''we should let them have their independence''

Lloyds could sell Bank of Scotland to them for £30 Billion, if they can raise the money. The BOS in history has printed Scottish pounds which were 12, to 1 pound Sterling

''There are about 800,000 Scots living in England''

This is why the SNP wanted their fellow country excluded from the 2014 vote, at the same time allowing 16 year olds and foreign nationals working in Scotland the vote

''the AZN vaxx only grabbed a tiny 3% share of worldwide vaccine dollars and 0% of profits in 2021''

''More English people move to Scotland than vice versa''

There are about 450,000 English living in Scotland - a tiny percentage of English population.

There are about 800,000 Scots living in England - a sizeable percentage of Scottish population.

''I do recall his original post did qualify his 'freedom of movement' statement with it needing some controls.''

I am afraid your memory in wandering.
NO CONTROLS

''Look at the age-group breakdowns for Brexit/remain polls.
It's simply a matter of time''

Yes time - those 20 year olds turn into 40 year olds and then 60 year olds and then 80 year olds.

''We passed seamlessly-with no stops-between France, Switzerland and Italy despite the fact we are no longer part of the EU.''

Glad to here the the UK no longer being in the EU members club is not causing you much harm.

hv
''Because if he did, she would have no choice but to invoke the Lascelles principles which were designed to protect''

no it is you who has misunderstood.
You agreed that without support for the pm then parliament will not function. With a parliament that cannot function, there would be no invoking of the the Lascelles principle. The queen is never going to stop a GE

mb
''Brexit punch up''

Face up to the reality - the UK have left the EU.
A coalition government between Sir 'peoples vote' Starmers party and the LibUNdems though could see a return to the single market and customs union

hv
but you said -''That would embarrass the Queen and cause her to invoke the Lascelles principals''

glad that you realise now that would not be the case if the PM did call a GE.
His proffered option would be to get on with the job with a fully functioning parliament

there is no fixed term parliament - the PM could call a GE

hv
''Indeed''

Indeed, which is why there will be no invoking the Lascelles principals by the queen

hv
''You can't have a general election when the government has a large working majority.''

you cannot have a functioning parliament/government if no one is willing to take government posts and support the pm..
