Nice diversion. But the point stands. If Scotlands really wants out of the UK, that is what will happen sooner or later, one way or another.

Yet they are still in the US...

They are a net contributor. If they are so independant, what is in it for them to stay in the US?

Washington has not forced Obamacare on them? Whashington has not forced same sex marriages on them?

Or build a wall. If Trump can build a wall at the Mexican border, surely Silicon Valley can build a wall at the Californian border?

No, Ward specifically referred to "the ordinary small people in the UK".
