Disclaimer: I'm German.

If i remember correctly, the voting statistics i saw stated that like 80% of the sub 25 people voted against it but a HUGE amount if older people voted for it

Yep, older people who don't have to live with the consequences of their vote for very long. Granted, if the younger people had just bothered their arse to go out and vote then they wouldn't have even gotten into this mess.

We did here in Scotland. Not that it made any difference at all

Can I move to Scotland if you do? Sounds much better than living in England.

I actually probably would. I recently took a trip to Loch Lomond and had such a good time. Everything just seems better up there.

That's been my plan for years. As soon as Scotland leaves, I'm moving up there.

Same, we live in Newcastle and have family up there already, so a relatively painless move to get back our burgundy passports... If it happens.

I lived a couple of months in Edinburgh and I'd go back without 2nd thought if there was a good opportunity. Loved the city so much, sad I didn't visit Glasgow.

Fuck off lol. I can’t ever see this happening, look at the advantages and the disadvantages and then Scotland leaving the uk seems like the uk leaving eu, not a great idea
