Scotland - A Nation Divided?

In this morning's Scotsman there's a lead article under the headline 'Ain't No Stopping Us Now - SNP leader taunts Brown'. It's the usual stuff about independence is inevitable, it's the will of the people, we're being squeezed of money, what about the black gold and the SNP, ‘we're the party of enterprise’. The Scotsman allows comments on most of its stories and this morning there are 84 separate posts that range from bigoted rants to some quite thoughtful expressions both for and against the SNP. It certainly isn't all in support but it clearly shows a nation divided or does it? At least thirty of the 84 posts are from people that live outside Scotland, and most of those are not people living in England. Interesting that they have so much to say about the whole independence question.
