For much too long Scots have been taken for granted by Brit Civil Servants

Not at all. The Civil Service goes to great lengths to ensure that Scots can be supported by the English taxpayer.

Taken for Granted.....anyway you want to say it.

The Scots would much rather not be supported by the any taxpayer, the reason why so many moved to the US !
Now the men who would have joined the Highland regiments will be on the streets, the very ones who abhorr being tax payer supported the most.

This will be a very interesting next few years.Obviously the old thinking that the Highland Regiments were
a prophalactic for Scots of a violent bent is now regarded as out of date.

I disagree with that supposition. The British Generals and their Civil Service have made a very , very bad mistake.
