Well Corky, I guess I walked into that one, didn't I? I've up-repped you to acknowledge that I was wrong, and you're right on this particular issue (hopefully that won't grate too much ) though comments made by Barroso, Schultz and others in recent times indicate that, as usual, they're not that interested in making life easy for anyone. Tell me - how do YOU see an independent Scotland structured? Currency? Central Bank? Defence and security? Taxation?
And although this is slightly off-topic, on a point of information, please don't include me in your group of "Unionists". As I said, my position is simple; if Scotland wants independence, Scotland should have it through an agreed democratic process. And when you get a vote which is split 52:48 in favour of independence, I hope Scotland doesn't have its own kilted Gina McMiller to go to Court to try to override the democratic will. Or Lib Dems who simply want to override the vote because, y'know, reasons.........
The other side of my view is that independence cuts both ways. It affects the rest of the country outside Scotland just as fundamentally as it affects Scotland. Accordingly, ALL UK citizens must have a vote on the matter. I very, very strongly suggest that if Her Eminence wants a pro-independence referendum result she should campaign for the English to be included in it. The Welsh and Northern Irish might have some interesting views, too.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I have some baking to get back to. A Dundee Cake! How marvellously patriotic. Covered in nuts.
