Pro Deo Et Imperio

The above is from one of those boring but important/scary articles that give one some idea of quite how badly things are really going. England will prevail, of course. But before that happens we may well have to learn the hard way (once again!) that the only way to wealth, health and happiness is through earning and saving, whereas spending leads only to poverty and misery.

Benjamin Franklin of all people put it well:

It has nothing to do with "sanctimony". Scots nationalists are simply the Scots equivalent of "Little Englanders" - small-minded, xenophobically nationalist, and bigoted!
