Scottish Independence

Excerpt:

The SNP generally proposes what I think of as "Braveheart Nationalism." This doesn't mean that they take William Wallace, the great Scottish patriot, as their guide and inspiration. Rather, it means that they take their inspiration from Mel Gibson's 'interpretation' - i.e. an Australian who has lived most of his life in the US, taking a story, throwing most of it away, and then heading to Ireland to film it because both countries look the same. Not quite the Caledonian Cause that might have been expected. This Braveheart Nationalism is reflected in a petty nationalism. So, there are not grand plans for an independent nation forging its own path in the world, but rather a self definition in terms of hostility towards England.

Comment Excerpt:

Where did you get this nonsense from? The SNP are not hostile toward England or the English. I certainly am not. True, I'd rather have them as neighbours than housemates. But that is not an indication of hostility. Let them arrange their house as they like, and I'll arrange my house as I like.

Any response: Yes
