Good day!!

Cameron's "agreement" had no legal value. No referendum in UK is binding on the government.

The idea that the government should be completely bound by a referendum that was *advertised* as advisory and non-binding, that had a razor-thin margin, and also was completely non-specific, would be a bad one even if one side hadn't systematically lied in the most gross and offensive fashion.

Imagine you said, "I'm tired of life," and your friends used that to throw you over a cliff, without letting you ever say anything again about it. That's what it's like.

If they were serious, they would have negotiated terms, and then put those terms to another referendum. But they simply wanted to tank the UK's economy, so they could buy up the remains of it.

Yes, the referendum was intended as a complete waste of time, but instead it lead to the UK shooting itself in the chest, and now it's bleeding out.

I agree that Scotland should be allowed to leave, and it's the height of hypocrisy to prevent them.
