I agree with all that. I haven't been paying too much attention. Has separatist feeling been increasing? My feeling (based on nothing) was that it was static around 20%.

Speratism has been increasing everywhere on the right and the left. Rather that's an intentional divide and control strategy or people organically getting sick of the systems around them - whose to say. I used to say nothing will come of it but then I watched the UK take themselves right out of the EU and found out Cambridge Analytica had a heavy hand in it. Also 20% is a big number. That's one in five people. Every fifth person. That's a LOT. You only need 3.5% of the population to make a nonviolent policy change, 10% for a revolution against Great Britain. Even if that number stays at 20% my worry is some entity will organize that angry mass towards a goal.
