If the Scottish Nationalists had a strategy to another shot at Independance surely they would have voted to exit. Remaining would deny them that route, as the status quo would be prevail, and it has already been established that Scotland would NOT have another shot at independance.

Not true. The only scenario that demands another Scottish Indepenence vote is the one that actually occurred: A UK exit from the EU coupled with a massive Scottish vote to remain. If Scotland had voted to exit the EU, where is the logic in them then demanding another Independence vote? Based on what?
So the Scottish Indy supporter has the massed ranks of the English working class to thank for providing the opportunity to call for another Independence vote, and this time I think it would be overwhelmingly a "Yes".
The Guardian newspaper published some interesting statistics on the Leave/Remain vote based on higher education/formal qualification demographics. Basically it showed that the stupider you are, the more likely you are to vote "Leave" (Myself and Markit are obviously outliers). Now we have laughable scenes of remainers (mainly young) demanding a [I]second[/I] referendum because they lost. The poor little diddums didn't get what they wanted and are now throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat their vegetables. It will all settle down eventually and Britain will be just fine. Some will lose, some will win and Bob Geldoff will release a new single "I don't like Thursdays".
