    I think Brexit is a bit like McPake. Give it/him a chance, it's/he's new and everybody is learning. There are alternative views available!!
    We know how Brexit is going to be, an absolute disaster for everyone. When the UK finally introduces import controls, we're going to be fighting over the last bit of parmesan in Sainsburys. At the moment, Brexit is only hammering exporters, which regular people don't really do. But when the tories are forced to finally implement brexit properly, in Jan 2022, we will all feel it. The SNP aren't planning a referendum until at least summer 2022 anyway so you will have your wish regardless.

    I had thought that Brexit would take much longer to fully bed down. How does trying to jump back into Europe help all the exports that Scotland makes to England?

    I didn't think iScotland was allowed to join the EU, hard to keep track. Brexit won't bed down till the tories actually implement it, which at present is Jan 2022. Not forgetting the EU is currently taking legal action as the tories have unilaterally abandoned the NI protocol. And wait till people are stuck in airport queues for 5 hours, they dodged a bullet there with the covid restrictions.

    If there is a referendum and the pro independence supporters win a majority there is no guarantee that an independent Scotland will gain entry to the ‘promised land’ known as the EU.
    If an independent Scotland is able to join the EU io will be operating on a different time zone from the rest of the U.K. for a minimum of five months per year.

    Did UK have to comply with European time when it was in the EU?
