That may be a wish, rather than a fact - but that's nothing new in political soundbites.
I never knew until I visited Scotland, just how much of a foreign country it actually is - Westminster might as well be Mars for how relevent it feels in Edinburgh.
That may be what fuels Mrs Sturgeon's obsession with separation - either that or she's got Braveheart on a loop on her desktop!!
At present the English pay for the benefits scroungers up here.Once us Scots get independence,who the heck is Sturgeon going to scrounge money off of to keep the workshy happy?Even if we rejoin the EU,i cant see France or Germany happy to subsidise us.They had a big enough problem with Greece.
