English move away from being British

I've noticed that Salmond uses divisive language similar to that of Sinn Fein's leaders. He'll often emphasise the word Scotland with the subtext of meaning 'not the United Kingdom' and refer to parliament as Westminster government or London.

You do know what the N in SNP stands for don't you?

I don't have a problem with that. After all, his long-term policy is Scotland's independence and he knows he's got a lot of spadework to do on hearts and minds.

I would rather he tried to get what he wants based on the merits of his ideas instead of being a sly old sod and try and wind people up. Perhaps that is the problem.

You're anger is allowing you to miss the point.

Last I was living at home there's the feeling quality of life is improving. Tolls on bridges removed, frozen council tax small stuff that's too numerous to count. But that's exactly the point for the short time they've been in power and why they've even gained more seats in the last election regardless of their ultimate agenda. People can see change for them more than they ever did from previous governments.

I think the same would be true if London parliament focused on London, oh wait it already does that and only that.

Not quite the point I was making. His language is used to inflame and be generally underhanded. Perhaps a common tactic by those chippy nationalist?

That's what Tory MP after Tory MP said about Scotland for many a decade. The end result is everything to do with them.

Thought the Scots were in control from 1997 - 2010 on both sides of the border anyway.
