of that heritage. we were treated so badly and we have been treated so badly time and time and time and time again. let me push back impartially and firmly on what you're saying, because the proponents of the union would argue that there is, nevertheless, for all the history you are talking about, there is something precious and sacred about the union and moreover, that it allows each constituent nation to be bigger than it otherwise would be, especially in a world where power is moving east. i don't agree with you. it's not my view. i'm impartial. it's not my view. my feeling is it's precisely that we have not being allowed to be who we are and we haven't been. we've served. we've served and we've judiciously served at our own expense. and i suddenly realise, you see, i do believe we should be a union. i agree with that. but we shouldn't be the united kingdom. we should be a united federation.
