That will be difficult, as apart from nostalgia, the financial narrative is the only one.
Of course Scotland could go it alone, but not on todays terms.
No doubt, if Scotland did vote for independence, but didn’t get the financial settlement they sold the populous, they’d just blame the English, for now and forever. Whatever happens it will always be our fault.
