I think talk of an independent Scotland now is stupid, frankly.
Having grown up outside Scotland and indeed, the UK, I've become the typical ex-Pat and searched out and held onto Scottishness for what it means for me.
People tend to forget that the engine of British empire and for the development of much of our liberalism and ideals came from Scotland - it's been an intractable component of Britishness for over 200 years.
The political issue is one between the extremes of North and South - between London and everywhere else in the UK, and the sooner that is addressed, the sooner we can forget about all this shit and try and work out a fair system for everyone - for Scots, Northerners, people in Cornwall - anyone that feels disenfranchised by the behemoth that is the Capital City.
