And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You’ve come to fight as free men… and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? — Braveheart
Scotland voted today on whether or not to remain a part of the United Kingdom, and the polls showed the question too close to call.
At what point do you look at a union that has lasted for centuries and say “Enough”? Is there a point where peaceful revolution has failed, but armed rebellion is not yet necessary? Is there a point beyond which a government can push its people without fracturing?
I wish the people of the United Kingdom luck no matter what the vote says tonight. No-one wants to see hatred and violence.

/ September 21, 2014It’s not so much a point beyond which the government cannot push their people, rather a point beyond which the Scottish National Party cannot push the rest of the country.
I’m a Celt by birth but the way Alex Salmond, his party and supporters behaved makes me want England (yes, you read that right) to gain independence from the Scots.
