Talk about making history! On Thursday September 18, Scotland votes on whether or not to declare independence from the United Kingdom. My guest is Bob Campbell, a Scot who is in the north of England. He doesn’t want a Yes vote because Campbell figures if liberal/left Scotland leaves, that ensures more power to the right wing Tories of Cameron. But why shouldn’t Scotland be the master of it’s own fate? Many smaller countries have done the best in the world: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland. How much of a factor is England’s eagerness to go to wars along with the big US? How would independence affect the Scottish economy? The audio quality across that bid pond is not ideal but give a listen and learn about this momentous decision.
