Which delusional nonsense are you talking about? The Brexit form of Nationalism, where England's nationalism got to decide for the rest of the United kingdom. Or independent state form of Nationalism where each country within the UK can decide for itself.

Wales voted to leave

English immigrants in Wales voted leave you mean

No, Welsh people voted to leave - almost a million of them. Over a million Scots did the same. More people in each of London and the South East voted remain than both Wales and Scotland combined

By contrast, 1.5 million Londoners voted to leave.

Perhaps grow up a bit, stop relying on delusional bullshit about ā€˜colonists’ (as you put it in another comment) or your idiotic ā€˜no true Welshman’ and ā€˜every Englishman’ waffling and respect the fact that in a democracy, sometimes we don’t win and get what we want.

I’m going to politely suggest you reread what I actually wrote before telling me (or anyone else) to ā€œget fuckedā€.

Have another go.

Not a majority but 20% of Scots did

Meaningless.

u/dc_1984 Sep 15 '26

That's a million people

u/Shake_Speare_ Sep 16 '26

It's meaningless if they hold an independence referendum and less Scots vote remain. 20% is a trifling amount of opposition in any vote.

The fact you think only people who voted to leave the EU are also the only people who would vote remain now is funny as fuck.

u/Shake_Speare_ Sep 16 '26

You're a bit soft in the head but that's ok.

u/Frosty_Shame8876 Sep 16 '26

I know you went through a traumatic childhood it's ok! But that doesn't mean you should take that out on Reddit!

A classic case of projection, I'm sorry I goaded you now. You misunderstood the comment you replied to and as such, you were laughing at something I didn't say. It's ok, we all make mistakes.

It isn’t ā€˜meaningless’ when people are making claims of ā€œScotland/Wales/England voted Xā€.

None of the nations were uniform, and pluralities won out. Thats why the damn thing was as close as it was.

No English colonists voted to leave. Perhaps grow up a bit and understand the colonial nature of England:

This (incredibly flaky) bit of post-hoc ā€˜research’ from Dorling doesn’t actually substantiate your idiotic claim at all, and the fact you think it does is embarrassing. Also fun that Swansea is apparently an ā€˜English’ city and Carmarthenshire, Flintshire and the Rhondda are ā€˜English’ local authorities since they registered a leave vote, whereas Monmouthshire - actually on the border and historically very English - voted Remain.

Adding in the use of the term ā€˜colonists’ too is comedy gold. A sort of Poundland Glyndwr, trying to grievance monger his way through life.

Oh darling, your insults just strengthen the Welsh independence movement. Dismissing research into your countries activities and influence on others is cute. Yet you present zero return argument beyond ā€˜trust me bro’. Classic Englishman

u/Adr_LDN Sep 15 '26

You’re having to pretend anyone who didn’t vote a particular way in a referendum a decade ago isn’t Welsh, cupcake. That reeks of utter weakness and desperation. You clearly hate large parts of your own country.

It’s also incredibly funny to see you flail about ā€˜no argument’ here when the actual numbers from Welsh local authorities are presented, and your whining is completely demolished in one incredibly easy swoop.

You’re not a classic Welshman. Welsh folk are good people, and tend to do significantly less mewling and be rather cleverer than whatever you are.

You are actually mad.

Yes, the I don’t like the evidence so he/she must be ā€˜mad’ line.

u/Necessary-Nobody8138 Sep 15 '26

You’re actually quite nasty and haven’t said anything that warrants proof - other than you don’t like people from the West Midlands on holiday in Barmouth!
