No returns, please

AMONGST the 2200-plus reader comments prompted by The Economist's controversial cover article on Scottish independence the week before last, there was a heartfelt plea by an English correspondent for all Scots currently in England to be repatriated – "including all those infesting Westminster with their socialist nonsense",

"You can have Brown and all his cronies," he/she later adds. "I don't care what you do with them. Will you also take back the Tennent's Super drinkers too please?" No thanks –we have enough of them already.
