That’s fine by me. If a population of people vote to leave then that should be the right and I don’t think anyone should be able to stop them.
Orexit? Orkexit? It’s not a good look for the country then, if these territories are trying to flee!
Property prices in Orkney are about to rapidly shoot up 😁
Let them do it. Let Cornwall and the North secede too. Don’t let Scotland get independence though because it’s funny to hear them screech about it and in any case Scotland’s laws are dreadful, we need to save them from themselves.
I wonder if the threat of leaving the UK is a way to get more funding.
They’ll soon stop when they see the price of alcohol.
Even if they do vote to become a territory of Norway, would Norway want Orkney?
Well the council doesn’t have any authority to influence constitutional matters, so they are wasting their time!
I wonder what the SNP spokesperson has to say about this
This sounds like a Stoneybridge Town Council sketch.
Happy to draw a big line across the middle of England and the northern half join Scotland, who can rejoin the EU because the southern half don’t give a toss about anyone above it.
Great stuff… can my council vote to leave as well? Nine of us wanted Brexit… if the Orkneys can go, why not the rest of us?
This is complete clickbait. The article bears no resemblance to the headline.
What it actually says is that one councillor wants the council to carry out a study into the future of the islands’ economy and funding and as part of that:
“Mr Stockan also suggests that the council should investigate how Orkney could secure a ‘Nordic connection’ with Denmark. Norway or Iceland”
That’s it.
No one is suggesting that Norway annexes the Orkneys or that that is even remotely feasible or likely.
