Like most English people, I’m sick to the hind teeth of hearing about and listening to the seemingly endless talk about Scotland, so I’ll make this brief.

When our elected politicians at Westminster address the question of further powers for Scotland they need to remember one thing and one thing above all else. Scotland is not special.

Scotland is the same as the rest of the UK and should be treated no differently. The rights of the Scots are the same as those of the Northern Irish, the Welsh and the English. Nobody is better than anybody else and nobody should be accorded special privileges. We are a democracy and as such we are all equal. Simple.

Not even the Scottish Nationalists could disagree with that. Oh,……………………actually!
