It was a key concession in the act of union that Scotland kept a seperate legal system.

If you want to look at people who started the chain of events, prehaps the first place to look would be the avowed English nationalist Margaret Thatcher.Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13574173214924437278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738845518977466560.post-80280209051208516532011-05-18T14:26:37.016+01:002011-05-18T14:26:37.016+01:00Maybe it is we English who should be encouraging S...Maybe it is we English who should be encouraging Scotland to leave the UK.

Tony Blair has started the chain of events that will lead to the break up of the UK.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083743871772130579noreply@blogger.com
