More reasons for Scottish independence




Back in Scotland, the SNP conference has just finished, with a buoyant Alex Salmond further unveiling the details of his vision for independence in the run-up to next September’s referendum (ref).

Simultaneously, Tory leaders-in-waiting George Osborne & Boris Johnson have been pontificating in their inimitable, London-centric, reactionary and socially divisive way, as they return from their fishing trip to China, seemingly intoxicated by what they’d been shown, though possibly both a little confused between cause & effect.

Speaking from the airport, Osborne was grandly pressing "second-rate Britain" to emulate China and return to the glory-days of the Victorian era (ref) despite the lack of an empire to exploit, whilst cuddly jackal Johnson seemingly still hopes to plough eye-watering amounts of the money we don't have into more mega airports for London (ref), perhaps to make it easier for wealthy Chinese investors to come and admire the Queen and the dodgy business practices of her heir (ref).  Who needs friends when the SNP have opponents such as these ?
