Who cares, does anyone even think about Scotland at all during a normal day? Do they contribute anything at all even? Scotland is kinda like Hungary or Albania, you wouldnt miss them if they suddenly didnt exist.

I very occasionally think about Scotland but only because I had a great holiday with my pretty lady in Edinburgh and the whiskey was good

Can we trade Quebec for Scotland? It'll work out, the proximity to actual France would maybe get the acadians to realize how poo poo they are. Scotts already like Canada, they keep coming here.

Seeing how "UK" and "England" generally are considered exchangeable over here, I look forward for the news about Scotland leaving England.

do they still have the d&d thread where scottish marxists claim that independence will lead to a glorious marxist future because scotland votes marginally to the left of southern england, even though there's no indication that this is likely based on the last century of scottish electoral polling and the current SNP plan for scotland post-independence is literally to turn it into a corporate tax haven because i enjoyed that thread a lot

well at least catalonia is like 65% pro-independence and is going to have a referendum in three months, despite the spanish government declaring the referendum illegal and that it will not recognize the results. more exciting possibilities there than this poo poo

No. Imagine when a scotsman goes abroad and he tells everyone "I'm scottish" and everyone says "oh, like english but shitter". If scotland is in the UK he can just say "I'm british" and noone is any the wiser

Scotland is a pissant little country, and if it goes independent it's going to be torn a new rear end in a top hat by the banks, businesses, the EU and everyone else. At least the UK as a whole has existing relations, reputation and some genuine military and economic strength. Scotland will be starting from nothing, hoping in vain that their homegrown politicians will be better than westminister politicians (they won't), that they can fund a country on tourism and oil alone (you can't), and that 'everything will just fall into place' with business (who will leave in droves), the EU (who don't give a poo poo), credit rating (junk bonds ahoy) the pound (heh), and that their massive underestimates for the cost of forming a whole new country and all the institutions involved in that won't be TOO bad.
