From a reader:

I’m an American in London. Scotish (and Welsh, for that matter)
independence could not come soon enough. There is a massive transfer
of wealth from the value-creating southeast to blighted housing
“estates” kept in such condition by the scots refusal to allow their
economy to differ meaningfully from the status quo at the turn of the
century. Independence means they get to operate unprofitable coal
mines to their hearts’ content while I enjoy the fruits of permanent
Conservative government. Bring it on!
