Starmer's vision quest

FWIW...

I'm not confident that he will ever be in power, which is a good thing. This is more wishful thinking on my part.

Given that Polanski's the only rUK party leader who supports self-determination for the devolved nations, him being PM is the only way a referendum will happen. So obviously I assumed you saw him as a future PM.

Why would we be bitter about owning Scotland? It's more of an annoyance, but no more than that.

But don't you guys all think Scotland's a pretendy nation of feckless subsidy junkies, all sitting on our fat arses swilling Buckie & watching our 60" tellies, all paid for by the boundless generosity of the English taxpayer?

Oh, you’re not bitter about thinking you own it.

You’re bitter about the mere idea it would flourish without you leeching off it.

Assumption is the mother of all farkups, as they say. If Scotland became independent I wouldn't be too bothered whether they succeeded or not. That wouldn't be our problem any more.

Imagine it Scotland did fail.

There would be Glasgow weekends in Blackpool all the time-the horror

On your first point, no but hadn't really thought about it like that. More that we might change our minds.

On your second, you might have shocked to know that I've gone beyond using 'Trainspotting' as my way of finding out what it's like North of the border. I also happen to have two good mates who are Scots and are hard working, self supporting types who are doing OK for themselves - in England.

That would mean we'd get even more of them down here. On consideration, I really want them to succeed...

Some of my best friends are Scottish?

I hope you're not trying to imply that I'm Sweatist

I reckon most Scots would rather walk around the Gorbals in a Celtic top than go to Blackpool.
