UNTIL recently, I have not taken much notice of the forthcoming Scottish referendum mainly because it did not really bother me which way the vote went.
But now the debate has really taken off I have paid it more notice and what baffles me is how such a brave and historic nation and its people can be so gullible and brainwashed.
Even I — an ordinary working-class man in the street — can see right through Scotland’s First Minister, Alex Salmond.
He has a towering anti-British personal vendetta.
The Scottish people are being used as his weapon. He will stop at nothing — even to the extent of using the youth of tomorrow by lowering the voting age to 16.
And then he accuses the British government of getting worried.
