For all the moaning from the local government led by that fishy bloke from Labour, (and why not choose to be governed by local people?), the Scottish in general have been automatically bailed out for almost every year of the three hundred that the union has existed... With precious little complaint from the English (or more accurately London, which includes many ex-pat Scots)...<br /><br />I wonder if the Greeks thought that when they joined in a so-called union with Germany (and others), that it would behave in the accepted manner and automatically bail them out?<br /><br />Perhaps the Scots have noticed this, and know which side of the bread is buttered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-20849249409093624722013-06-16T14:36:22.966+01:002013-06-16T14:36:22.966+01:00Article 50 is indeed the way to go...Article 50 is indeed the way to go...TheBoilingFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791961503315586243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-67498939238660652222013-06-16T14:36:00.560+01:002013-06-16T14:36:00.560+01:00I would agree that he won't win, for someone w...I would agree that he won't win, for someone who has spent so much of his life fighting for the cause he's woefully ill-prepared.TheBoilingFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791961503315586243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-41476394280276847142013-06-16T08:38:50.987+01:002013-06-16T08:38:50.987+01:00"On Day One of [unilateral withdrawal] how wi...
