I don't recall anyone in the EU saying it's not remotely a given. Care to share sources? I can pull up a few that contradict you but you already know that.
What you call basket case member states I call fellow Europeans. What a way to think.

"So Boris Johnson has to make sure he resolves Northern Ireland, so that he neuters the ability for Scotland to get independence, neuters the ability to for EU to use the populace of Scotland against the United Kingdom."
Neuters? Jesus Christ.
omfg lol.
I'll just say this. I've been in the States for over twenty years. My accent is exactly the same as the day I left Scotland. There comes a point in time though, where you get fed up having to repeat yourself. Over time you need to drop the slang and pick up the words that the people around you use.
I still feel weird saying parking lot but it makes life a lot simpler.
I'm Generation-X, kid. So, I can only assume you're butthurt because I called Osborne a piece of trash. So let me be even more clear about him:
If he was on fire and I had 100 gallons of water, you bet I'd try my best to drink it all.
To be fair, the unionists will always argue that it's never a good time. They'll always find an excuse. Starmer knows fine that if he supported another referendum, his career is over in England. Where it actually matters.
The polls are very consistent in the desire for a referendum. It shouldn't have anything to do with an election result.
We are neck deep in 'let's-try-to-delay-it-forever' territory.
Scotland is nothing more than a novelty item to Westminster.
He was asked on the Twitter feed of one of his vids how he voted. He said he didn't vote.
Not voting makes him just as culpable. It's a vote against Brexit that didn't happen because he's selfish.
State funded healthcare probably won't ever be a thing. I worked in the industry for four years. Granted, it was in the IT dept. but still, the healthcare system is an absolute monster that keeps a lot of people in a job.
There's also the big problem of universal healthcare being associated with communism and massive tax hikes.
I'm sick of hearing those idiots talking about how Scots want to break up the UK. If the UK breaks up after Scottish independence then that's on England, Wales and NI.
