Jeez Warbler, I've obviously struck a nerve.
I'm not going to get into a slagging match, especially after seeing clive posting his most civilised posts ever.
But I do want to point out a couple of things.
First, the blog I linked to is not mine. I don't know whose it is, I just thought it was interesting because I do think the dire warnings about Scotland's future are overdone, even if Nick is right that the immediate aftermath of a Yes vote would be difficult.
Second, I deliberately kept out of this debate until now but thought it was ok to contribute now that everyone who's going to vote has already made up their mind.
Third, I was not trying to "reach out to Scotland using catholicism". In fact I was doing the opposite, I was trying to suggest that the factors which pushed the Irish out of the UK are not in play in Scotland in this day and age.
Finally, neither the blogger I linked to nor myself is 'Ireland' and I'm not aware of any campaign launched from Ireland to influence the referendum result.
