Have the Scots voted on the matter?
The Brits can make for the loss by picking up Ireland, which is actually discussing reuniting with NI into the commonwealth to avoid a hard border.
Let them go. The Scots can fend for themselves.

So the English go for a no-deal Brexit AND get rid of the lazy Scottish welfare deadbeats? BONUS! The English should be supportive of this...
They want immediate membership in the E.U.
They want immediate membership in the Eurozone.
They want their share of the U.K. sovereign debt forgiven.
Legally, none of these can happen.
They also wanted the U.K. to keep all of its Scotland based military bases in Scotland, and not move their troops, money, and jobs to England.
The path for Scotland from the protective embrace of the U.K. to the protective embrace of the E.U. requires five years in the wilderness as an orphan, with their own currency.
If you think Brexit is difficult, Scotexit is even harder.
I dunnno... I’ve seen Trainspotting. Socialism has made them a very pathetic lot, nothing like William Wallace. The fact is that independence is initially tough, and no one should soft-play that. It takes gumption to form an independent country, and everyone in that country has to lift themselves up by their bootstraps.
Ummm, they want independence from the UK, but want to tug their forelocks for Brussels?!
Boy, they sure don’t make Scots like they used to....
The Scottish National Party is on track to lose seats in the next Scottish Parliament election. They will probably form a minority government as the largest party, but will face a Unionist majority between Labour, the Lib Dems, and the Scottish Tories.
So this is a last gasp cheap shot by the SNP.
not gonna happen, most of Scotland like most of England is on the dole... they need the UK to maintain their socialist welfare state.
The Steele dossier constructed as a conspiracy to remove President Trump has British Royal family written all over it. Christopher Steele was an MI6 employee with ties to the Royals. Their influence over Europe and the Commonwealth has steadily been declining. With Scotland and Northern Ireland demanding independence, England will see more of their territory slip away. This is why they wanted Hillary to win the election because of her pro EU/NATO globalist agenda.
