FOLLOWING a momentous day of voting in Scotland on the issue of independence, it has been revealed that as many as 55% of the population are suffering from what is commonly referred to as Stockholm Syndrome.
Held captive since the 1700s many Scottish people confessed that the had grown fond or their captors despite many people cautioning them that they had fallen into the trap of Stockholm Syndrome.
Symptoms include believing English people really like Scotland, not being able to properly identify when a politician is lying, and failing to see that English people saying I really like Whiskey and shortbread is completely disingenuous.

would have to put out money if they voted Yes on leaving the UK.
Buying new maps, new stationary, and other things. Can you see a frugal Scot doing that?

I think 99% of Americans suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. Scotland is owned by England, and the US is owned by Wall street. We even let cops kill, beat, and steal from us everyday. But we're better off with them, right? Right?
