Scotland was a long time beneficiary of aid from the European Union. They felt their wishes were disregarded and that they are net losers in Brexit. Scotland over generations has paid a price for not being independent. The whole system is broken. It's anti-democratic I don't really want to be part of it. So I think it's a big chance for Scotland to do something different. We're not going to stay part of the UK.
The funeral of Queen Elizabeth today will be one of the most extraordinary public spectacles of the last several decades in Britain, accompanied by an outpouring of sadness, reverence and respect.
But the end of the queen’s 70-year reign has also prompted long-delayed conversations about the future of the Commonwealth and of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom.
Guest: Mark Landler, the London bureau chief for The New York Times.
