Connery calls for Scottish independence
I see actor and best James Bond ever (don't deny it) Sir Sean Connery has reiterated his desire for an independent Scotland, as he accepted a lifetime achievement award at the European Film Awards.
The 75-year-old said he wished he could be accepting the prize, "as if Scotland was independent and had a voice in Europe".
His words were welcomed by the Scottish National Party.
"The SNP are very proud to have the support of Sir Sean," said a spokesperson for the SNP.
"We congratulate him on this prestigious honour."
Sir Sean has said he will not live in Scotland until it is independent.
I agree with Sean Connery. I'd like to see an independent Scotland as well as an independent England.
Come on you Scots! William Wallace and James Bond can't be wrong!
