That Niall Ferguson article...
Thanks to Tarquin who sent me the link to the Niall Ferguson's musings in the Sunday Telegraph.
To those of you who have missed this stramash Ferguson is a shameless self-publicist and Harvard academic who chose Hogmanay to put the boot into Scotland - calling for its liquidation.
The column is actually quite an entertaining piece, bunkum, but entertaining none-the-less. I should imagine that Ferguson is very happy with the rabid reaction that he has stirred up among Scottish Nationalists (see Herald and Scotsman).
Guys, the poor bugger grew up in Ayr - no wonder he's such a miserable bastard.

I shared a house with a Scot like Niall when I lived in the Netherlands. My house-mate went as far as to say if he could get the Scottish blood taken out and English blood put in he'd do it. When I asked him why he hadn't any real answer, he was (and probably still is) just a bigot. Niall on the otherhand sounds depressed, frustrated and / or out of his tree.
By the way, the Herald article was the better, I felt.
I was amused see that the adverts running beside this article were for Scottish Hogmanay holidays and tartan goods!!
