbasslichtie
@conor_matchett Well they will. If anything, its almost impossible to imagine a scenario where they would stay at the equivalent union price. Certainly no scenario where they would be more expensive.
English
@xbasslichtie @scotfax @PMcauk @CollieTalking But none of you have "moved on". You're still, in your various, fragmented manifestations, lying for indy. Pretending that there are "other routes" to independence, all on the back of a 35% vote share.
You are beyond delusional.
English
@Kevin21Clark @scotfax @PMcauk @CollieTalking Likewise referendums. There will never be another referendum. The British state only allowed one last time because they thought they would win by miles. They won't allow it again. It won't happen. We move on.

@xbasslichtie @scotfax @PMcauk @CollieTalking I stand corrected.
You are a serial liar and a delusional fantasist.
English
@scotfax @Kevin21Clark @PMcauk @CollieTalking What case for Indy? You're a hardcore yoon based in England. What sort of case would I possibly be interested in making to you? The case has been made. That stage is over, done. We all moved on years ago.
English
@Kevin21Clark @ammacj He’s such a bellend, that one. Can’t believe I’ve waited so long to block it 😂
English
Unimprovable example of alternative facts and nationalist brain rot here.
(CalMac themselves say the service is at breaking point just now. You can’t book a ferry to or from Islay, for instance, until April 17th. Great for businesses during the Easter holidays!)

@Kevin21Clark @scotfax @PMcauk @CollieTalking It was Alex Salmond that had to point out to the media that Sterling was a freely open currency, and could be used by anyone. Anyway, as you know, even though this would help keep England afloat, this hasnt been the plan for many years now. :)
English
@ammacj You said I could walk so I’m challenging that. So I travel to the terminal and….get to walk or cycle at the other end. You’re an SNP spad and can do one.
English
@xbasslichtie @scotfax @PMcauk @CollieTalking You don't understand the difference between using the pound and a currency union or are you just a serial liar? Which is it?
English
@Kevin21Clark @scotfax @PMcauk @CollieTalking Scotfax is a bit of a known troll. Sits down in England ducking, diving, hiding and running. As you said, it was made very clear. "Not Allowed" to use the pound.
