Opinion polls in recent years suggest between a quarter and a half of Scotland's 5 million people want the same independence from London which Wallace fought for seven centuries ago.
The pestilence that remains the "informal" british empire continues to plague the UK, and unfortunately, the rest of the planet as well.

Scotland The Brave!
I'll see if I can get any personal account news about the event when he gets back.
As power builds in the far east America and EU countries are doing their best to knock their own countries down.
A fragmented UK will greatly damage our support in WW IV.
You're up early.
Must be that good Scottish ancestry that beckons and calls.
For your Celtic ping list.
Uhh...hellooo! Movie. "Braveheart". Sound familiar Mr. Ross?
Great article. Thanks for the ping.
OK Karen... the obligatory picture of Mel?
ya know?
Yeah, duty calls at 0600 this week!
Right now, I'm waiting for patients to come in, sipping my Vente Starbucks Colombian with a shot 'o eye opener in it.
And talking about Mel, uh...William Wallace, with my one of my bestest Freeper pals :)
Ah, what a great day it's starting out to be ;)
Here's a strange. When we were in Indiana for the second of three weddings, the Maid of Honor gave the toast:
"And dying in your beds many years from now, you would be willing to trade one chance, just one chance..."
It left the room a bit confused, as you can imagine.
"It's time the leaders in Scotland woke up and listened to what the people want." Opinion polls in recent years suggest between a quarter and a half of Scotland's 5 million people want the same independence..."
Sounds like the leaders in Scotland have a lot better hearing than Ross.

Wallace?
Indeed.
Still working at school.
Not as far as I would like at this point, but am getting there.
Did I tell you we flew over your fair state last Saturday?
Leaving Dulles, heading to O'Hare in Chicago, we were diverted to New York because of a storm front hitting the Midwest, south of Chicago.
Closest I've been to New York at this point. For awhile I thought they were going to send us to LaGuardia.
