I don't want to see the break-up of the UK, I just see it as a natural knock-on effect of the hard Brexit we ended up with. Had it been a Brexit that reflected the closeness of the vote, that respected that Scotland and NI each had strong support to remain, i.e. a softer Norway-style deal where we remained in the Single Market, then I don't think we would be having this discussion. In the run-up to the 2014 Indy Ref a big deal was made by the No campaign that Scotland was stronger in the Union because we were in the EU, but that's been taken away, so I fully understand why a majority would now want to break away... ETA: NI is a different situation, I've always believed that eventually it would become united with Ireland, but Brexit has speeded up that process...
