The British establishment, the politicos, the luvvies, and the worthies, trotted up to Scotland to tell us how loved Scotland was, how precious Scotland was. They told us with earnest faces and eyes on the verge of tears that they didn’t want to lose us. They told us how much we meant to them. Stay with us Scotland, they pleaded. Stay with us and lead within this family of nations. Stay with us and have a seat at the top table. Stay with us and punch above your weight.
