Most of Europe, Australia, Canada and other places have had this for years. Scotland's scheme was good and would have worked. WM simply couldn't bear the idea of Scotland being more progressive and advanced than England. That's it. No other practical, financial or ideological argument exists.

Definitely a thing. I get motion sickness quite easily. EVs are much worse. I put it down to "full torque from zero revs" and the relative jerkiness that this can mean from folk who like to use their accelerator pedals a lot. Interestingly, Mercedes at least seem to have designed for this /-

This "union" only ever makes Scotland poorer, our vast resources sold for the benefit of WM, Scots kept ignorant about the wealth of their country being exploited. Scots democratic choices ignored time & time again It's time we regained our independence & made our own decisions #ScottishIndependence
