The current UK does not have a hard border with Ireland. If England buys a lot of Scottish things they will be affected too. There isn’t going to be a hard boarder.

Of course there will be. Northern Ireland only got an exception after years of negotiating and because it's physically separate from the mainland. How are you going to restrict EU nationals entering England (and vice-versa) without a hard border? 

Living 5 miles from the border as I do you'll also have to appreciate how many Scottish people working across the border in places like Carlisle and Newcastle will lose their jobs as a result.
