The point is that you use that fact that some asshole is "marching for Brexit" to slur a perfectly respectable position, a yearning with deep roots. That's called "tu quoque" I learned from the erudite Dr Munro - that's Latin so it must be a spiffing rapier thrust.
OK, OK, that's not real though I hear you cry: the reality is these fascist dicks are really actually there campaigning for the thing and their muscle is behind it. A few ways to answer that one, but for me it looks like it's you sir! that's looking through rose-coloured spectacles - at the profane provincial little empire down in western Europe. Unless Remain in Scotland is a "strategic opinion" (a strict contradiction of course) - of those that wish to plough their own turf and get out of Anglo-land. Which is what it sounds like when I hear a constant bleat about how nasty and stupid all "those" Leavers are down in England. The latter for me shows a lack of knowledge and unwillingness to learn - hence my previous comment. But strategy side is totally sound - good luck with it.
