England for the English only has worked for thousands of years....
The expression England for the English could be seen as racist. However, the fact is, from the outside looking in, it looks more like "England...
for the Rich English
only. I cannot fathom why everyone else in England would want to live like this.
England for the Rich English:

Here is a link to support the view that the Government is aiding and abetting a narrative of exclusion:
https://www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/fundamental/hostile-environment/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43782241In a country where the narrative is EU BAD ENGLAND GOOD and where "foreigners" that have contributed to englands growth (for decades) are kicked out, it is no wonder that an element of England for the English makes its way here. Such a narrative has been spoon fed to the english people for decades now. its simply wrong and is masking the profound issue of social inequality, keeping the rich on top and the poor in the gutter.

How is it a bad thing ?
As you just said eu is going to shit. If we see european geographic countries, all the top countries there aren't in eu (hi Sweiss)
Wanting to return into a sinking ship would be a very bad move imo
Nobody in their right mind should want to see England collapse. Or France, or Germany, or America (or China or Russia). Whether they are the EU or not, they are a great country and I would much rather have sound neighbors then destitute ones. I view this the same way I view America's "bringing democracy to the world". The running idea as i understand it is, if you bring democracy to the world, the world will conform to your way of thinking, and you can work with the world. In this way I would be of the running view : bringing social equality to the world sothat the world has agreed principles on equality. in this regard I view the conservative party in england as a dead end and the sooner voters realize this, the better for england as a whole.

Truss just broke the UK economy for generations.
Government borrowing interest rates have increased dramatically and the value of the £ has fallen to record lows.
To those who said Scotland is too small to be independent. Or that Scotland is better together with England.
What would they say now? Irelands economy booming and they don't actually produce anything. No offense Ireland.
Should Scotland remain and have another unelected Tory PM destroy economic prosperity for future generations?
I would not say that the government broke the UK economy for generations. I would say the markets are not happy, they dont understand or agree with the plan and they are very skeptical on whether this will result in a recovery. I stand by the view that something had to to done and this was the most obvious choice. From a historical standpoint it may work, but that the distribution of wealth will only widen further, and in this regard its perpetuating the notion of England for the Rich English only.
