Superb Assorted celebs are being flown in to make the message clearer, because anyone who has ever written a pop song knows more about what is good for Scotland than the people of Scotland. I certainly ought to apologise for using these crappy marriage-type metaphors because actually the union does not work like a marriage. It’s more like long forgotten ex who we assumed held a candle for us but who we have basically ignored. Where was all this sentiment when parts of Scotland were being thrown on the scrapheap during the 80s and 90s? The decline of steel and shipbuilding was spoken about as necessary for the new kind of country we were to become. Whose country was now to make money by shifting money, not metal? The City of London, not the nation of Scotland. Now there is a dreadful English sentimentality for some mountains and lochs as though our local leisure facility is threatened with closure. theguardian/commentisfree/2014/sep/08/england-love-bombing-scotland-no-vote-westminster?CMP=twt_gu
