It wasn't abuse Jim. It was fairly provocative yes, but pointing out the absurdity of saying Scotland doesn't have the mainstream political parties in any big way.

You do.

That is what the ruddy independence vote is all about!

There are many people south of the border who don't have Tory or LibDem MPs but still are governed by a coalition. The Scottish Parliament is, like it or lump it, a sub committee of Westminster. If it weren't, there would be no need for a vote, with or without a stiffy. (Mind you, the swingometer is another story.)

I didn't suggest political motive, I suggested arrogance. Arrogance in suggesting Scotland is not part of the UK political parties debate. It is until the people speak. My "childish" post was written in that way because I laughed at the smug "already a Haggis republic" stance that you posted. If you represented yourself wrongly, then fair enough, but I posted based on what you wrote..
