Aye and English can have midges. Especially when on holiday in Scotland..

To be honest I wasn't sitting on the sideline. I feel Th UK should have a say in things that affect The UK and find it to be arrogant in the extreme for a few counties to try and declare UDI. Pooling resource and risk brings stability, as I have found and promoted in many areas such as business and public sector. Government is no different. So if you want something more inventive, then invent a currency. Keep sterling and ou need to pool economic strategy with the rest of The UK anyway so independence will have the effect of Scotland having less not more say in its economy. Get the Euro and ditto, only Frankfurt rather than Westminter. Invent a currency and you exchange the haggis for a banana.

On the other hand. Ripping the piss out of nationalists and other dinosaurs is fun, and actually has a social benefit. Helps to prevent modern outward looking people from taking the silly sods seriously.

Self determination? No. Just the one salary for the same politicians...
