There has been a rise recently in English resentment at the perceived suppression of England in favor of Scotland and the other “home nations.” ConservativeHome terms it the Rise of the English Lion. Meanwhile, if you want a brilliantly laid-out English case for Scots independence, try Simon Heffer’s tract, “Nor Shall My Sword Sleep.” He says,

Letting Scotland leave the Union, if it wishes to go, would not be the ultimate act of constitutional defeatism: it would be, on any number of levels, one of the rare smart moves the English had ever made for them.

As a Unionist, this saddens me, but the case is getting stronger by the day.
