We haven't had a war yet, we're not in a recession, and the EU is forging ahead with its army, letting Turkey in, etc etc.
I very much doubt the EU will exist in 10 years. It will fall, and our friends around Europe will be free again.
I very much doubt the UK will exist in 10 years. It will fall, and Scotland will be free again :-)
in the previous referendum this wasn't an issue, as the UK and an independent Scotland would both be in the EU together, with the freedom of movement of workers.
your average Scot values the ability to work in England much more highly than the ability to work in the EU, so this makes Scottish independence less likely, not more, which explains Sturgeon's recent behaviour.
I suspect if Scotland ever seceded they'd fudge automatic rights to work in England and open borders (in return for border checks at Scottish airports and a customs union) in a similar manner as needs to be negotiated for Northern Ireland. Those negotiations aren't going to be fun...
A Polish man was killed in Essex, and there's been a huge increase in racist attacks.

Britain hasn't left yet. But the Bank of England base rate is at a record low.

After Erdoğan's response to the failed coup, Turkey is further from joining the EU than it's been for a long time.
A Finnish man was killed by Iraqi asylum seekers a couple of days ago; are we now at war with Iraq? Hardly.
