Och - naw!

So the Scots have spoken - and now the fun begins.  It would be nice if we could now turn the page on this particular issue, and talk about something else, but I fear not.  This may be the end (for the time being at least) of the Scottish independence issue, but just the start of an argument about the extent to which all of us should or should not be ruled from Westminster.  One of William the Conqueror's first acts was to centralise power to himself in London, and it's been a bone of contention ever since.  If it brings home to Westminster that there's a country out there beyond the M25, and that they're responsible for it, then perhaps some good will have come out of the Scottish independence circus.
