The concern I have about post-Brexit Scottish independence is don't we do do the vast majority of our trade with England? So that would become vastly more complex because the EU is not likely to have good trading relations with rUK.

One thing, re the Wolfenstein thing. It strikes me it'd be very easy to do a similar skit with one of the more racist Call of Duty games, where you gave all of the "Namby Liberal" excuses not to kill these Muslim terrorists. I think we'd all find it pretty chilling.

I'll be honest, I find that one pretty chilling too, especially given some of the very wide definitions of "Nazi" I've seen going around. Put them together and it sounds like we're egging ourselves up to saying it's okay to start killing the conservatives, or the alt-right.

It really, really isn't, and honestly, from now on, wherever I see it, I'm going to voice opposition, because this is how awful things start.
