 Let's see what side the Scottish regiments will fight for...
The majority of the British Army is made up of only Scottish regiments Image
There’s going to be a bit of an unemployment issue if they cease being employees of her Majesty. Another complication is some of the regiments are only Scottish in name and a third is that many of their members are actually English these day. You don’t have to be Scottish to join.

The sort of unentangling we are going to have to undergo with the EU. Nationalism in all its forms stinks.
When talking about the military and the Union we shouldn't forget that Scotland houses the UK's nuclear arsenal of two submarines.
Bognor-Regis. Just sayin’

 The Irish question is far more pressing and prescient that the Scottish question.

Watch out for the Border Reivers Rum. Your area was a favourite target for the Kerrs.

What I have learned from watching lots of series on Netflix and Amazon: In Season 4, a problem that everyone thought was dealt with at the end of Season 1 returns and becomes the main focus of the whole season.

Boris now has a majority of one in commons.

Expect a GE shortly but on the other hand the Blond Scrotum has now every excuse why his policies have failed. Uncooperative EU and no majority in parliament. So a no-deal is not his fault.
