Billy Connolly on IndyRef2, 'boring' politics and why he 'hates all that tartan b******s'
independence is a good idea – but he is not a fan of nationalism and thinks the world of politics is both “shabby” and “shoddy”.The Big Yin, who did not back either side in the 2014 referendum, has not ruled out supporting independence in the event of IndyRef2.But he is adamant he will never align himself with any political party.The comedian, who has been a vocal opponent of Scottish independence in the past and refused to attend the opening of the Scottish Parliament, describing it as a “joke”, said: “I think a Scottish republic is as good an idea as I’ve ever heard but I don’t represent anybody or anything and I don’t think it is wise to.“I’ve never liked nationalism in any of its guises.
