I mean, it was only a consultative referendum anyway
It’s not like they would have actually been allowed to secede
If only something happened two years later that seriously changed the narrative around independence
Goomba fallacy

“We voted against our independence?”
UK in 2014 : Leaving us means leaving the EU, so if you want to stay in the EU you have to stay with us, or else I’ll make sure you never come back.
UK in 2016 : So funny story, we are going to leave the EU but you are still stuck with us so suck it up.
Their mistake was to believe in the Perfide Albion’s words.
We didn’t blow it at all. I personally did a lot of work to ensure we got the good choice. Unfortunately, morons keep electing corrupt nationalists.
Classic case of online vs reality. CyberNats are probably one of the most vocal and unhinged English-speaking communities online. Actual Scots are pretty normal, but with an attitude towards England that’s basically identical to what English northerners have towards the South East.
Ask a nationalist exactly what their plans are for a currency or defence policy.
Paddy, you of all people should understand that Barry doesn’t like giving up his land. He will use any tactic he can to hang onto it, like when he lied and said the only way we could stay in the EU was to vote no.
A bit of reality:
Its because you get the minorities looking for validation online. The rest find in in real life instead.
Yup, they had their chance and _voted_ (wrong).
You had your change and actually blew it quite a lot of times.
I was at vacation there in 2014, almost every one under 50 Said they will Vote yes…. Problem ist more than 50% of Population is over 50, so they voted No. Because all over Europe ITS the same Problem, old fucks ruining lives from Younger people
18th September 2014 – The day we collectively shat it, pissed away a chance to do something different, and shackled us to ten more years of inept of horrendous tory rule.
I’m happily married, but if I were single, my dating-profile would say “No Tories or Nawbags”
Their fault for wanting to unite in the first place
Can’t you just William Wallace the shit out of them now? The Scouses will be shitfaced at the pub watching the match, the Mancs will be complaining about Piccadilly Gardens somewhere, no one actually cares about Birmingham, and London…. we all know they’re not exactly fighters!
Because Brittards promised them they wouldn’t vote for Brexit!
How would an army work? No fuckin way would Whitehall allow another army on this island.
That was before brexit.
Good job they don’t give England the vote. Scotland would be on their own.
Turks say that about Cyprus too, “oh they refused a peace deal, they must not want it!”
When in reality it was a shity fucking deal that was only a benefit to Turkey. There should be a word for this kind of bullshit, there probably is but I can’t think of it.
I remember that Scottish membership in the EU was a subject of discussion and of course the EU does not side with separatists (the Catalans being another example). The EU specifically said they’d have to wait in line like everyone else if they become independent. This may have been a factor for them to remain in the UK. Couple years later they got shafted by the English.
Of Scotland becomes independent from the UK they will just have to become dependent on someone else. Why can’t we just get alooong.
