The fish woman and her SNP compatriots appear to yearn for Scottish independence yet, at the same time, EU membership. This makes no sense, as I cannot see them making a big profit from the EU handouts as we, and most Western European countries contribute far more than we get in financial 'grants'. Your excellent expression explains that very clearly.
I suppose they are driven by the fact that for centuries the Scots allied themselves with the French against the English.

HiBrexit was always going to be costly, I knew that when I voted to leave.
Unfortunately it is now going to more costly than it should have been due to the fact that Boris, David Davies and Liam Fox cannot even agree what sort of Brexit they want.
Scotland will do what Scotland will do.
The more immediate thing is Gibraltar, it makes absolutely no sense at all for them to remain with us after Brexit.
I can see them staying in the EU.

Oh well I suppose I did most of my higher education and training in England and perhaps I can cope?

Having said that, I'm the sort who will go back and edit just for the sake of replacing a full stop with a question mark.
I can't help it.
