Act of Union

So some Scots want full independence. In 1707 Scotland and England mutually signed the Act of Union with neither party being under duress to do so. Now one of the countries wants to change that union. Is it not right that the English should be given a say as to their preference?

As an Englishman I am proud to be united with Scotland, why change?

Perhaps it is sobering to think that in the 1860s a nation was torn apart by civil war due to succession!

Mr Salmond would be well advised to leave this United Kingdom well alone.
