re: #387 Jimmah

It’s hard for many Scots to forget that they endured 13 years of Thatcherism despite overwhelmingly voting against it year after year. I’d say that fo most Scots it’s not so much about ‘ethnicity’ as political fairness. As for the rise in English nationalism, that may be a different matter.

My main worry about independence is that the need for a newly created independent Scotland to balance it’s books and show that it can ‘stand with the big boys’ could actually rsult in a dramatic rolling back of ‘progressive’ values in our society.

Ha! Funny because that was one of my thoughts. And it was on the fiscal end. The UK has a good infrastructure in place for staying in the black.
