inherent awfulness of Scotland.
Miserable introspection, crippling self doubt,
Anyone want to add to the list? :-)
The self governing project should have nothing to do with ethnic characteristics.
Is it not the case that we are seeing more 'new Scots'. I doubt they are moving here because they seek awfulness or self doubt.
Some must surely be attracted by something we have. Spending per head is £2k more than rUK so maybe they want that? ;-) Of course we are allegedly the highest taxed nation in UK although if you like pre-paid medicine and education then you can get some back.
(I'm sure spending per head and subsidies to London are 'quite high' too but GERS is designed to load debt north and allocate tax from whisky eg to London's income.)
For those that just want to live in an Anglo-British style in Scotland there are few differences - apart from the legal system and having a Scottish tax code. You can read the right wing papers and watch BBC24. Scottish shoppers support businesses HQd in England like Sainsburys, Tescos etc.
If you have a preference to be governed by BJ or KS then you can be sure of support from most media. Personally I find these options hopeless. Museum of Parliament only has one green MP too so want to stay clear of that.
Rather have an imperfect parliament with more powers here. Scottish incompetence might not be world leading but it will represent what 'we' vote for (yes, BiFAB, CalMac ferries etc are all bad).
All countries have 'disaster' projects - ask Swedes about the rail tunnel that took 10 years to build or a Dane about the library with a leak in Copenhagen.
