Wanting Scottish or Welsh independence is not reactionary nationalism. Reactionary nationalism is wrapping yourself in British flags, supporting Brexit & banging on about immigration.

You don't get a free pass from reactionary nationalism because you're British.

It is not only normal, but it is a right. Scotland was an independent country once, and is entitled to be so again, if that’s what the people of Scotland want). The wishes of the UK Government, Westminster and Whitehall are frankly irrelevant.
