FBL. 'I don't want this to turn into a political forum' Then you proceed to do exactly that. I for one, am NOT interested in your political views. Nor am I interested in the views of someone who comes from Newcastle NI, either wrt PIK or wrt Scottish politics.
A small apology from some people in Scotland who view these types of comments, as well, frankly rude.
FWIW, FLB, made some pretty valid points as regards PIK. Perhaps if others viewed it in a similar vein, then we may get somewhere with it.
