Your correspondent Ray Moseley wrote in his Sept. 12 report (Main news) on the Scottish vote to establish a parliament of its own that there has been a “loss of a sense of Britishness . . . particularly marked in the younger generation.”
Although it is certainly true that the election result reflects a heightened sense of Scottishness among the young, there has been no loss of Britishness. The Scots are as British as the English and Welsh. All of us live on a single island, named Great Britain. The issue is political estrangement, not geographic alienation.
