Scottish "Independence" - Be careful what you wish for!

Nicola Sturgeon keeps grabbing the headlines with her calls for another Scottish "Independence" vote. The rallying cry of freedom has been loud since the people of England and Wales carried the vote to take Britain out of the EU because apparently the Scots don't want that, that would be a step too far!
You can see from the map below that Scotland had little to do with the decision to "Brexit"

If Sturgeon is to be believed a second independence vote will result in the Scottish people choosing to cut its ties to Britain.
So paradoxically they want freedom from Britain so they can be directly controlled by the unelected EU commission. That's priceless.
Now I don't blame the electorate for this I blame the SNP, they've got the population all fired up "Braveheart" style into thinking independence is freedom, well it won't be if you go on to join the EU, in fact it'll be the opposite.
It'll be the kind of freedom Greece are currently enjoying, fancy that do ya?
No of course you don't, who would?
Well apparently the SNP do, but that's not surprising because governments are designed to serve themselves. They don't give a monkeys what happens to the electorate as long as they're alright. And don't forget if/when the Scots vote out of Britain they will pretty much be a one party state which never ends well.
I don't suggest that Scotland stays tied to Britain, on the contrary I actively encourage them to leave as I would the Welsh and the Irish should they ever decide to go down that route. I despise big government and a reduction in the bureaucracy would be fantastic for all.
Be careful what you wish for because independence may not be the freedom you think it is.
