That question/

From today's Telegraph.

Could it be that one day, not too far off, the English will embark on a boycott of Scotch whisky, turning instead to the Irish or the American or, if all else fails, the Spanish stuff? Might a time come when English housewives exile Scottish products from their trolleys? Could the Scotch egg have had its day?

I ask these questions as a British journalist resident in Barcelona who has spent time in Britain recently talking to people about the West Lothian question. And I ask not in a fanciful spirit, because I have seen how here in Spain people have set about an aggressive, organised and extraordinarily effective boycott of Catalan goods on grounds rather less pressing than the undemocratic Westminster practice of allowing Scottish MPs to vote on English laws over which they manifestly should have no say.
