yeh.... abit nothing compared to the highland clearances though.....!

we won't move because my wife asked to retire here on the south coast - but if Scotland went independent, and it was my choice entirely. I would move there.

I think tory government is a blight on the country - its like recurring nightmare. I t just never occurs to them to develop the rest of the country apart from the south east where all their constituencies are.

its okay I suppose if you're in with the fast set, but theres all kinds of really bad shit happening - because the rest of the country is not getting its fair share of jobs and economic development.

the dependence on low wage immigrants, the obscene property prices around the capital, the drug culture and the people living on the streets - which previous to Thatcher were completely unknown in this country - its all a consequence of the grab it now culture.

Scotland has been treated shamefully. if it has a chance to break free from the malaise that grips the rest of this poor country - i'd say go for it!
