Creeping into Scotland Would you be happy to welcome Berwick into Berwickshire
50% Yes. it's a great idea
47% No, Berwick is part of England and should remain so
3% I have no opinion either way
is the result of this week's update in the
Berwickshire News of the great Welcome to Berwickshire running poll. Keeping Ber Wick English is now a minority choice. My weekly No vote seems to be making little difference so I wonder who is voting Yes twice? Its not the eccentric Mr Ritchie, the self-styled Regent of the Kingdom of Scotland. He believes that Berwick never left Scotland as a result of the Treaty of Something (Morrisons?) in 13 something.
The 'I have no opinion either way' is holding his ground and may well be voting every day to reinforce his lack of opinion.
Possibly a member of the a new Borders Party;
The IndifferentsI may vote for them at the next election. Or I may not.
I don't really care
One way or the other
