He hasn't given up, he's only taken a side step. He'll be active in the background.

The Yes campaign were just as guilty of scaremongering and false assurances.

It is with regret that I have to give-up my long held belief in and support of the Union and support a call for Scottish independence.

This is obviously the next thing that will happen now and I can't see Scotland voting to stay.

They only have themselves to 'blame.'

They had their chance to break away from the UK 2 years ago -- so, now, them staying in the EU wouldn't have been an issue. They knew at the time, that the Brexit referendum was upcoming and that it was a calculated risk of them becoming 'locked in', so to speak.

Now that turn of events has actually come to pass, they don't like it. Short-sighted of their electorate, to say the least.

Scotland can't choose to stay in while the rest of the UK leaves, they would have to re-apply for EU membership and satisfy all the requirements. A condition of membership would certainly be the adoption of the Euro, making Scotland's dealings with their biggest market, the UK, trickier. Also, of course, a border would have to be established between England and Scotland, passports required too. I can imagine there would be a lot of one way traffic from Scotland to England were this to look on the cards.

As an Englander and English, I'm rooting for you. Of all the other 3 home nations, it's NI I identify with most. **** the proxy, arrogant Welsh and the Bales of this world.

(Oh, and **** Scotland too.......Oh wait. ).

Good luck!

You misread my point.

What I was saying was:

Should Scotland have won their independence 2 years ago (and, of course, assuming all ties would have been cut with the rest of the UK by now) then they'd have been free to do whatever they liked e.g. one, being to remain an EU member.

(I understand that they would have to renegotiate etc.)
