On: Scotland rejects independence

[slamontales]

You must not be familiar with the recent history of Northern Ireland - widespread gerrymandering, suppression of civil rights, massacres of civilians by unaccountable armed forces of the state, illegal torture/detention camps for political detainees etc. A lot has changed but all of that is the very recent living memory of the UK.

But that is exactly my point. The fact that just mere 2-3 decades later such things didn't happen in Scotland is mind-boggling.
