Excellent - at least Karl’s had a decent attempt.

A failed attempt, but at least one was made.

what about point no 7 Karl?

Obviously, yes, the Scotland-England border would become an EU border. It is realistic to expect that border to be dealt with precisely the same way as the north-south Irish border. In any case, that is an EU matter and would/will be designed and implemented by the EU - Scotland's awareness of it would be greater than in other EU countries as it is on the edge of Scotland.

Brexit has led to such things (Ireland and potentially Scotland)and, one way or other, it would/will be dealt with without much delay. The Irish version is a particularly sensitive one due to the history involved (past and up to the present), Scotland's would/will not involve that aspect and in that sense may be easier to implement. Scotland's would/will be a relatively straight forward copy of the rest, the way things are going perhaps not unlike the border between Finland and Russia rather than Greece and Turkey (there are far more sets of agreements in place between Turkey and the EU) - how often do people in France, Germany, Netherlands, etc. give thought to how they work while Finns, Greeks, etc. are no doubt more familiar with the practicalities ?

karl: "In any case, that is an EU matter and would/will be designed and implemented by the EU " - so why is Ireland any different in the eyes of the remoaners?

TTT have you ever sought professional advice about your chronic rudeness?

[ToraToraTora]

where have I been rude?

I wonder because the Scots leaving the UK affects all of us in one way or another whether we should all have our way in a referendum. Maybe one with three options
Scotland remains in UK
Scotland leaves no support/ no subsidies
Scotland stays in UK with further devolved powers including full financial independence no subsidy, but with revenue raising independence. (This option would give them a chance to find out if they can manage independently.)

I know it's not going to happen but it's no worse than some suggestions out there

Seems to me some highly questionable issues are generated in some folk's minds because some insist that an opinion held by a majority one side of some random border can be compared to the majority opinion on the other side and then claim the first batch is being ignored. The reality is that it is an individual's opinion that counts, not how the total can be batched up to support an erroneous picture.
