Given his previously declared American predilections, Mr Smith highlights the "prediction" from US American political commentator of longstanding John McLaughlin on his programme the McLaughlin Group that "in this coming year, 2008, Scotland will declare its independence from the United Kingdom ...."
This is probably not unrelated to recent visits by Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond to the US, but Mr Smith feels obliged to point out the prediction of the self same Mr McLaughlin in advance of May's Scottish Parliament elections during his programme broadcast the weekend of 29-29 April 2007 that "I predict that nationalists in Scotland will fail in their attempts to create an independent nation."
.... Er ..... emmm .... Mr Smith thinks he got something wrong somewhere ...
