David Cameron and his Cabinet are meeting in Scotland today, I think I am correct in saying that meetings of the Cabinet outside of London in modern times, was something started by Gordon Brown in 2008, before that the last time a Cabinet meeting was held outside London was 1921. |

Roy - no doubt issues of independence were on the agenda, the main issue according to the news reports was that of North Sea Oil, hence the location being Aberdeen. |

I think the point is that the cost of a day out in Scotland for Cameron is money well spent (IF) it helps to keep Scotland part of the UK |

“The name Cameron might mean ‘crooked nose’ but the clan motto is ‘Let us unite’, and that is exactly what we in these islands have done.” So said the Prime Minister earlier this month, evoking his Scottish and English roots in an impassioned plea to keep the countries together as part of the United Kingdom'. |

Just for the record I am in the "No Camp" but I am strongly in favour of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland - each having their own national governments responsible for their own domestic affairs. |

David Cameron going to Scotland and not meeting up with Scotland's First Minister is just bad manners. |
