So, Scotland voted today on whether they want independence from us or not. Does anyone from England care about the result? I don’t think so. It’s not like we’re going to go to war with Scotland if they decide to go it alone!
If they want to be independent, good luck to them. I wish England had the chance to be independent from the rule of Westminster! All of the major political parties have messed things up so it’s no wonder that the independence campaign has done so well in Scotland.
Maybe it’s time for things to change in England as well as in Scotland. Roll on 2015 and the next general election. 😀

If Scotland does vote for independence, then the Tory government will be blamed for allowing the UK to split up. That can’t be bad.
Personally I think there is greater strength in unity. Not long now before we know. 🙂

Now they’re being blamed for promising Scotland too much. 🙂
There may be greater strength in unity but it would have been interesting to see what changes there would be if they’d voted for independence. It might have done England some good too though the backlash from the government’s promises might well lead to some positive changes for us.
I do not understand why our own government will not treat English people fairly.

Short answer, because they are Tories with sufficient hubris to think they always know best.
It will be interesting to see, having supported the referendum outcome in Scotland, how any of the parties can fail to support a referendum on Europe.

Yes, you are right. As for the referendum on Europe, I’m sure they’ll find way to wriggle out of it. At least UKIP have put the cat among the pigeons.

Thank you Marie. It has been difficult to find enthusiasm for my blog after being turned into a zombie for a couple of months and not caring about anything creative. The apathy seems to have stayed with me, unfortunately. It’s easy to let a couple of days turn into a couple of weeks particularly when you think nobody is bothered, or even notices, whether you post or not. My book has gone completely out of the window. Probably would have been wiser not to have mentioned I was writing one.
I’ve got next week off work so I’ll try to do something interesting to write about. I still need to post about my visit to York. 🙂
Hope that you and Tony are well. We must meet for lunch with Susan when I’m back at work. xx
