    Ah but he promised nothing really other than "Get Braxit Done and move on" so the move on was effectively a blank cheque

    But yes, SNP have done very well, which I guess is something to cheer about! Takes your independence a step closer to the inevitable reality...

    A couple of quick questions, which no doubt will show my ignorance on the subject, but would "Scexit" (see what I did there), definitely be a good thing? How will trade with Europe work out then? Hopefully the Scottish people won't be subjected to all the "we'll be so much better off independent" bollox that Boris spouted.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Pay slightly more and you can get a detached house, though that period villa does look quite nice. It can be rather cold though - sufficient to put a downer on the enterprise, unless one hopes for global warming.

    Well.. the idea revolves around getting mortgage free really, so might as well stay put.
    However here’s another pie in the sky idea

I just do not understand what or how devolution from the Union will benefit Scotland. Also from my understanding the SNP as part of separation wants the remainder of the UK to give a substantial amount of money to Scotland, for what reason? Maybe I do not understand all the issues but are we really going back hundreds of years in time and what for?

    Anyway that is all I am going to say on the subject, and hopefully have not upset too many of you.

    The expression ‘better together’ seems to be receding in importance.
    Not to mention how quickly we forget the lessons learnt from conflicts in the not so distant past.
    It’ll all come round to bite us on the bum one day.
    I have a cunning plan.
    Scotland stays in the EU and England,Wales and NI become part of Scotland run from Edinburgh

    I have another plan. The SNP starts putting up candidates in English elections from now on, subject to resources. Probably target seats where the Cons have limited strength. Otherwise dictator Boris and any who follow him can just keep saying nyet to any proposals about Scotland, even if the whole of Scotland turns yellow.

    Re becoming mortgage free and living in Kirkcaldy, I’ve a friend who lives there - says it’s OK - but he’s retired and doesn’t have to work. Mortgage free is a good idea, but not everyone can do that. Overpay the mortgage as much as you can, and sink any windfall sums of money into it, and you might get there. Not everyone is fortunate enough to do this, though. The strategy I mentioned re over payments will help in any case, providing living doesn’t become too grim. The strategy you’re thinking of - moving to an area with lower property values can work, provided you can survive - for example keep a job, or other circumstances are OK. Moving to an area with lower property values will probably only work for you if you’d actually like living in the new area. Moving back to the original area, if you ever thought about that, could be hard or impossible. I know of people who moved to a new area, didn’t like it, and then moved back - an expensive procedure.
    Dave
