It is apparently a thing.
With less than two weeks to go until Scotland’s referendum, polls suggest an increase in those favoring independence from the United Kingdom, with one survey for the first time putting the “yes” vote ahead.
I don’t really have that much of an opinion, except to note that the apparent willingness of the English to let Scotland go if the vote goes that way is a bit of a change, historically speaking. Typically England always did its best to keep the damned place.
