Right now, watching the ruling class scurrying to Edingburgh in panic with 'ten days to save the union' - I am wishing I was Scottish.
What is happening in Scotland at the moment is nothing to do with Braveheart nationalism or tartan sentimentalism. It is about ordinary people sticking two fingers up at decades of ruling class neglect and of being ruled by far away toffs who have no understanding of the lives of a people. In return these ordinary people have consistently not given a political mandate to these toffs and are now serving notice on them.
I feel the same way - and I only live a few miles up the road from Westminster.
Once Scotland gains its independence - do you think there any chance of a plebiscite in North London for us to be annexed ?

Spot on. They don't get it do they? All the arguments about sterling and the euro, about the bank of Scotland, the role of the monarchy, centuries of union, and all. Its eyewash and does not translate into effects on the livelihood of ordinary working people. As far as I am concerned I want the corner of my southern town to be independent of the Lib Dem council and racketeering property sharks.
