    It’s not a media blackout. They say it like every 2 years and it never happens. No one cares anymore unless they actually do it.

    You see anyone covering the swallows returning to Capistrano anymore? No. Because no one cares.

    There are so many inaccuracies and exaggerations with this meme, it’s absurd.

    Separatists within Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales reiterated their long-established desires to secede from the United Kingdom.

    This is pure political theater. Nothing of substance will come from this announcement! And to say there’s been a media blackout is ridiculous. It’s been all over the news.

    And no, it’s not really happening. Because not that many people want it to happen. Scotland recently had a referendum in this and wanted to stay as part of Britain and the UK.

      If OP is sanitation’s second account like I suspect, they’re viewing UK politics from a…Russian perspective.
