Anything more would be a bonus.<br /><br />We have to look at the 56 seats in 2015 as being a freak result. There were a lot who voted SNP then, I reckon, to sooth their consciences for having voted against independence: "I'm still Scottish - don't you folk in London take me for granted!" But they'll switch over to Mummy England when it matters.<br /><br />We have to remember that they've always been with us: it's the country's curse. There were Scots on the English side at Bannockburn, because it was in their interest. But bit by bit, through keeping going, we'll put an end to the union. Where we are now was the dream of the independence movement even 20 years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-59647435537978088352019-11-26T14:44:48.526+00:002019-11-26T14:44:48.526+00:00Who on earth says Rumpuk is the originator state? ...Who on earth says Rumpuk is the originator state?

I wish folk that ought to know better would try to manage expectations otherwise there will be many disappointed people on December 13.
