I choose Scotland. Tomkins is a Britnat. I am a Scotnat. You can argue the toss on nuclear subs, pensions, the EU, Nordic welfare and border guards until you’re Saltire blue in the face – the real choice is Scotland or Britain. Which do you belong to? Ultimately I believe that question trumps all others and will lie at the heart of the decision facing Scots in the polling station. For Tomkins and all the many other British Scots, it’s as simple as that. For me and the Yes community, it’s that easy. You can add in all sorts of aspirations and side allegiances if you like. I believe for example that independence will unleash Scotland’s entrepreneurial spirit and our latent egalitarianism so that independence is a route to that end but my main motivation above all others is that Scotland is my country. And, if you need to hear it – Britain is not my country.
