As recently as the start of this century (bizarre as that sounds typing it out), it was seen as a bit of fringe lunacy - the equivalent of independence for Cornwall or UKIP’s desire to leave the EU. It’s pretty remarkable that it’s already now seen as a normal position. It now only seems to be fringe weirdos on the BritNat side who doggedly try and paint all independence supporters as evil separatists and unwashed, untermensch loonies. The irony is that that just makes UK nationalism - especially in light of its demonstrably separatist Brexit - look out of touch with modern Scotland, and desperate to turn back the clock to a time when Jocks knew their place and questioned nothing.

An awful lot of effort is expended to make the idea seem like extremism. 

A favourite is the line we want to "break up our country" which is laughable because in order for it to be "ours" we'd be able to influence it by means other than giving £3m to the conservative party and finally demolishing the last bits of the empire would do a huge service for the human race. It's a nonsense, a horrible cunty nonsense of a way to govern anyone.

Watch their brains melt and the defence mechanism of denial kick in when you point out that the UK already broke up in the 1920s, and that they surely mean Scottish independence would just further aid the dissolution. The reaction to any mention of this is usually…

Wanting to partition our unitary nation-state and using the justification that Scotland is a hang-over of England's imperial past is extremism.  And ignorant extremism at that.

Happy to partition Ireland though, aren't you?

I have many thousands of posts on here yet have said very little about Ireland though I do have a certain fondness for both the Orange Order and the Irish rugby team.  Both of which are, of course, whole-island organisations.

So.... Would you be happy to see a United Ireland?

Partition is something very different, something very different which Britain did to India, Ireland and Palestine. The border exists. This is just deciding who governs on our side of it. People who live here or people who do not.

Now off with you to the drinks cabinet under the sink to drown your sorrows in bleach based disenfectant and ponder the knowledge that Great Britain will soon be a historical term, only used by embarrassing drunk old racists who still say things like Rhodesia, Bombay and Rangers.

It isn't.  We're one nation as created in 1707 and if you slough off a part of it then it's partition.

Not that I'd expect you to understand this.

Of course!  The two parts belong together.  As Mary McAleese said at an Orange lodge in County Cavan, "It is possible to be both Irish and British, possible to be both Orange and Irish".

Do you mean wanting to further partition our nation state? The UK has already partitioned itself. If you’re against partition, you must wish Northern Ireland to be reunited with Ireland? If so, then you’re the one keen to break up the UK (in addition to being a racist, an Islamophobe, and an eager proponent of alt-right extremism, which we already knew about).

If we're "one nation". Then why is this place called Scotland with it's own national flag? Wouldn't they have just done away with these names and flags?

That we are one nation is beyond dispute.  As it said in the AoU, "That the Two Kingdoms of Scotland and England shall upon the first day of May next ensuing the date hereof and forever after be United into One Kingdom by the Name of Great Britain."

So you want to further break up the UK? Bit odd to condemn others for wanting to further break up the UK.

I haven't, of course, said that but then that has never stopped you making up shite.

Thousands of pro-UK posts and “very little about Ireland” is par for the course for Little Britons, who cry in horror about the breaking up the UK whilst being emotionally unable to deal with the reality that the UK broke up decades ago. As for having a fondness for a loyalist organisation, that’s really no surprise given some of the extremist, far-right loons you’ve been caught championing in the past.

You didn't answer my question. Why are we still called Scotland? Why is there still a place called England, Northern Ireland and Wales with their own national flags? Wouldn't there simply be one flag and one name if we were simply one nation?

A political union between kingdoms doesn't equate to a single nation state.

We ARE one nation.  I have no idea why you're even disputing this.  Having different regional flags, names and laws doesn't change that.

Are you at the stage of forgetting what you’ve said minutes before, now? We know you’ve conveniently forgotten that you were caught sharing Tweets from alt-right extremists so objectionable that they were banned from Twitter - but this is a new low.
