So, it's all about you guys then?
You've not stopped to think about us in Scotland? About us living under Tory governments we didn't elect, or Labour governments masquerading as Tories? You've not considered the nuclear weapons a stone's throw from a massive population centre (massive by our standards, I accept, not yours)? You're not thinking that while we spend half a million a day on nuclear weapons, half the kids in Glasgow are living in poverty? You're not thinking about how Scotland's fishermen and farmers are downgraded in the EU by being represented, not by their own ministers, but by English ministers?
You're not thinking about the oil fund that almost every other country (or region) with oil has set up, and that Britain hasn't, because it chose instead to try to perpetuate its glory days of Empire, but like an elderly Thespian has been reduced to a supporting role in America's show?
If I understand you right it's what you'd lose that is important to you. It's Britain's loss that is the basis of your fund raiser for Better Together.
And you're bringing this plea for us to stay, and for us not to diminish your country to our capital?
OK. Just wanted to be clear about that.
Of course it is your right to do this. You are an Englishman. You are a committed member of the Labour party and a friend of Tony Blair, who is already committed to running for London Mayor in 2020. You are a member of the smart set in London. You are a very talented and intelligent performer. You are, I suppose, what passes for a star of a sort, and you travel the world entertaining. Why not Edinburgh?
I'm sure because you have a large fan base, that your show will be a big success.
You will doubtless fill the Festival Theatre and raise money for your cause so that your country won't be diminished by my country leaving it to try to find prosperity for its population.
Just watch, though, that some of the things you have said about the British Empire in your previous acts don't come back to bite you on the backside.
We do have a flag.
