Letter: Call Alex Salmond's bluff over Scottish independence referendum
Cameron has a golden opportunity, I trust he seizes it with both hands, even if it leads to his departure from English politics in view of his Scottish connections.
David Cameron has a golden opportunity, I trust he seizes it with both hands, even if it leads to his departure from English politics in view of his Scottish connections.
Call Salmond's bluff. Give all over 18 born in England a referendum to decide whether the Scots remain within the UK.
If they vote for independence, immediately cancel our financial aid to an ungrateful populace dissatisfied with their lot since time immemorial.
Rather than build a railway line so those in Shropshire reach London 10 minutes earlier, build a wall along the border and man every crossing point with tolls. Set a £100 fee per day per person but offer free departure.
Levy the same tax on any Scot seeking entry by other means, all income from these sources to be used to encourage those who wish to return to their motherland to do so free of charge within ten years.
Ban all Scots from holding positions of authority in English public life when their contracts expire, they have had disproportionate influence for too long, as proved by the previous administration.
This is the time to rid ourselves of a financial albatross. They show little allegiance to the United Kingdom, have had too great a say in English politics and law, and this is the ideal moment to rid ourselves of their influence in all things.
