Scotland's independence?
Is this a good thing or a bad? It seems like a lot of work, what with sorting out the governments, changing budgets, creating a new parliament, registering Scotland for EU, drawing up all sorts of new border rules &c. What about the Queen? Will there be an arrangement a la Australia and Canada? What will we name the no longer United Kingdom?
The worst bit is, all I can think about is the wild notion of the Scots tearing themselves free of the British yoke to plunge headlong back into the world of clans and kilts and lairds and long hair. In my head I see tall red-haired lads striding along the grey streets, sword on one hip, dagger on the other, sgian dhu hidden in knee socks and...*hyperventilates*
I REALLY REALLY REALLY need to stop reading Diana Gabaldon. CLEARLY she is capable of fully unhinging the mind.
