Re: Realism
Here in the Republic of Ireland my TV Licence is soon to change to an even move annoying concept : The Public Service Broadcasting Charge. That means it's just going to be a household charge with no opt out possibly collected by the Tax Office.
Ah yes - Ireland - a little failed democracy inflicting tax after tax, and cut after cut on its citizens.
I hope Scotland looks towards Ireland and takes note of what NOT to do after it gains its independence.
