I do wonder how much of your Brexit judgements you apply to Scotland in the eventuality of the leaving them UK. I mean, it's a big deal for them, right? To leave a stable global economy, leave a stable currency, put up border controls with their most important trading partner... all in the name of sovereignty, which of course is a dirty word to you. These Scottish nationalists, yes actual nationalists who identify as belonging to a nation, want to run their own affairs instead of being told what to do by what they perceive as an outside party, maybe even a mini-superstate, the ruling government in Westminster.
That's fucking nuts, right? You'll surely be dead against them doing this because it's stupid.
If Scotland do leave the UK, what happens? A border becomes operational, and suddenly lots of people who regularly commute across the border are expected to show some ID at a checkpoint. Scotland did that just by daring to leave the UK. People have to fuck about instead of just cross the border without even stopping. So if England say "bollocks to this, we'll just run the border checkpoints on a skeleton staff", that's the fault of Scotland? The reason for this is because Scotland left the UK. Waa fucking waa.
No, it would be England's fault. We have a legal obligation to manage our borders, both land and sea, with neighbouring countries. Just like France do. So if they're understaffed as a consequence of them not hiring enough staff to manage the extra workload of Brexit, the fault is with the French for their incompetence, not the British for exercising their sovereign rights.
