They’ll just become a vassal state of the EU.

I suspect it’s the opposite of what you think. Scotland is infamously much more leftist than England. If it’s not too late due to the Muslim invasion, unshackling England from the Scottish millstone might give the English a fighting chance to get their country back

One of my favorite YouTube channels is the Unbiased Scottish Commentary, who always rags on England (”The cheats that they are!”)

The leader of the Labour Party in Scotland is a Muslim (Anas Sarwar).
And Glasgow is 8% Muslim.

So it looks like Scotland is no different in that regard.

Scotland won’t live within its means.

But talk is cheap, isn’t it...

They had a chance some years back. Nope, didn’t pass it. Not my kilt, not my bagpipe.

“…too many stupid haircuts in the penalty box…”

I’m not a soccer fan but I could spend all night listening to this stuff.

Again?
According to the Twelfth Doctor Who, Scotland was always demanding independence from every planet that they landed on.

If the UK broke up both Scotland and Wales would be economic basket cases. Both nationalist parties are very red, they make Labor and Starmer look like a gang of Adam Smith admirers. English, i.e. England would be in some ways be better off. They wouldn’t have to pay the welfare burden of both places.
