I don`t know why Sean Connery lived abroad - possibly a mixture of sunshine and golf. He did invest in Scottish projects though. Scotland is a very small goldfish bowl which would make any kind of normal life for an international star like him very uncomfortable. I think even living in London was difficult for him. Reply |

If it’s bad for British patriots to have homes abroad, it’s should also be bad for Scottish nationalists to have homes abroad. I’d argue it’s worse for a Scot Nat to have a home in England - especially London. COYP Reply |

| 27. Author: NMCmassive Date: Thu 8th Oct 2026. 22:17 You do realise Nicola Sturgeon has left the country and is now paying less tax? By that logic, she should no longer try and influence our politics COYP Reply |

| 29. Author: NMCmassive Date: Thu 8th Oct 2026. 22:54 Why not? Why else would the previous leader of the Scottish independence movement move to the capital of England? COYP Reply |
