Gordon Brown tells us the union of England and Scotland is under threat, telling us of a 'dangerous drift' toward separatism. Does anyone think the differences between the two states have become stronger after the SNP (founded 1934) has performed well recently, and has worried politicians of other parties just in time for the Scottish elections.
Wondering how English will treat Scots (in England), and vice versa, for it has many implications...and not just the usual groans like the Scottish oilfields and whisky revenue. And I'm sure the London-based red-tops will play the stirring game as they did with the West Indies (and Brit. born Windies) as they did from the late-fifties onwards, and the Irish ten years after. Who knows...some dear might even concoct an orgasm-inducing S.A.S.-'terrorist'-'extremist' story to get us all south of Berwick-on-Tweed sneer...and in Scotland itself, supporters of Mr. Salmond (and the man himself) might show us unforseen colours. Are we ready for it?
