There was never ever meant to be a referendum on independence and for unionists the fact we're even talking about it, let alone preparing for it happening is intensely painful and plain wrong.<br /><br />I love hearing Johann Lamont longing for it to be got out of the way and the BBC's Raymond Buchanan's exasperated island tones as he is forced to report on "Salmond's referendum" yet again.<br /><br />Last week his sidekick in the BBC Radio Scotland newsroom helpfully asked him "how much longer are we going to have to hear this sort of thing?" <br /><br />They really, really hate it which is why I really, really love it.GrassyKnollingtonnoreply@blogger.com
