@CloudyMrs @MadeyeTheCarnaptious @Roadwarrior29 very interesting.

We saw, and initially believed the disinformation. However talking to my brother in Edinburgh the agenda and truth didn't match.

Then we started looking at what SNP were doing and more importantly the attitude in politics.

Holyrood cares about and for its people, Westminster see them as purely their route to power, and does not care if they live or die.

Attitude is why we moved to Scotland

@fionaorkneynews @JackTheCat @CloudyMrs everything is relative.

I would argue mid argyll is more remote- 2 hours to the nearest big hospital, whereas Jura (described by Orwell as the most un get to able place) is 20 mins (because everyone gets airlifted). Orkney has its own

Visited Orkney last year, yes it was a long drive, but that's viewed by modern car standards. Flights from Edinburgh and Glasgow are fairly frequent; and you are so well connected by sea (ask the vikings!).

@fionaorkneynews @JackTheCat @CloudyMrs attitude is also vital. Orkney seemed quite cosmopolitan and forward thinking, which is more than I can say for some central belt places.

To me Westminster is more remote, geographically, and attitude wise.

Westminster (and I suspect to a lesser degree holyrood) under appreciate the size of Scotland. Politicians are in their own bubble and thus anywhere outside is "remote". More a symptom of outlook than geography.

@CloudyMrs @peterbrown @simon_brooke @therightarticle

Not sure a monarch could have joint citizenship.....

However they would probably say such matters are only for us plebs and not them. As always.

@peterbrown @CloudyMrs @simon_brooke @therightarticle cos that'll go down well with Charlie boy when we become an independent Republic!
