SCOTLAND, THE BRAVE

—England has already had a referendum on withdrawal from the  European Union and Scotland has had several referendums on devolution of powers to a national assembly, a first step towards independence akin to Dominion Status and ultimate independence of Canada and Australia.

—No, I think you are mistaken there.  England has never had a referendum on membership in the European Union, and apart from the 2014 Independence Referendum Scotland hasn't had any previous referenda on independence.

—Are you sure about that?  I seem to remember a referendum in the 70's on EU membership.

—No, Máirtín, you are an idiot.  We live in the United Kingdom.  I think we know better than you what is going on there
