Another fight for Scottish Independence

**O'Searcaigh** · 11th January 12, 09:31 AM

Fully aware, respectful of and hopefully in compliance with the Board's admonition to leave our politics and religion at the door, and given all the discussions we have seen here that have referred to Scottish history, especially in it's relation to/with England, I could not help but notice the "news" concerning the latest efforts for Scottish independence. But this time it will not be a battle fought with guns and swords by soldiers but rather by laws and words by lawyers. Ahhh, progress! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...dum-QandA.html

I don't think that this could be debated without it becoming political, so I'll get a quick post in before it is shut down.

Not posted to be political--just to post on current news:

I think that reference to the news item is sufficient and therefore this thread has no more relevance that can be kept within the rules.

Thread therefore closed.
