scotland has less of an industry than england and while i morally support the independence movement its not a good idea. scotland gets so much money out of england in the current situation and has pretty decent autonomy via the devolved government (far more than wales) and its cause they continually threaten to secede. and what are they going to do, join the EU? and be forced on the euro and have to implement harsh austerity for twenty years to join?

yup basically this

the only way it could be feasible is if both NI and scotland were to secede and join ireland in some kind of gaelic union, but i dont really see ROI being keen on that especially given the current shitheads that formed a government in dáil

plus, as dumb as brexit is, for actual working class it is at minimum a wash, amounting to an exit from a largely neoliberal trade venture.

making food more expensive when there's less food security in the UK than at any point since there was rationing won't impact the working class?

Scotland would at least get their own resource rights over their chunk of the North Sea, which includes some oil.

Which is why London would fight tooth and nail for it to never happen.

I'm pretty sure holding a two hour rally tell your supporters that the election was illegitimate and then telling them to march on the capitol is an actual coup attempt but what do I know.

There's a reason they keep yelling "this is our house," they have an opinion on who America is and it isn't people like you, me, or anyone not in that crowd.

yes they are and they also strongly believe that they are the only kind of person allowed to be a "real american." they can successfully occupy government buildings while armed with little to no resistance from the state itself and have attempted to overthrow both state and federal government positions. just because they're dumb doesn't mean they're harmless
