Q.: has anyone benefitted from #brexit?
Well it seems that #vegetable growers in #Morroco have gained new/expanded market(s) in the UK... with the country rapidly rising to be the third (by value) exporter of veg to the UK (after Spain & the Netherlands)..... I suppose its an ill wind that blows no good
๐ Ans: Yes...the "U"K๐ฌ๐ง #SmallerEnglishEmpire is securely on a path to dissolution, and we all benefit from that!
It's the one-and-only benefit from #Brexit (and was entirely unintended).
+++
Next-Up: We do something else unbelievably stupid that accidentally abolishes the #monarchy...๐
The "U"K๐ฌ๐ง has to die - it wasn't ever democratically created.
All the bits can rejoin the #EU๐ช๐บ.
Sorted.

That's a thought. Respectfully not one I would support where nationalism is the cause to join a union founded in spite of it.
The problem isn't flags - it's the cultures that were never democratic that fly them. That's a huge problem. I'm sure I'm going to get flogged for this.
My cultural heritage is mixed in my family to see in 3 generations in my life and further as partnered. Part Indian, part Welsh, part Cornish and part English to love a Brasileiro...

๐ Escaping de-facto colonialism (rule from Westminster๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ) is NOT "nationalism".
@fencoul @ChrisMayLA6
Hmm...
'de-facto colonialism' isn't quite the case though, is it?
This is my point re 'nationalism' and flags.
How far back do we go to be a true Scot - whatever that is as Celts, Picts etc and not get on with making our World work?

I hate what the tories have turned the UK into. Just look at the issues with NI. How is an independent Scotland going to fair better.
Rid of the horrors in Westminster and bring people together instead of division?
