i don't imagine for a moment that all those pro-independence are on the side of the angels. but i did say that many scots would like the opportunity to try to make a better job of government than westminster have managed- hardly a contentious point. there is also no argument that we are a wealthy country that could be run more fairly. many -not all- scots have more sympathy towards a more egalitarian approach to government. and are quite rightly aggravated by being told they are not capable of managing their own affairs without the benign generosity of rump uk.
