As I said, I’m not so much in favour of it as you think I am. But anyone who tells me that I cannot decide on the destiny of my own country can fsck right off.

I'm still waiting to be proven wrong, big boy.
So far it's been a bunch of bullshet feels from people who pretend to know something about nothing.

You can't. Enjoy being part of the UK.

Are you a Scot too?
Maybe that's why.
Tell me again how I don't know UK legislation.
Any day now, you just link me that legislation showing that I'm wrong.
Any....day...now.

Thought so. Not a single scrap showing I'm wrong.
You already conceded that Scotland is a country. I’ve already agreed that current legislation means Scotland can’t just walk away. What else is it you are harping on about?

Pleased to see that asylum is finally being blocked for people who have travelled through safe countries. It's pretty obvious that they're only coming to the UK for the benefits system anyway, not for safety.

Nice move from Priti Patel. I think she admitted somewhere that her parents might not have been allowed under current immigration rules.Finally? It was announced last year.

Possibly, but it might also make the UK look stupid if it’s judged to be illegal under international law (which a few commentators feel it is) or requiring an agreement with the prior safe countries to accept returns (post Brexit will France be all that amenable to the idea?).

BoJo government motto is 'Can I be stupider than a x-grader' so that is not a problem.

Could argue that as the UK no longer has access to EU funding to process asylum seekers (including housing them, etc, until decision are made) as part of the Dublin Regulation, it may even be easier to send them back to where they came from (the EU). Also, I imagine our mandatory quota for the number of refugees we HAVE to take in every year falls away as we're no longer a member state?
The UK had an opt out from that (amongst many other things...). Their quota was always 0.
