The idea of an independent Scotland is no different than the idea that the UK is not a natural and beneficial member of the European Union. Both ideas are misguided and mistaken. Greater integration of commerce, politics and citizenship is desirable. It is the objective of gobalisation and the integration of humanity into a single, co-operating community. There is nothing wrong with promoting cultural identity and uniqueness. Scots can play all the bagpipes and eat all haggis they want. English Eurosceptics can love Tony Hancock and drink all the tea they desire. Yet should they want to withdraw from integrated markets, they in their corrupt nostalgic ideology, are returning to the ideas of protectionism and narrow pursuit of national interests that spawned the most destructive cataclysims of the C20th, the world wars. When times were good we talked of a world economy that delivered prosperity on a fair and moral platform, of integration and shared wealth. Let us not return to the evils of segregation, nationalism and isolation. Say no to a return to the fractured state of little Britain, little Scotland, little......
