Border battles

Ed MILIBAND need not panic. If there are immigrants Scotland wants but England does not want, we could give them National Insurance numbers from an identified block containing a date that would give them rights in Scotland, but not in England.

If there were a requirement for a stated period of trouble-free residence before immigrants could become full Scottish citizens, a cohort could be granted Scottish, but not UK, citizenship, say, each St Andrew’s Day.
