I'm sorry that some of our neighbours don't like the English much but I don't think that is my problem so much as theirs. i don't bear them any ill will at all.
At the time of the Scottish referendum the EU stated that if Scotland left there was no guarantee that they would be able to remain in the EU. That was when Spain first started to make noises over a veto. We aren't dragging the Scots out of the EU in as much as they probably wouldn't be in the EU had they left the UK.
We all had a vote, we voted as one nation and we voted to leave the EU.
Scotland all had a vote, they voted as a country to stay in the Union and be one nation with the rest of us. I can't be any clearer than that.

I have no idea why the BIB is in your post........
Whether Scotland leave or stay doesn't really effect me much I just think it's quite unfair that them not getting back into the EU as a separate country was used as a threat in the first referendum but then a couple of years later they were dragged out anyway and you won't admit that's a legitimate reason for them to have another referendum
Northern Ireland leaving the EU will effect me and my country though
