Scotland's Independance

[wonderwaif]

At least the English are consistent: they don't believe that Scotland should be independent, and they don't believe that Britain should be independent!

By 'the English' I gather you mean the Government.
The English people were asked if they wanted a 'Common Market', which obviously seemed like a good idea. The complete surrender to Brussels was never presented as an option.

I know. The irony is that the EEA was later invented for countries like Norway that wanted a Common Market but didn't want political union. It seems to me that it fits English (and indeed British) desires quite well.
