addendum
I hadn’t planned to return to this topic, and it is probably a bad idea to blog when fizzing. However:
Over on Facebook someone has just commented that anyone voting ‘No’ clearly relinquishes the right to call themselves Scottish. I can’t believe that anyone of sense could say something so profoundly stupid. Leave aside that, if the polls are correct, that means that somewhere over 50% of Scots are dismissed as ‘not Scots’, it veers perilously close to any other ideology that asserts that identity is based on some defining marker of belief, and that if you hold some other belief, well, you’re not really pure are you? Not one of us.
We have had plenty of that over the centuries and it is about the last thing that we should be dealing with now.
