Has any nation ever regretted being independent ?

Incredibly the Scots are always getting the "you will regret it" treatment. There's propaganda and downright lies and I know which side the British establishment err towards.

I have no idea if any other nations regret it but in reality there have been very few western economies that have achieved independence in our lifetimes.  That "you will regret it" line is what we are hearing from the EU regarding Brexit, is that propaganda as well??  All sides in these referendum, elections etc will spin their opinions to their favor, which yes includes downright lies or fabrication to suit a message, again we see this from all sides at some point.

See this behaviour from all sides? Yes up to a point but up here in Scotland, before the referendum vote, the months n months of blanket anti Scottish/Scot indy propaganda from English unionist parties and media who hardly ever crossed the border 'in their scooby' was nothing short of an obscenity, an absolute abuse of true democratic values full of the biggest load of shit you could ever witness and I certainly apply the same criticism of the whole EU referendum process and result - an absolute f###### disgrace instigated predominantly by English nationalist shit heids who somehow got away with the biggest con in British political history and it has polarised the people within the country beyond belief!!!! Don't ever bang on about true democratic values and beliefs in this divided country - it's absolute pish!!! The UK is riddled full of the most shameless people in politics with no honour attached to them whatsoever!!! Scottish politics has been riddled with certain unionists who I could 'tar with the same brush' and thank god these people are not in power at Holyrood!! Rant over!
