You know as well as anyone that the financial insecurity felt by all Scots is the chain holding Scottland to Brittan. Sadly, there are benefits to subserviancy. Think - to quote another movie seen recently - THIS IS SPARTA! Kinda corny eh !

Who says the vast majority of people will cast their votes on mundane issues? The vast majority of people don't believe anything politicians say, so the SNP's pursuit of the mundane is boring and slack. Love, McGellie x You’ve gone for the ps not the post.
