The Seps know, and loathe, the fact that the Union with the English gives Scotland an economic stability it would lack if it were truly out in the world on its own so they seek to replace that union with one of a different kind. Union with the Brussels machine, as a very junior partner with little influence, would ensure "independent" Scotland would be anything but. But Brussels isn't London, and that's all that matters.

Anyone But England, as they say. How sad that there are people who want to take a taunt off the football terraces and actually apply it to their entire national future.

Nail hit on head methinks. What else could account for such irrational, illogical and destructive behaviour?
