No, no joke.

In the last Scottish nationalist movement, which lost, btw, the terms were barely anything that could be called real “independence”. Sure, the supporters used that term, but I think they were just being sentimental towards that word. They were not willing to separate from the Pound or from any other really important arrangement, like defense forces.

If Scotland wants to be a truly sovereign nation it would have to enforce its border with England, which the xenophobic English would require anyway as the EU Scotland would be open up to all sorts of nasty people from eastern Europe and beyond.
