What if a billionaire wanted Scotland to regain independence?
Sometimes billionaires get bored with having "amassing money" as their sole purpose in life. They start to think their success in this activity somehow entitles them to dip their toes into politics.

From a Scottish (and Welsh) perspective the "British state" and "England" are inseparable . In fact a large majority in England say they only identify as "British" (see 👇). This results from England's complete dominance of the union. #ScottishIndependence
