Speaking only for myself, obviously, no. But this site is about the former and it's rules limit, if not altogether prevent, discussion about the latter*. So it shouldn't be assumed that "we" don't know or care about the Scotland of today.

*And that's fine with me. There are other venues for discussing politics and current events.
