`:::::::::: Another attempt to reframe what I said and set up a straw man, a favourite Hogbin tactic.  As I have repeatedly made clear, I am not a nationalist and am very happy (having been an active campaign worker for Better Together) with the outcome of the referendum.  However, the point is that the Edinburgh Agreement makes it very clear that Scotland could have become independent, and that is totally at variance with your untruthful claim that: ``Texas at least has a legal case for secession (sic), Scotland has none``.  I cite it because it is very important to underline the fact that you continue to show dishonesty (and a disregard for the sources which do not suit you) in the claims that you are making.  If you do not respect the truth then, I suggest, you should not be contributing here.     `
