Scots aren’t British? That’s great news, I’m gonna go update my passport!

They aren’t “the British people”. Obviously.

1. "Let's take a look a look at what humans think about communism: <link to a video about North Koreans praising their leader>"

2. "That's just north koreans"

3. "North koreans aren't humans?"

Comment #3 is not a valid counterargument to comment #2. The point is that Scots may not be a representative sample of "all Brits", even if Scots are Brits.

No, my (possibly too subtle) point was that this might be the moment where Scots begin to cease thinking of themselves as Brits. I don't think there's any danger of the DPRK declaring themselves non-human

Considering they recently publicly decided to be British, they're about as British as you can be.

Technically, Scots as in those born in Scotland and still living there voted to not be British. The vote was open to all living in Scotland (above the age of 16), which includes many people from the other nations such as England who may (or may not) consider themselves Scots, and conversely some people may consider themselves Scots but not live in Scotland.

> The vote was open to all living in Scotland

In other words, people with an unambiguous stake in the outcome.

Heh touché, but I think we can all agree that’s maybe not really reflective of popular regional attitudes towards “British”-ness.

And I suppose we will see as the parade travels south and crossese the border, but I don’t think you will see the same sort of anti-Charles sentiment in Manchester or London.

Fair, I didn't like what look like a dismissal of the Scottish people's Britishness.
