- arethuza 7y agoSome are, some aren't - I flew out to Spain recently and unexpectedly got fairly emotional at the prospect that it might be my last time through the "EU Citizen" channel. I also see far more EU flags flying from peoples houses than Union Jacks - but then I am in Scotland!
- calpaterson 7y agoSorry, I edited the comment above to make it less likely to start a flamewar and now your response has lost context but yes: not everyone is a unionist. However there are enough of them that breaking up the UK is non-trivial (and full disclosure: I hope that continues).
