I have Scottish ancestry so I take an interest in this whole debate.
I haven't read everything written on the Scottish Independence debate but
I can't see what the Scots see in going down this route except being able
to say they are free of the English.
They seem to have the best of both worlds at the moment.
It also seems like one person pushed along by a vocal minority and
his own personal hatred of the English and grasping at anything they
can to help sell it to the masses (and changing position if it will help sell it - EU) and of course leaving out the negative parts.
