I'll add that you listen to the consistent comments of Ian Blackford, the SNP leader at Westminster, SCO before continuing with an implicit message that you don't actually wanna see Scotland being given that special treatment anyway because "everybody is in the same 'better together' boat"!!! Aye! That'll be right but that's your opinion!!
I notice the "region" thing being used more and more in relation to brexit. Its not like people have forgotten overnight what a nation actually is (and Scotland's sense of nationhood stems from it being an independent state for over 600 years before it voluntarily went into a union with England) it's used to advance a political point.
Britain's sense of itself is England's sense of itself. Regional celtic types may have other outlying fringe notions colouring this essential English identity but they are not material and can be dismissed and told to mind their own business easily enough.
Brexit will end up destroying the UK of GB&NI precisely because it demands a single identity and the UK only holds together because of the few nods it has managed to make to our deep differences.
Still 4,000 + posts by your good self does suggest a humour bypass .
