Scottish Cringe

When it comes to backing economic losers, the SNP and much of the independence movement, are in a league of their own in wanting to drag Scotland back into the failing European Union with its declining share of world trade.

In a list of the top 100 European companies by value, not a single one was formed in the last 40 years. Also, consider that the EU, in its entire history, has never created an Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Huawei, Microsoft, Tesla or Twitter. The independence movement is crippled by a poverty of ambition for Scotland, a lack of confidence and a huge dose of the debilitating Scottish Cringe.
