I reckon it was the ‘English’ that hounded your forefathers through the highlands. Just a suggestion, as we Brits weren’t really invented yet. It kind of makes sense for such a small island to be united under one banner. Scotlands economy would struggle if they got independence, and for one thing their children wouldn’t be able to have free university education. Its thanks to the taxpayers from England that they can afford such a luxury. One of the perks of being part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Hey, for an Englishman like me, the idea of not having to prop up the scottish economy with my money sounds good. Perhaps I could send my children to Uni for free, instead of the fortune its cost at the moment.

Even as a Unionist,can we knock off the ‘Scots subsidy’ myth?.

Lets start discussing this issue from a sensible level, no matter what we decide to do...
