So you want the Brexit referendum overturned just because you don't like it.
AND, you want Scotland to be pulled out of the UK without even bothering to ask the Scottish people whether or not that's what they want.
You're not much of a democratic, are you?
Go ahead. Brexit with no deal. That means that others can exit your union without your leave. What would you do? March on Scotland? What a surprise if the Europeans send troops on to your island to protect the Scots from English agression.

I think that I'll make a movie!

Well, that's not true. They would have to have a referendum and vote to do so in that referendum. If the Scots were able to withdraw unilaterally from the UK then why haven't their nationalist government - which is declining rapidly in the polls - done it yet? Why didn't they do it in 2014 instead of hosting a referendum?

What would you do? March on Scotland?

No. I'd just say: "Goodbye, you mugs. You're leaving a union with which you do two-thirds of your trade to join one with which you do only 15% of your trade. Good luck, you f*cking stupid muppets."

Take another referendum post-Brexit and see if their nationalism is still in "free fall".

If Sturgeon wants one she can have one.

But considering she was in London yesterday campaigning to have Brexit overturned, then the British government would be perfectly justified, in the event of the Scots voting to leave the UK, to just simply ignore it.

And there's nothing Sturgeon would then be able to do about it. She could hardly cry: "The British government are a bunch of undemocratic wankers who overturned the vote to leave the UK!"

What if a Scottish independence referendum yields a "yes" and pissed-off European countries recognise an indeoendant Scotland ?

Then so what?

The EU didn't recognise an independent Catalonia, so why would it recognise an independent Scotland? And, even if it did, but the UK just ignores the referendum, what are the the EU going to do against the most powerful military in Europe? The Uk would just tell the EU to f*ck off.

Your military is withering away almost as fast as ours is. Wrong tense.

Are you going to stop being a crybaby snowflake butthurt little unterjocken anytime soon ?
Cause it's too funny to watch you whine and bitch and scream about this.
About what, Brexit?

Not whining, just pointing out to the Brit that everything is divisible, including Britain.
