The Scots look like they may be heading for another independence vote and with the UK likely to slip into recession it may not better for the Scots to leave. On the other hand Wales can only hope that the English are in a charitable mood - sadly the Welsh have no other options available to them.
Here is today's news:
"Britain faces the threat of a Brexit-driven recession, experts have warned, after the first snapshot of business activity since the vote showed it had been knocked sharply off course by the result."

And where will the Scots get the money from to pay for the vote, as for the recesion wasnt that forecast 2 months ago ?
There are quite a few companies in England that are planning to move all or part of their operations to the EU. Scotland could be an excellent option for some of those companies.
Ireland not so many years was one of the poorest countries in Europe. The Irish opened their doors to businesses and lowered their corporate tax rate, turning Ireland into one of the more dynamic countries in Europe - Scotland could do the same.

And then went bust because the EU pulled the plug on them.
How will Scotland leave the Union if they are told they cant have a referendum, it would be against the treaties they signed to become part of that union. They cant just hand back their membership without it costing them £millions
You might want to look into Ireland's recent history. The EU never "pulled the plug on them" as you say. Ireland's success in attracting international companies was and continues to be their strength. Ireland's banks got into many of the same residential lending practices that got US banks into trouble in 2008/2009:
"One of the key factors was a U.S.-style, easy-money real estate bubble, in which banks provided cheap credit to almost anyone who wanted to buy or build houses, dramatically hiking prices. The boom lasted for more than a decade, but when the global recession hit in 2008, home prices collapsed and people could not pay back their loans, imperilling the banks holding the debt. In recent years, the government borrowed more and more money to fund budget deficits in a weak economy."
Ireland's crisis explained
Thanks to Ireland's drive to attract international companies with advantageous tax rates, cooperation between business, government and universities and the ability to draw upon a qualified and skilled workforce, the residential lending crisis of 2008 is increasingly forgotten:
"The economy expanded by more than 9 per cent in the fourth quarter of last year and by 7.8 per cent for all of 2015, outstripping official and market forecasts and confirming Ireland as the fastest-growing EU economy."
"That is the highest level of growth in Irish gross domestic product since 2001, when it rose by 10 per cent and ushered in several years of hectic economic expansion. That ended with a banking crash which was caused by the bursting of a house price bubble in 2008."
