Glasgow No Longer English: It's Official
Addendum to yesterday - we couldn't help notice Simon Jenkins article today 'While Labour Howls, the Union is Busy Disintegrating' (if only).
The article includes the following fabulous analysis:
"Today Edinburgh and Glasgow are emphatically no longer "English" places. As my colleague, Julian Glover, noted on this page yesterday, newspapers, broadcasts and public debates are Scottish, as are books, exhibitions, design and architecture. Scottish conversation with the English is not a long whinge, as once it was. It has confidence. This year's Edinburgh festival seemed for the first time to be in a country called Scotland, not in a part of Britain...The truth of Scotland's economy is that, like most of Salmond's voters, it depends on London money and must be weaned off it."
What can you say to that?
