From what sticks in my mind about Scotland news articles is that they are pretty socialistic.
However, I followed some links around the beginning of the year, and found a story about a Scottish couple that was
going to have sewage dumped next to their cottage because the EU banned the practice of burning dried sewage, which,
pre-EU, went to generating power.
Brussels spouts, little people pout.
That is what is amazing: In the political spectrum of the EU they are practically a bunch of John Birchers.
You say the Scotsman is socialistic and ex-Tex says its very conservative. I have never read it. Hard to believe such divergent opinions exist as to its leanings.
