Last week the Guardian had a series of thoughtful interviews
with Scottish writers on the topic of Scottish independence (ref). Today the
Independent is carrying an eye-catching article about Prime Minister Cameron
and his acolytes preparing to do battle with the Scottish National Party (ref).
Three hundred years ago Scotland lost its independence in a shameful
process which had more to do with bribery than democracy. Now we finally have a
democratically elected pro-independence government in Scotland, and it is a wee
bit inconsistent of Cameron, so strident about the value of democracy in the
Middle East and anywhere else with trade potential, to oppose its outcome on
his own doorstep.
