The Royal Kingdoms of Orkney, Shetland & Fife

It seems as if some patriotic Scots think that if Scotland becomes independent that certain areas should have the right to cede from Scotland. You have to wonder if these Scots have thought this out and if they have asked  the people of these area what they think? In days gone by they would of been charged with treason but we are too civilised now to go that far. We just think that it is a few politicians who dislike of the SNP and what they stand and this gets in their way of rational thought and not what is best for the constituencies they represent & those Earls & Lords whose only claim to represent us is who his great great great ..... great grandfather was and who that relative killed to gain the land & title.

Post Conferences & The Real World

You may of noticed my absence on both here & Twitter. That is due to me being busy but also wanting to have a bit of a relaxing time. The busy part was attending two conferences/meetings. They could not of been more different, the Scot LibDem Conference in Inverness & the HMDSN Hirschsprung's meeting in Glasgow.

Independence, Why

I watched last night's Scotland Tonight and one of the contributors was the editor of a Irish newspaper. In a discussion he had with a constitutional expert, the difference between our debate and say Ireland's & India's was that the economy did not come into it. I was not around when their independence happened so I have to take their word for it. Why does it seem so important in our discussions?
