In reply to Donald M: Just a lame attempt at yanking your chain. For once I've actually got more pressing things to do today, so there's no excuse for it at all.
But a thought has just occurred. The Scottish meedja is lamentably shite, in the main. If you got your way and the border actually meant something again, then I assume the BBC, Channel 4 and the few quality UK national papers would end up with significantly less Scottish coverage than the pittance they already have. Where then would we go for real news? the Record? the Sunday Post?
...not intended as a pro-independance argument. Just a hypothetical question.
