Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

aye we should - Scotland and the Scottish question may feature heavily in my weekly nonsensical mutterings this week, mainly because its important and I've got nothing else to write about - all 4 of my readers will be thrilled, I can tell.

"The British Question That is only Being Asked Of The People Who Live In Scotland"

Plenty non-Scots being asked and plenty Scots not being asked. The reason it's not being asked outside of Scotland is because the rUK wants to be considered a continuator state. That is they want to keep going as the UK and we leave. In this case if they asked everyone, what would happen if nobody in Scotland wanted to go and the rest of the UK voted for our independence? That's being thrown out, not leaving and would bring up all sorts of issues.

If it was simply a dissolution of the UK with two brand new successor states then they would have been able to ask everyone, but the UK would have to renegotiate all of their treaties, their share of the debt, etc.
