IT has never been, let’s be honest, “a precious Union”. That slice of self-serving rhetoric is uttered to draw a convenient veil over the current parlous state of the shotgun marriage between the Scottish and English nations. It’s an empty soundbite, (rather like the non-existent “special relationship” with the US), which politicians deploy in knee-jerk fashion to gloss over the unlovely reality of a partnership in the throes of impending divorce proceedings.
