    • 2021 February 9, Rafael Behr, “Sturgeon and Johnson have made Scottish independence seem inevitable. It isn't”, in The Guardian‎:
      As Brexit becomes a settled fact of life, it will still be a cause of remainer grievance. But it could also fuel reluctance to go through the same trauma all over again as “Scexit”. […] The message that Scexit would be even worse than Brexit can still be delivered, just not by Johnson himself.
