I, for one, am longing for Scotland to vote Yes to independence. The disgraceful threats that are now being thrown about by the Westminster establishment amount to - vote No or we'll bankrupt you. And yet that same Westminster establishment doesn't give a fig for Scotland.
Scotland is more than capable of thriving as an independent nation, just as capable as Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech republic etc etc etc. Whether or not the Scots will fall for the propaganda campaign that is being waged against them with the full and united power of the entire mainstream media remains to be seen.
As for the shape and form that an independent Scotland would take - it certainly can't be any worse than the present situation, which entirely consists of being an irrelevant appendage, not to England, but to London, as is the rest of the UK.
The Union has had its day and good riddance. While the British empire was at its height, one third of children in Glasgow were dying of poverty. The break up of the (dis)United Kingdom is long overdue and this will be a wonderful opportunity to get rid of the ghastly Union Jack flag, a symbol of empire, colonialism and rampant exploitation. As you know it is made up of four flags. Take out the blue (from the Scottish saltire) and what is left?
Having said that, I am in no way confident of a Yes vote next Thursday.
PS. The film Braveheart was rubbish. William Wallace was a Lowlander and would never, ever, have worn a kilt. All that blue paint was a joke, since the Picts, who did paint themselves blue lived about 1000 years before. And William Wallace was a minor nobleman, had been educated in Italy, and would have spoken several languages. He would also have combed his hair.
