Bare-faced cheek

Well, it looks like the choice open to us in Scotland is to be ruled by Brussels or ruled by London because the SNP don't have the bottle to rule from Edinburgh. They'd rather continue to have someone else to blame post-independence when things don't get better. Nicola Sturgeon wants us to be like Ireland, whose budget is now scrutinised by the EU because they've had to be bailed out of their financial difficulties. If it wasn't so sad it would be laughable - Ireland is the tiger economy which can't even mee-ow these days unless Brussels gives it permission. It is the great Broon's boom and bust writ large, complete with ghost towns. At least their European Affairs Minister still has some teeth, and a good sense of timing. Her intervention today over Scotland's continued EU membership post-independence probably had our Deputy First Minister spitting nails. Serves Nicola right for having the chutzpah to accuse David Cameron of causing business uncertainty and threatening Scottish jobs by calling for a referendum! What a cheek! Does the bare-faced effrontery of the SNP know no bounds? It seems not.
