What really makes me laugh is that Sturgeon wants independence but wants to join the EU!  What sort of independence would that be?  Probably much less independent than remaining part of the truly independent UK, making trade deals directly with the rest of the world instead of hiding inside the dying protectionist corpse that the EU is becoming. 

 

They also reckon they're going to use the £ as currency, which is laughably ill-educated garbage.  No independent country has ever used another country's currency, for very good reasons.

 

The UK's EU referendum was short on facts, but the Scottish Independence one was just based on dreams that nobody had actually thought through in any detail.

 

Personally, I believe that the apparent uprising of independence in Scotland is more to do with the failure of the Labour party than anything else.
