A fine, fast, and frosty run through the woods this morning.
The Scottish independence debate is very compelling from a Scottish
perspective, maybe less so elsewhere, so I will try not to bang on about it too
much. Nevertheless, the unedifying sight of Ed Miliband grasping the Etonian
coat tails of David Cameron to try and resist Alex Salmond’s steady progress
towards greater independence can’t pass without comment. Behind all the waffle
about being “bad for Britain”, Cameron clearly wants the
oil revenue, possibly the water, and somewhere to park his nuclear submarines, whilst Miliband wants unity because an independent Scotland would take away a big
chunk of his ailing Labour support. Obviously, the spectacle of a Camerband pushmi-pullyu will
bring the Labour voters back in droves. Clever tactic, Ed. Meanwhile today,
with his finger on the pulse of what is good & bad for Britain, Cameron has
flown off to sell more guns to the Saudis (ref).
