Just in case any of your readers think we Scots lost our sense of humour during the referendum, not only did 28 out of 32 local authorities record a 60% ‘no’ vote (meaning 70% of the population did not vote Yes), we have hopefully kept our sense of humour and many are appalled at the attempt to subvert Lewes’s ancient effigy burning ceremony, by the nationalists and my old school colleague Alex Salmond.

So well done to the people who blew one of the dummies up.

The message to Wee Eck should be ‘lighten up or be lit up’. Rule Britannia!
