re: Those interested in UK politics: history could be made today in Northern England

I think Scotland will be independent sooner than later.

I remember watching a Bourdain Parts Unkown episode when he was in England in 2016 and they were talking about the Scotland independent refurenduk that was on the ticket it failed but it was like 52-48 vote not to leave GB. But the young crowd and younger generation voted in droves to leave so it's only a matter of time. They are just pissed England voted to leave EU. And want that EU gravy train to continue in Scotland.

It's sad because Scotland is beautiful. Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness and then the Highlands are unreal but they are basically in lock step with the Irish in terms of political leaning at this point and that is super pro EU and ultra left wing politics.
