[quote=Unionist;498190]You have selected only one out of my several points, Andrew, which hardly constitutes a decisive rebuttal.

As regards the argument you did pick up, the significance of that particular point is that over a long period of time the Scots and English have effectively intermingled a lot and moved freely across Britain, thus lots of English people have a Scots heritage and the Union is a demographic fact as well as a political fact.

Lots of Australians have English and Scottish heritage, yet Australia is an independent country. Ditto Canada and New Zealand.

Half of my family is from Scotland but I want English independence. The demographics mean sweet FA!
