Judging by Salmond's excellent track record on promoting equality, I reckon you and your kind will be doing the squirming.

Everybody in The UK has a stake. The people physically residing in Scotland get a vote, (you do not qualify for a vote by being Scottish, I thought I'd just point that out,) and the rest of The UK has a right to influence, comment and point out folly.

I have an emotional stake and I am not just interested in protecting my investment. Please take that back, worm.

No?

The Scottish government has been attracting investment and I assume a hypothetical independent one will too. SNP say they will at any rate. Looks like I will get to squirm alright. Squirm with delight when I complete on three more Fife cottages later this week. I am investing in Scotland. Irrelevant pipsqueaks like you should be grateful, not bitter. Anyway, train to Waverley tomorrow morning, on to St Andrews, get my pen out, have a nice night in one of my favourite hotels drinking with my youngest who is coming up with me, back on Friday. You can't stay there too long in case you bump into one of the 0.0001% similar to Akenaton.

Oh, you can't help being bitter. My mistake.
