An interesting article by Michael Portillo.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...2-2230624.html "It is painfully apparent that the greatest talents in Scottish politics are not content with running their own country of 5m people. They prefer to rule the 60m who make up the UK, enjoying the sway in international affairs that Britain as a whole carries." Unfortunately this is true for top Labour/Lib Dem/Tory Scottish politicians at Westminster. They are so bent on power that they forget where they came from sometimes. "Britain today is growing faster than its large continental rivals, and the loss of a twelfth of our population in a region that drags down our national performance could not harm us. Our hydrocarbons are less of an issue now that they are being exhausted." So now that London has sucked Scotland dry of its most valuable natural resource they are going to cast us aside. Scotland should gain Independence on its own terms now and not when English politicians who couldn't give a toss about us decide. "Perhaps McConnell needs reminding that his population lives as well as it does thanks to subsidies extorted from English taxpayers." Fluff. "That last point leads to the thought that separation might not be so bad for Scotland either. It is a pensioner economy existing on English handouts, and consequently its politicians implement centralising policies of a kind abandoned in the former Soviet satellite states." More fluff. "As the Irish economy has freed itself from British influence, and in a new context for relations between London and Dublin created by the European Union, the Irish seem largely to have shed their anti-British hostility." If Ireland can do it, so can Scotland. "Before the expansion of the EU, we used to think that Scotland would be too small to go it alone. But with a population of 5m it is larger than Ireland, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Malta, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, and about the same size as Denmark and Slovakia, all of which are member states." The SNP have been saying this for years before EU expansion. Surely this man cannot be a Tory. "A Tory Scotland would be on the cards again." Better an Independent Tory Scotland than the New Labour Unionist crap we have to put up with now. |
