Facebook memories "helpfully" reminded me that ten years ago I woke up to the news that we'd voted "Naw". I wasn't surprised, but I was disappointed. Some of the comments left by family members were quite enlightening, not to the point of cutting ties, but my aunt writing "Did you want independence so you could laugh at us descending into chaos from over the border?" was a bit much. If we'd voted yes, I'd have done everything I could to move home.
Rather than start a new thread a search through this one up, and reading it back brought amusement in the form of debating powerhouse jowwy blundering around like an infant.
A decade on and I think it's fair to say Scottish independence is dead in the water for the time being. The SNP have self-immolated and it appears we're happy as a nation for things to trundle on as they are, in hoc to Westminster and (even more boringly) Labour who only really give a toss about Scotland when it suits them.
