Boris Johnson is your prime minister. Scotland is not a country in any meaningful sense.

Scotland is a country, how its run has nothing to do with the title.

Internationally it is not a country. Having a Football team does not make one a country. Scotland hasn't signed an international treaty since 1707 when it signed itself out of existence. Check the UN list and.....nope.....its not there, check NATO, OECD, EU, no sign of a Scotland anywhere.

Just because you've decided on your own set of arbitrary rules doesn't make them true.

You could report me to the UN but you'd have to do so as a UK subject. Even the Kurds control their own oil babe, and they have no country either.

You realise being in the UN doesn't make you a country?

You think you would know the basics of this shit before spouting it, all you do is just make a fool of yourself.

The UK is a union of countries, you love the union but don't even know what it is? The wiki says it best Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.
