    Brydo, I have to admit that because I can’t find a way to understand the Scotnat obsession with breaking up a Union of nations which has served us all well for over 300 years, is entirely my problem.

    My ancestry is mixed – English, Scottish and Dutch.  If anyone asks me my nationality, I’m British.  I happen to have been born in Birmingham and I currently live on the English south coast but to me that’s just geography.

    If you think that a Scottish government could run Scotland better than the UK government does, you may be right.  An English government without the financial burden of the rest of the UK could certainly do better for the people who live in England but I don’t see a drive amongst the people here to throw of the shackles of the rest of the UK.

    So your ambition makes no sense to me, that’s all . And it’s in my nature to make sense of stuff and not just take things at face value.  I was taught to challenge and question. It’s how I learn.

    If that makes me anti mainstream and left field then I’m happy with that.
