Why is it either of those? I think you're willfully taking "rebuild Hadrian's Wall" to have an extremely literal meaning that isn't intended by anyone saying it. Clearly they mean "build a wall between Scotland and rUK", not "follow the exact line of a 2000-year-old wall".

Trust me, if you've followed the Scottish Independence debate at all, there really are people who should know better that do actually think this way. They really do think Hadrian's Wall is the Scottish border.
