... which is why the whole separatist case is nuts. It’s just a short hop, skip and a jump from here, to seps convincing themselves, and then each other, that Westminster is the Wastemonster, which has racked up debts against Scotland’s will, and which Scotland therefore has the right to walk away from. Righteous fury is magnified in the echo chamber of places like Twatter and Wingnuts over Scotland, and then leaks out onto the more open and balanced bits of the internet (Like right here) where said Nats simply can’t understand why their devastating logic isn’t accepted at face value.

I have read nothing here in recent days that wasn’t posted, and rebutted, in this thread a thousand times over in the run up to 2014. All the usual self-serving arguments are in play, suggestions that every argument for the union will be received on “the doorstep” with outrage and new converts to separation, suggestions that Scotland is trapped in an English empire, suggestions that Scotland has a right to expect to break up the union and walk away with its share of the assets but without its share of the debt ... absolute bat crazy nonsense.
