I can't really say why this mattered to me so much - except that I have always felt the importance of solidarity, and that separation from Scotland would not be in our interests, or theirs, and that the plans for their economy outside the EU were uncosted, and really messy. It was, as 1066 and All That says "Wrong but Romantic" and definitely not the best way to respond to globalisation. But a lot of what I feel is emotional too - and it is best summed up in this fantastic speech by Gordon Brown!

He looks great in motion - this picture doesn't do full justice to him. Surely it's a crime crying to heaven for vengeance that he isn't Prime Minister or something....
All together now Will ye no come back again, will ye no come back again, Better loved ye canna be, will ye no come back again?
