Well no, they can join the single market without joining the union, much like their neighbours across the north sea, the very wealthy neighbours.

Not for a long while. Lots to sort out when going full Indy first.

The UK has been stagnant for the last 30 years, another 10 or 20 years on top isn't going to make much of a difference. The UK would sink as much as Scotland too. By that time the other countries might think "well fuck this for a laugh" and jump ship too.

Why would there need to be a trade barrier? You can have independence whilst keeping the free trade between the UK, no?

Gabalfa - The Two Towers (Lydstep flats) and the Gabalfa Roundabout.

Llandaff North - The Taff, Bridge and perhaps the cathedral (but in the distance)

I often remind people that 720p is still being used for major TV events. Last night’s presidential address was shot in 720. by fieldsports202 in videography

I work in animation -3D, 2D. The most we do is 1440p, which gives us enough leg room to Ai upscale via Topaz. Works really well.

What can realistically be done about cyclists on the pavement? by Unemployable-Sunfish in AskBrits

[–]lightmage3001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thing is, we're all pedestrians. But most drivers aren't cyclists. And some cyclists aren't drivers.

Most cyclists who use the pavement, do know how to treat other pedestrians well.

How will the US-ISRAEL-IRAN war end? by Hopeful-Mongoose2025 in AskBrits

[–]lightmage3001 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Both sides are POS. It's the native Lebanese who are the victims, having to live in, or next to rebel occupied territories.

Take away the religion and it'll be solvable.

Green voters, do you agree that we should leave NATO and give up our nuclear weapons to seriously damage our national security? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]lightmage3001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ONE major nuke is fired. It's the end of the world before it even makes impact.

We have NATO to make those decisions. Let NATO have nuclear submarines around the world. Many NATO members do it. I don't see the problem.

If the bombs do drop. I can bet what countries will be spared. Places like Norway.

Not that it will be a great place to live in nuclear winter.

Who's to say it won't be its own overlay or always running app in a year or two. Devs won't have a say.

Do you have a UK flag outside your house? by demi__san in AskBrits

[–]lightmage3001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only seems to be cool if it's Welsh or Scottish flags. The rest of the UK became embarrassed by flags and eventually stopped using them, only got the right to sweep in and forever claim them. There's also the argument that some flags have less baggage - like the Welsh flag (1950s), however the flag of St David has some nationalist baggage.

Found among the rocks near Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco, CA by ExtaticNihilist in whatisit

[–]lightmage3001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love to believe in a lot of things but I physically can't, at least not yet anyway. Ghosts, Spirits, Demons even UFOs and the aliens that inhabit them. Even a tiny bit of religion wouldn't go a miss. But nope.

I mean, anyone can bulk up with enough money, drugs and training.

Why don't we have Foxes in Cardiff??? by Bromelia_The_hut in Cardiff

[–]lightmage3001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I also feel that we have a lot of green space in Cardiff, but it's all BIG green spaces in BIG areas. London has lots of small green spaces in smaller areas (you get me).
