London, Oct 25 (Inditop.com) Mohamed al-Fayed, the Egyptian multimillionaire who owns the London superstore Harrods, says he wants to be president of Scotland if and when it becomes an independent country.
“When you Scots have your independence, I’m ready to be your president. I mean it,” he told the Sunday Times in an interview, promising Scots all help to free them from their “terrible [English] politicians”.
The Egyptian tycoon, who owns the 65,000-acre Balnagwn estate in the Scottish Highlands, told the paper he will erect a life-size bronze statue of the mythological founder of Scotland, Princess Scota.
“You Scots have been living in a coma for too long,” he told the paper.
“It is time for you to wake up and detach yourself from the English and their terrible politicians. Whatever help is needed for Scotland to regain its independence, I will provide it.
“If they want me to appear on TV or radio to campaign, I’m ready. All they have to do is ask,” Fayed said.
