That whole mindset doesn't occur to me. <br /><br />And I was led to believe that Redwood was intelligent!<br /><br />There is, perhaps, a little clue in that quoted sentence about Redwood's whole thinking. He suggests that we want to leave England. One interpretation of these words is that his thinking is that we are at present a part of England. It is the UK from which we want independence, not England.<br /><br />I realise that he was talking about independence of Wales as well as Scotland, and it could be that he meant to 'leave England alone'. But that interpretation ignores Northern Ireland's existence. <br /><br />Of course, you are completely right about the EU situation. Although Euro-sceptics like Redwood tend to give the impression that Brussels controls everything, there are so many areas where it has no say. And perhaps the most important of these is how we raise our money.<br /><br />As for Ruth Davidson apologising: she'll have to wait to find out what David Cameron says to that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-11296334588046436042012-03-20T09:20:57.395+00:002012-03-20T09:20:57.395+00:00Oh Oh

This makes it less likely that people scanning the topics will click on the link.<br /><br /><br />Thanks<br /><br /><br />James McLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
