1. Scotland, Wales, and N. Ireland probably take issue.

We just assume they are smart because of their accent. Well known phenomenon. All the IQ points we subtract from southern accents we apply to British accents.

Unless they are from the North.

2. Farage is Britain's

version Trump ('fascists of a feather flock together') and anti immigrant sentiment was a driving force behind Britain's Brexit. And yes it was disastrous. But apparently not disastrous enough.

5. By "British", you presumably mean "English"

Scotland and Wales haven't fallen for it. Northern Ireland votes next year.

6. Exactly.

The Sassanach (damned English) are intent on forcing Scotland and Northern Ireland to leave the UK.

Scotland and Northern Ireland should form a new Celtic Union. They can join the Commonwealth and keep the King (if that's what they want to do).

9. Well, not quite, but the increase in Reform votes in Wales is worrying

Vote like that in a general election, and they'll pick up some Westminster seats. 5 out of the 16 areas put Reform first.

7. You've set a high bar
