The Scottish Referendum…Quintin Oliver Steps In!

The Scotland Question
There is a surprising number of threads about Scottish independence on Norn Irons third best political website. In part this is tribal……Norn Irons unionists will, by default back a “United Kingdom” and oppose Scottish independence. Irish nationalists of course oppose … Continue reading
