MSPs have backed Nicola Sturgeon's calls for a second Scottish independence referendum later this year in a vote at Holyrood.

The Scottish parliament passed a motion demanding that Boris Johnson allow another referendum on Scotland's place in the UK, pointing to Brexit as a "material change in circumstances" since the 2014 vote.

The motion, backed by 64 votes to 54, now calls on the UK government to "reach an agreement with the Scottish government on such a referendum taking place on a date and in a manner determined by the Scottish Parliament".

Well, the Brexit really didn't happen overnight, like the hard Brexit would have, now there's the transition period going on and who knows how fucking long this is going to last. December 31st they say, but let's see.

From the BBC. I bolded the the funny part.

The transition (sometimes called the implementation period) is due to last until 31 December 2020.

During this period, the UK will remain in both the EU customs union and single market.

That means, until the transition ends, most things will stay the same. This includes:

  • Travelling to and from the EU (including the rules around driving licences and pet passports)
  • Freedom of movement (the right to live and work in the EU and vice versa)
  • UK-EU trade, which will continue without any extra charges or checks being introduced

Now transition has begun the UK will automatically lose its membership of the EU's political institutions, including the European Parliament and European Commission.

So, while the UK will no longer have any voting rights, it will need to follow EU rules. The European Court of Justice will also continue to have the final say over any legal disputes.

I honestly can't wait to afford to visit England.

Even if I can't go there, I just like knowing I can afford it.

There are a plethora of nicer countries in Europe to visit ?

Lucky for you the people of England just voted to make it much, much more affordable.

Yes, what a nice idea. The worst corona situation in Europe and unknown status after the Brexit. At least there are the weather and food, right?

Get you a lovely tikka masala on a rainy night in Stoke and see if you don't fall in love all over again, innit.
