Scotland after Brexit - 4 threads into one

It doesn't have legs. For numerous reason.

As I keep saying.

hey if the EU wants a millstone let them have it.

Maybe that will work. However there would need to be full border controls between Scotland and England and passports for everyone crossing to be shown at all times.

Then all the saddos can move north of the border.

Still in the denial stage?

[vetran]

Then all the saddos can stay in other EU countries while wearing kilts and crying into their Jameson's how much they love Scotland.

The obvious problem they will face is that Scotland doesn't have a place in the EU; The United Kingdom does.

Still, if it makes them happy....

Then all the productive workers can move north of the border.

We in Scotland voted to remain in the EU while you voted out. Indyref2 will happen at some point and support for independence has never been higher.

The question on the ballot paper was do you want the UK to remain in the UK. And the majority of people in Scotland said they did.
This is a completely different question as to: "If Scotland was independent of the UK, would you want that independent Scotland to be in the EU?"
Yes there is a good chance the answer (for Scottish voters) is Yes, but it might not be, and falls far short, in my opinion, as a mandate for a new referendum.

In any case, the vote was for the UK as a whole. If you start cherry picking clusters of votes you start getting into absurdities - For example I believe the Orkney islands in Scotland voted to remain. Shouldn't they be given an independence referendum? And what about the Isle of Wight in England - independence for them? (OK they voted to leave I think).

It certainly snivels above its weight as a victim

And no thanks for the crumbs from the table.

We in Scotland voted to remain in the EU while you voted out. Indyref2 will happen at some point and support for independence has never been higher. The brakes are off any restraints to the most right wing Tory government in living memory, expect much more pain than austerity has delivered so far.

Suck up the pain as we leave austerity for greece like poverty.

It is true NI & Scotland obviously strongly want to be in the EU so over the next few months we should address
that. That doesn't necessarily mean wasting more money on a new referendum you had one recently.
