I understand Scottish nationalism perfectly well! Yes, Sturgeon is left-wing, socially liberal & pro immigration; but these are ultimately epiphenomenal details. What truly motivates her is a very simple principle: she wants to TAKE BACK CONTROL

This was a very telling moment in the indyref. Yes, all things being equal, Sturgeon would prefer to be in the EU; but it's never been the core of her political being. scotsman.com/news/politics/…
Anyway, because life is too short to argue with people offended by having the obvious points of comparison between the Scottish & Brexit referendums pointed out to them, & also I have too much work to do to get into arguments on Twitter, I will leave it there!
Indeed! (And there I really will leave it.)
