The voter, named as Vince in a video released by Sky News, was quizzed about his opinions following the referendum on membership of the European Union.

Vince replies: “If they want to stay in it, what they’ll have to do is join up with EU, go to use their Euro and then we can just put a fence right across and then they can get their own passports.

“I thought Scotland was a part of England but it’s obvious they don’t want to be, do they?”
