Breakfast Brexit Merge

Exactly. That was the reason it chose to remain part of the UK - the threat of having to apply for EU membership on their own. Now they're leaving the EU anyway, and the EU would probably be quite accommodating.

I think what scuppered it for IndyRef was not being able to come up with a believable answer on The Pound.

Might be a moot point now. Who would choose The Pound as their currency?

I thought remain would win with a very narrow margin. That's a long way from "I can't see it ever happening".

You got a 50/50 choice 100% wrong. It really doesn't get more categorical than that!

I think you're vastly over-simplifying the various elements of the Scottish referendum.

Weak pound = good for exports, more than compensating for the tariffs we'd have to pay under WTO rules. Sorted :-)
