"I'm surprised that Scotland and Northern Ireland haven't decided to become a state independent of England, and asked to stay in the EU"
There were a few of us hoping the Scots might. Mostly because for all the complaining about England, England actually pays for Scotland to live as it does. Without England the Scots have a huge deficit and would have to apply to be the piddly little guy of the EU (which would be rejected for political and legitimate joining requirement reasons) instead of an actually influential part of the UK.
Personally I was wondering how long Scotland could tolerate being knocked about and run down as a tiny desperate member of the EU instead of their much better position in the UK.
