Scottish pedantry overrides reality once again.


That one is a serious concern. The NHS in Scotland is a devolved matter
and is run very differently from the NHS south of the border.

-Scotland would be chucked out of the EU (no competent ruling or
decision actually exists but e.g. Germany did not have to leave the EU
when re-forming as the EU just tailored appropriate arrangements)
etc. etc.


It can't be chucked out because it is not in. And that is not anything
to do with the No campaign but the considered opinion from the EU.


An interesting one, since the EU apparently has no provision for
rescinding EU citizenship, which UK nationals in Scotland currently
enjoy. AIUI the EU hasn't actually made a statement on the matter and
that's one of the complicating factors.
