It's quite possible Nothern Ireland will want to quit UK too, at least from what I've heard - apparently one of major politicians said something like "London just lost it's right to control our territories". The voters in NIR also choose to remain un EU.

Yeah, that's exactly it. I want the end of the EU so France can finally annex the Val d'Aoste because we all know the UE is really the only thing stopping it at the moment.

 

Peace made the EU possible, not the other way around. We are too old, too confortable and our economies are too mutualy linterconnected for any war to even happen between western european countries. 

 

I simply want to get rid of that extra layer of bureaucratic nightmare and the kleptocracts that go with it (we have plenty at home allready, so no thanks). That's it.

"A new independence referendum is now highly likely", according to the Scottish first minister :)

 

It'd be awesome to have Flower of Scotland in all sports events, that would immediatly become one of the top-5 anthems in my list :p

Idiots here in the Netherlands are already calling for "Nexit" :facepalm:

 

Dear Lord, let's just wait at least 3-4 years to see the actual consequences for the UK, because everything is mostly speculation so far. I seriously hope our politics won't make these stupid emotionally based decisions and simply stays patient for a couple of years. 

 

If not, a "Nexit" referendum would only be won by people who can not think much more than "Hur dur all muslims are terrorists close the borders OMG!!!" and that's not exactly good.

I am glad that most british people voted for leave, GB has never really been part of the EU, just like Russia or Turkey dont belong in the EU, now british people finally decided to leave. Some interesting questions are still to answer:

Will Scotland remain in the EU?

Will we again have borders between Ireland and Northern Ireland?

Who will replace Cameron as PM? I guess it will (sadly) be Johnson, but it would be great to see Farage as new PM. Maybe we will have elections again and UKIP will win them. I think it will be difficult for the Conservative Party to agree on someon as opportunistic as Johnson as new PM.

Where will british people now go for holidays? Spain will probably now be too expensive for many british people. I think Manchester or Birmingham are very beautiful places too.

Will Franlfurt become the new financial centre of Europe?

When will GB actually exit the EU?

 

Its gonna be really interesting to see how GB will do without the EU. Switzerland for example is doing just fine and i think GB will also be fine without the EU.

 

Farage? Really? What would he do as a PM now that UK won't have the EU to blame anymore. I am sadly also guessing for Johnson, but he is still a pretty controversial guy. 

But it will surely be interesting to see how Scotland (and even Northern Ireland) will react to this. Both show a majority for staying in the EU, and it doesn't seem too unlikely that at least Scotland will try to get another referendum, where leaving EU might be enough for it to tip.

And when? It will most likely take at least 2 years and the official work will only begin with the new PM. I'm guessing 2020, but it's not much of a qualified guess.

It is interesting to see today people on social media and in general that preach equality of people, everyone should have the same rights being "those stupid, uneducated small town people ruined the country". How things change when it is not in your favour.:d

    • Two passings to mention.   Uljana Semjonova  age 73.  Twice a gold medalist in basketball for   in 1976 and 1980.  Her height was listed between 2.10 to 2.13 m.  She is the tallest woman ever to win an Olympic gold medal.   Jim Hartung   age 65.  He was a member of the US gymnastics team that won the gold medal in 1984.
    • Worth to add, if Klaudia Adamek will qualify after all, she will become first Polish athlete who did compete in both Summer and Winter Olympics.
    • Linda Weiszewski and Klaudia Adamek will compete in this week in both European and World Cup to save their place in Olympics and make a debut for Poland in womens events, since they are now last among qualifiers as far as I know, since Jamaica got second quota in 2 womens event yesterday.
    • And I missed that  Andžāne is still vulnerable; seven best scores total only 484  but 7th is a 28 so should be able to improve as last two results were both 110 points worth
    • Broke down some numbers of what is still in doubt: For 3 sleds men and women are done. For two sleds there is no competition left in men's (  doesn't enter a WC race and secures two?) but in women's its  Erlacher vs  Channel and Erlacher needs to finish probably four positions ahead in final WC race.   For one sled, in men's, Takahashi or  Yaw will have to enter a EC or WC race for the first time this year, or it is over. Even if they do they have to gain about 50 points over their current 7th best result, so they would need to score about 100. So men's probably done, unless  Buff does not compete again, even then he could still make it.   The women's final few placements could be chaotic and will really depend on who decides to race where on the final weekend. Looking at current 7 best results  Schmied has 492,  Johansen has 493,   Delka has 524, and  Burger has 538. For Delka to miss out then the lower two need to both finish top 20 in a WC or I think top 7 in a EC. They both have a 7th best score of 36 they have to improve on, and who knows if Delka will race one more time or not.
    • will have 5 representatives in Luge at the 2026 Olympics.      Jozef Ninis (Top pic) in the M Singles will compete at his 6th consecutive WOG !!! He debuted in Torino 2006 to close the circle in another Italian resort in 2026, by this he set the new Slovak Winter Olympic record of participation and tie the all time one with Erik Vlček competing at 6 games in Sprint Canoeing as well.   The remaining quartet (Pic 2) will debut at the Olympics, all still Juniors Christián Bosman & Bruno Mick in the M Doubles and still schoolgirls Viktória Praxová & Desana Špitzová in the olympic premiere of the W Doubles     Must also be said, that we were quite unlucky in this qualifiers periode, Marián Skupek missed the second M Singles quota by 1 point and ended first non-qualified athlete and the experienced doubles Vaverčák/Zmij which was in clear qualifying position ended the season after Vaverčák injured his knee in the training before the Sigulda race 2 weeks ago   Also for the first time no W Singles participation for us meaning also obviously no participation in the Mixed Relay competition for the first time as well   Team (Updated as of 12th January 2026) 40 Athletes (30 M + 10 W)    
    • Hypothetically she could meet the minimum standards still with a high placement in the NAC event tomorrow. Seems unlikely to me, but still possible.
