Scotland has voted against independence, and YC for one views this as very good news indeed. This is on several fronts:
- economically - it would have been lunacy for Scotland to divorce itself from the powerhouse that is in London. When North Sea oil starts to dwindle, Scotland would struggle to support itself.
- from the heart - YC is proud to say he is British. This would have been diminished by Scottish independence.
- sport - YC supports Scotland at rugby and has done so for years. But supporting an independent Scotland with Alex Salmond leading the way, would have been a step too far. Also, Team GB could have been deprived of the Scottish men & women who have contributed to recent successes at The Olympic Games and The European Championships.
So three cheers for the UK, and let's move forward as The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
