Seems to me that if Yes wins, that should help England keep its Conservative govt, since Scotland is a hotbed of socialists who were voting in lots of lefty MPs to Westminster.

But what' going to happen to the Stone of Scone?

When and why did Scotland turn socialist?

My great-grandparents left the Isle of Skye, in the dark of night, rowing out to get on a ship to take them to Nova Scotia, or so I am told. This was during the last of the Highland Clearances.

I am curious.

The Stone of Scone was returned several years ago.

Scottish independence is probably a really stupid move. The devil really is in the details. Just what form of association with England will there be?

I wonder what their immigration policies will be? Since the Labour Party is strongly based in Scotland, would they continue to be willing to let in jihadis? Will a more conservative England now move to correct the multi-cultural crap?
