A weekend in England is all it takes; all it takes to confirm that "they" are not going to put up with "it" forever. "They" are the English and "it" is devolution.
Now, you may think you've heard this before; after all, people like me have been hunting for the English backlash ever since the Scottish Parliament opened for business.
And, frankly, it has been a long time coming. But coming it most definitely is. I was talking to a senior MSP yesterday and his assessment was an accurate one. "They (the English) seem to have gotten really annoyed about this student fees business."
But we may nevertheless relax. Mr Cochrane's article is little more than a puff for a radio programme which he is fronting. It would not have been much of a programme if there had been no backlash, would it?

I love how he heaps praise on the wonderfulness of the English Parliament campaigners. No use of the weasely term 'Nats' for them. Oh no.
