No, it really is. The Scottish independence referendum was
a landmark event, one that saw folks from Inverness to Inverurie take the time
to educate themselves about politics and economics. To give an example, the
precise nature of Scotland’s currency in a hypothetical post UK situation was a
subject of serious discussion and a matter of informed, reasonable, if those HM
Treasury papers are cast to one side for the shite they were/are, debate.
Faced with Brexit, the great and the good appeared to have looked
at what had happened in Scotland and what had won and chose the same tactic;
scare the bejezuz out the fuckahs in a (massively exaggerated way) in the hope
that something approaching rational debate would win. But, it didn’t because
the Brexit lot never took the time to educate themselves about anything. They already
had their bigoted prejudices and that was what counted.
So yeah, sorry England, Scotland set a standard you couldn’t
reach, one you didn’t even recognise and still refuse to acknowledge. Fail.
