even more harmful and we have seen some of the Indy supporters spout the same nonsense about a British border being seamless as the DUP & ERG said about the Irish Border. However, the anger at Scotland being forced out of the EU without a deal "against its will", may be 2/

In a deal situation the economic effect of a British Border is much less and even with less anger against Westminster, it becomes easier for the SNP to argue for independence.
Again a win. 3/
