Alternatively, if Brexit has become the great disappointment that opinion polls suggest, how come no one is protesting except independence supporters across Scotland? Secondly, attempts to celebrate Britain’s “independence day” already fell flat, when the Unboxed Festival of Great Britain and Northern Ireland took place just last year. A perfect moment to ram forced jolliness down the throats of Northern Irish Remain voters, whilst legislating to break international law by dumping the Northern Ireland protocol. So, independence supporters will leave Lights On in windows across Scotland and at a Holyrood rally tomorrow night which I have co-organised. Even if EU membership doesn’t make every Yesser heart race, it’s the prism through which neighbours understand the campaign for independence.
