You don’t get it do you?. It is not about Alex Salmond it is about self determination for the Scottish people.

Is it? When it’s about getting more handouts, how is it about self-determination?

The Irish Republicans claimed that self-rule was about self-determination too; but Éamon de Valera sold Ireland out to the European Union (then the EEC) back in 1972, with language in the Irish Constitution’s Third Amendment that made European law supreme over Irish law. A further-left Scotland will most likely suffer the same fate.

By the way, the phrase “self-determination” has been abused by many tyrants and terrorists over the years. It is not a phrase that retains validity.
