    Don't believe it. Trying to tell my elderly mother at the airport she'll be standing in 'that queue' in a few years time instead of just walking through - she doesn't understand why.

    Even still Scotland (and for that matter I've very sure the UK) cannot afford the EU fees that Norway and the Swiss pay to trade with the EU.

        But it's too much for you to return and share their pain. Much better to whinge from afar...

          Just blame the Bastard English Bastards. I'm sure she'll get the message...

              Better to have the 2nd referendum and get it over with, when the overwhelming NO vote will leave her without a leg to stand on. But not until after Brexit or she'll only claim there are grounds for another one once the details of the deal are finally known to be unpalatable to Scots.

                  Can't they just take £350 million per week from the NHS and spend it on an EU single market access agreement?

                      Hard border with England would be tough from a trade perspective, even if Scotland remained in the Common Travel Area for movement of people.
