Ah. Out here in the federation of penal colonies - the anti-poads, what we have heard, of the arguments and predictions of the leaders of the parliamentary parties of the english parliament, makes it appear that the english parliament believes that if Scotland votes for independence, then England will be broken off the island and cast adrift, and drift to the edge of the world, and fall off, to disappear forever, leaving only Scotland and Ireland remaining, and, England existing nevermore (I think it was an english raven, that cried out "Nevermore"). -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
