2016, Scotland wanted to stay in the EU.
England voted no.
2017, Scotland wanted to stay in the Single Market. England voted to leave.
2019, Scotland was happy to have a referendum or stay in the Single Market.
England voted no.

'Team UK' sounds kind of hollow at this point.

Scotland had a referendum in 2014 and with a wave on support increasing they had more than a foot out of the door.

Then we had a referendum in 2016 where they said that if we left the EU, it would reopen the matter.

We voted knowing it would do that.

People wanted to go ahead with Brexit and now we all have to be prepared to live with the political consequences.

England had 3 votes on it, and 3 times they voted that they cared more about the sovereignty of the union than the actual union.

How messed up is that?

A theoretical political concept was more important to the English than the people in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

I don't remember a single English politician saying that maybe we should consider what was best for the union and that we should regain some perspective.

I don't remember one person in the media interviewing those politicians saying that they need to cut all this 'sovereignty' crap and start focusing on the real problems we were facing.
