As an aside, it’s noteable that any country which has fought to gain independance from the UK has never asked to be allowed back in.
Heh heh – it used to be the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish who had chips on their shoulders…
Has any nation anywhere never asked to be brought back into their original “mother”?? I doubt it.
I really don’t see that the English, with a few notable exceptions, have any chips. We’ll go along with whatever transpires. What we object to is the inbalance of the West Lothian formula vis a vis Scotland. Most English would probably welcome Scots and Welsh independence because the whinging would end and the English exchequer would be around £20 billion better off, net after oil revenue and Scottish and Welsh tax revenues were deducted.
The reality is, of course that a large majority of the Welsh and probably a majority of the Scots feel the same so independence will remain a pipe-dream for all of us.
