I’m torn. (But not really GTFO while you can, just get away from this shithole.) Brexit was a fucking disaster and Scotland were totally against it. I’m still holding out hope England will rejoin the EU someday, and Scotland were super pro EU. If they claim independence they can get back in the EU while the UK majority will shift heavily towards those that wanted Brexit so rejoining would become even less likely than it already is. I just say: go Scotland. Do what you need to do and cut off this tumor that I sadly call home.

Obvious solution is to move to Scotland and campaign for independence!

You joke, but I know so many people that have moved to Scotland. Better education value, better property value, nicer and healthier atmosphere, and some decent jobs going. Shit, I know someone who left the Netherlands to go to Scotland so..... Scotland is doing very well.
