The above has, fortunately, "nothing to do with me!"
Nevertheless:
If I have, or had, any finger on the pulse of English [sic] sentiment it is that some inducement to live and work in Scotland is highly desirable.
When I was offered a P Met O slot on promotion, it was Leuchars or Bawtry. This was literally a no brainer. The decision was based on ignorance, not experience, but took into account language difficulties, short winter days, cold winter nights and nasty biting cleggs or whatever. And the bagpipes.
There are probably many still serving who have similar baggage, exacerbated by the outpourings of dislike by the SNP leader.
To add penalties to such Scottish postings seems counter-productive..
