Why did he want independence for Scotland?


5 Prime Ministers of the UK were born in Scotland, and I see no evidence of the Scottish people being oppressed.

That was Mel Gibson in the movie, Braveheart. It had nothing to do with Sean Connery

What's really confounding is that Connery was so immensely pro Scotland but yet lived ANYWHERE BUT SCOTLAND.

In contrast, Craig Ferguson left Scotland for America, became an American Citizen, wrote a book about becoming American, was immensely successful in America, so much so he almost replaced David Letterman. And after all that Craig Ferguson moved back to Scotland.

Connery once swore he'd only return to live in Scotland once it was free.

1960s income tax levels may have played a part...

No evidence?
I can only deduce, you must be blind and deaf.

What is your evidence?

Come on dude, open your eyes and cut the bullshit.
Between england and Scotland, who is ruling over the other? Who makes the decisions and holds the bank, parliament, king, army, language, etc.
One is the oppressor, the other is the oppressed.
Make your pick.
