Subject: RE: BS: Scotland does not exist
Gutcher. Yes I can.

Technology information and global business means The UK is about as small as it gets.
I'm not speaking as an English bloke addressing a Scottish bloke. Unlike Scottish nationalists I don't recognise an us and them. I speak as a we. So if Scotland is a net drain or a net asset it makes no difference. Taxes paid by the Big houses in the nice village where I live help the large town down the road. If I were to use Scottish logic we'd let the town starve as we're alright Jack. Whether Scotland is financially viable is irrelevant. The size of the public sector in feeding the domestic economy is a concern that accountants in distilleries won't be able to disguise with fancy spreadsheets though. My sincere concern awsy from teasing small minded nationalists is that there are too many contrasting forecasts around for any sane person to be sure of their conviction that their choice is the best outcome.

I sincerely hope I'm not that petty. The polls suggest neither are most Scots.
