Title: An Independent Scotland?
Post by: Snoopy on May 15, 2011, 12:49:32 PM: An interesting article from a most unexpected source.

Colin Gray, an 81-year-old retiree, sits on the hardwood pew of his local church, struggling with the Telegraph crossword.

The mid-spring light percolates through the stained glass window. It is Friday morning. This gentle soul, a church member all his days, clears his throat, takes off his glasses, and in the politest possible fashion lacerates Scotland.

“Let them go their own way,” he said. “That would mean less Scottish MPs plus we wouldn’t have to pay Scotland any money. All of these people in the last Labour government were all Scottish. So just let them do their damage up there. Besides, all the best Scots left Scotland: America’s full of Scots, Canada’s full of Scots, England’s full of Scots. There can’t be many left. The ones that stayed must enjoy the place, so let them have it.”

The church is King Charles The Martyr Anglican church. The town is Tunbridge Wells. The country is England. The view expressed is common.

What think we?
