Even with Scotland’s relatively large 65+ population - the group least likely to back independence - the overall picture is clear.
Across the full voting population, current polling shows YES would win a referendum with almost 59% support.
Scotland has already moved on.

*cough* If you're gift shopping for anyone interested in how the world works, do consider these. Storm in a Teacup is all about the physics of everyday life and Blue Machine is all about how the ocean works - the water itself, which is the biggest story on Earth. Share the joy of nature & science!

"Britain" is not a country and while folks in England continue to delude themselves otherwise, Russia will continue to accurately assess that the United Kingdom is a weak link between Europe and the US. The ability to control the future begins with some honest reflection of past and present actions.
"There’s a bit of an obsession with Britain. We're a nuclear power, we're on the UN security council, and we have a relationship with Washington closer than any other European country. Brexit and our economic problems all play to this idea that the UK is a soft target."

You mean the theft of Scotland's publicly-owned water via the huge pipeline under the A74(M74) hasn't kept England's privatised water supplies in good shape?

This is how you do wash trading. All these companies are investing in each other paying each other bits of the same trillion dollars in order to make it look like they’re so close to AGI so investors will keep giving them money to lose.
This is also known as a Junkie’s promise.
