Pre-Brexit, I described to an elderly lady/supporter from Cornwall how much I love the UK & truly felt at home there, expecting her to be pleased about the praise. Instead, she said (somewhat coolly) that she's no problem with that provided I leave when told to. I though of that when I read this.

Maybe the real reason for this sudden surge in anti-Scottish rhetoric is that the UK is failing at every level. Support for independence is rising, not because of some grand conspiracy, but because Scotland is looking for a way out of a broken system. Short one minute read 👇

Totally agree. Also British Isolationism is reinforced by News and Broadcast Media not covering European Stories and issues. If a flea farts in Texas then British TV cover it...yet so many European stories not covered every day. Is it to prevent unwanted comparison?
