I can't believe we've had Gordon Brown as prime minister for some time now, in this extraordinary situation where he makes laws for the English but they don't have consequences on the whole for his constituents, and has there been any debate in Parliament? I thought when that happened the Conservatives would stop altogether and say 'we can't go on like this, this is impossible', that they would make it impossible for another member of Parliament from Scotland to be prime minister. But they haven't done that at all. They've taken it like lambs.

I have a feeling that people in Scotland are beginning to realise that the English don't care very much, and that one of the attractions of Scottish nationalism was that the English would be very very peeved about it, and now they're beginning to realise that the English aren't peeved and they're beginning to panic that if the English aren't peeved it might not be a very good idea.
