The Blue And White Cell

[exile]

In every Scottish brain, there has been a tiny blue-and-white cell which secretes an awareness:

“My country was independent once.”

And every so often, the cell has transmitted a minute, often almost imperceptible pulse:

“Would it not be grand, if one day…”

But this stimulated other larger, higher-voltage cells around it to emit suppressor charges:

“Are you daft? Get real; we’re too wee, too poor, that shite’s for Wembley or the movies.”

One way of describing what’s happening to Scotland now is to say that the reaction of those inhibitor cells has grown weak and erratic. Whereas the other pulse, the blue-white one, is transmitting louder, faster, more insistently...
