It’s never been easy, making a living in Scotland. In recent
decades, there has been the oil to hold up the economy and before that there
were all those UK-based public service jobs (including the army) that provided consistent
employment.
Of course, many of the Scots being fine entrepreneurs,
historically it was England and the British Empire that provided many with a
platform to exploit their talents (including my own ancestors).
Presumably the oil won’t last for ever, so, unhitched from
England and Wales – with a YES vote looking more and more likely – their best
chance would seem to be in the EU, assuming that the EU keeps them on.
Scotland the Brave? My old boss, Bill Weithas, always used
to equate bravery with high risk.
It’s their choice. Roll on September 18.
