I voted for Scottish Independence in 2014, and still support it—in principle.
And I voted against Brexit in 2016—but it was rammed down Scotland's throat against the will of the people.
The problem now is that thanks to Brexit, any conceivable Scexit would now be an even worse shit-show than Brexit—we already lost our biggest trading partner once!
So, reluctantly, I have to move my position on Scexit to "not yet".
We need to restructure the UK or get the UK into the EU on new terms first.
