... when Scotland, with its vast oil wealth, impressive history of contributions to science and medicine, and geographic importance, decides to stay in the EU.

And the Good Friday Agreements. These parochial minds are leading their land to decades of instability. The real fault of the West, in my opinion, is the failure to appreciate stability and the institutions that make stability possible.
As the song goes, “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”.

Usually with cries of PROJECT FEAR. Essentially we have a large proportion of the population going round with their fingers in their ears going la-la-la I can't hear you.

I'm firmly on the unionist side of the argument, but these idiots need to understand that the United Kingdom is not a one way relationship. Until we deal with these delusional fools we won't be able to tackle Scottish nationalism. Essentially we on the unionist side need to sort ourselves out before we even think about lecturing the SNP.

Similar story with Northern Ireland, not helped by the relationship between the government and the DUP

Or what about John Smith?

The accident of a few UK party leaders' birth has nothing to do with what sort of democratic deal Scotland has or has not had. That assertion is certainly ridiculous. As you'd know if you had any background knowledge of Brown's ardent campaigning for the Union during the first indyref and since then, and the hollow promises of devolution-plus he proclaimed with no authority. At the next general election, Labour was roundly rejected at the polls in Scotland - reduced to one seat. That didn't happen without good reason. As for Smith and Blair, Labour had to be dragged by the nose to very grudgingly eventually allow a Scottish Assembly. The powers of that assembly are under threat from a number of the current Tory leadership contenders.

But since the last time you steamed in here full of opinions you didn't bother sticking around to respond to those who replied to you, it's probably a fool's errand to bother to engage with you.

Brexit is a Sassenach dream that will drag Scotland and Ulster out of Europe and into an uncertain political and economic mess. It is time to for the people of Scotland and Ulster to remember they are a distinct people from the Sassanachs. The choice is whether to remain a part of Europe or knuckle under the Westminster.

Scotland and Ulster should leave the UK and form a new Celtic nation.
