No se si sabreis quien es Jeremy Clarkson. Es el presentador (entre otros programas) de Top Gear, un programa mítico de la BBC, muy divertido, sobre coches.
En España, lo echa Discovery Channel y ahora Cuatro por las mañanas.
Bien pues es inglés (y tiene cierta influencia mediática), y esto es lo que opina sobre Escocia:
"Let us examine the benefits of this. In the last election the Scottish National party, which wants independence from England, took nearly 20% of the vote in Scotland. Add this lot to the non-voters who also want to go their own way and you realise there is significant support north of the border for Hadrian’s Wall to be rebuilt.
Economically, the SNP thinks Scotland would be fine. I don’t know why, since Scottish public spending is 33% higher per head than it is in the southeast of England. But on its website, the party says that Ireland is independent and is the “fourth most prosperous country in the world” (really?) and that Iceland, another small independent state, is the “sixth most prosperous country in the world”. (Apart from being totally bankrupt, obviously.) Let’s not get bogged down, though. The upsides go on and on. Without Scotland on the electoral map, Cameron would have a majority in the House of Commons, so he could lose the Cleggawallah, we’d never again have a Scottish prime minister and Scotland would become abroad — which would make it an exotic holiday location.
I think we could take this further. Why not draw the boundary between England and Scotland at York? This way, the SNP would feel that William Wallace’s sacrifice hadn’t been in vain and, better still, all the northern English constituencies could be governed by the sort of left-wing, wetland- habitat, save-the-bat and build-a-wind farm government they seem to like so much.
So what, you might be thinking, is in it for those who remain — the Welsh and those in the south of England? Well, there’s no doubt that letting Scotland go would be very painful, especially after 300 years of friendship. But what are the alternatives? The NHS? The Ministry of Defence?
No. I’m afraid it has to be Scotland. It costs the UK £5 billion a year and saving that, on top of the £6 billion in cuts from the fat elsewhere, would go a long way towards solving our debt crisis.
Oil? Well, obviously the Scottish oil companies such as, er, whatever they’re called, will continue to pump the black gold into Aberdeen while the others, such as BP and Shell, could simply divert their pipelines to Kent. That’s fair. Oh, and we’d have to move the Trident submarine fleet as well.
I want to make it plain to my Scottish readers that I do not want to throw you onto the cutting-room floor. I shall miss you with your funny skirts and your ginger hair. The SAS will miss you, too, since over the years 75% of its soldiers are said to have been from north of the border. But we simply cannot afford to stay together any more. Goodbye, then, and good luck".
Para quien no sepa ingles viene a decir lo que expone leka. Se gasta mucho dinero en Escocia, y cree que sin ellos, la cosa iría mucho mejor. Bueno también suelta algunas perlas bastante divertidas
En definitiva, quiere que Escocia se separe de Inglaterra. El artículo es mas largo, por si alguien le interesa:
