Curiosity of national proportions

[VNA]

Border control...we have a welcome to Scotland sign...our welfare state will put up another sign which says 'I wouldn't bother' in a number of non English languages.

Scotland has a proud tradition of welcoming immigrants and treating them fairly.  I don't see that changing.  Westminster control of Scottish asylum issues was one of a number of issues that seriously damaged Jack McCronic and the last Labour administration in Scotland.

Scotland is already pretty much 'power independent' and grid useage tends to be propped up by France overnight...hey we can run an extension lead over to Norway

Scotland is energy rich, not just in minerals but has a massive and growing electrical over capacity.  England is short of generation, it's an export market for us.
