I read that list of “wants” and think, by God, let them have it.
But build a wall because it won’t be 20 years before they start running south for salvation and food.
What a bunch of clueless and historically ignorant serfs.

We in the American South share that sentiment, for pretty much the same reasons as England.
Whatever they may be, the SNP are not fascists. Fascism is extreme violent nationalism and with a dictator. The SNP has neither
Salmond would like to be their supreme ruler, so there is that...
The Empire is gone, the monarchy is a thing for the gladrags and the UK is post-Christian. They have no other unifying factor. Once the Empire fell, it was only time for the UK to dismember itself
A recent poll showed that 2/3rds of UK citizenry didn't know what Waterloo was (the Battle of Waterloo that is -- it's the bicentenary this year)
