I am not talking about English regions. If they wanted to break away then it'd be nothing to do with me but as far as I know there is no serious campaign for anything like that. Red herring. I was talking about Scotland being a nation and the bulk of people in Scotland see it as that. No matter how it seems to annoy some of you guys. They see it is a naion, on the whole, whether they wish to remain in the union or not. That union involved the Kingdom of Scotland not separate individual parts of it. The idea about Fife is patent nonsense. It has the nickname the Kingdom of Fife because it was one of the ancient kingdoms that made up Pictland. It is not about me deciding Fife can't be on its own??? There is no popular movement for Fife to be independent. It is another complete red herring. Scotland is a constituent part of the UK just as England is.

As to the decision being up to the people of Scotland then of course it is. Where have I said any different. That is not the point here anyway. I have said several times that Scottish people see Scotland as a nation whether they are unionists or indy supporters. So I have no been arguing for independence in this thread - only pointing out that Scotland is a nation within the union.
