I'll tell you why the English have ignored the fact that Scotland voted remain.
It's because they're trying to subordinate the idea of Scotland to nominally the United Kingdom, but effectively to England.

The English dominate the United Kingdom in Parliament. The English have got a virtual monopoly on the government of the United Kingdom. They pretend they don't, but they do.
The thing is, Brexit is the only time the dominance of England over the United Kingdom has been tested.
And the English have quite evidently failed.
If there was any truth to the English illusion of the United Kingdom, they would have never imposed this English nationalist Brexit on Scotland.

And I don't think any previous government would have ever dreamed of doing this.
No. This is an outburst of English nationalism using the built-in dominance of England over Parliament to kick the other nations aside.
If the dominant member of a union behaves like this, then it's quite obvious that the union is fake. It's not a union with Scotland. It's an English occupation of Scotland
I think it's the stupidest thing the English have ever done. Not Brexit in itself. But this. This . . . this mad fuck. This total disregard of Scotland.
You've destroyed the union, you know. But not only that. it's going to keep going, eating through everything
And all because you took the political decision to disregard Scotland as a separate nation.
And that was the thing that did it.
