How could we ever have a referendum on Scottish independence without including one of the most famous Scots of all time?

(Sorry, William Wallace)

The beloved Simpson’s character Groundskeeper Willie, famed for his inexplicably ripped torso and his abrasive attitude, has popped up in a video chiming in on the debate.


Although he doesn’t explicitly state it, it’s fairly apparent which side he is supporting, be it ‘the right one, or the obviously wrong one’.

The video, posted to the show’s official Youtube channel, does actually make some legitimate points concerning the referendum, including highlighting Scotland’s vast natural oil reserves.



Willie also cheekily suggests that should Scotland win independence the population should consider him as their new leader over Alex Salmond.

Finally, he adds: ‘I’ve lived in America most of my life, so I’ve seen first hand how not to run a country.’

If only all politicians were as honest as he is.
