Scotland says so much hatred

GusA PS you - so much hatred. As the Black Eyed Peas put it: 'Where is the love?'

1970: Peter Preston like some other Guardian columnists objects to Scottish independence because it could lead to a Tory controlled English Parliament. That's called democracy Mr Preston. That politicians want to retain the Union solely for their own partisan interests just adds to public cynicism about them. Indeed if many English people realised we only had a Labour government because of Scottish voters' preferences there could well be an increasing demand for a separation between UK and English government. I would suggest that the present situation is only accepted due to ignorance.

1970 - you cannot be selective in your cynicism about politicians.. The SNP lot just want to snarfle at the EU trough and meet George Bush at EU-US summits before the real talent heads back north and starts to compete for place
It's the problem with the modern Europe's fragmentations...jumped up local politicians wanting to sit at the big table. It's human nature but twhere will it all end? "Today Cumbria council...tomorrow the EU heads of government banquet in Rome."

GusA - where's the love? the love will come in after a Scottish girl sits on my face. That's usually the way it works. That's how I fell for Poland.
Do you propose to demilitarise then? So, are we all going to demilitarise and let the US, the most militarist, rogue nation of all, defend us. Or you going to freeload on the rest of the EU as the Irish, disgracefully, have virtually been doing for decades.
