That was actually a typo, but it's so apt, I figured I'd leave it.It appears that the Scots are once again heading towards insisting on independence. Except for:Trade. They want to be in the EU but have no trade border with England. Welfare. They want the whole UK to keep subsidising their dole and pensions and child benefit and tax credits. Passports. They want to leave the UK but keep UK passports.Foreign affairs. They want to be an independent country, but to have the support of British armed forces and diplomatic heft. https://mobile.twitter.com/BNHWalker/status/1610937983871377408I did actually do a double check when I first saw this, to make sure it wasn't a piss take. But no. That's the undependence that the Scots want. Quite embarrassing really.
Don't they also want to keep the £?
Be interesting for Doncaster... what with legally being a part of Scotland. Mind and boggle!!BobG

It's complex, but my main concern is how elite power structures are more emmeshed, harder to see, and so there is less real accountability and "democracy" as states are larger. Russia, China, USA, Brazil, and of course the EU all illustrate that well.
