SpecialPG Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 its nice to see englands billions a year in subsidies to the home nations has allowed them to scrap student fee's, prescriptions fee's and many many other things we still have to pay for. does this count as foriegn aid as these nations fought vigorously to have thier autonimous independance granted from english parliment, we're nothing but a country of mugs and muppets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caparo Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 It also has haggis, deep fried mars bars, chronic alcoholism, neeps ans tatties, kilts, heart disease and bagpipes. But no Tories. Big plus there. That's good. So when we get shut of them from the UK we won't only save a fortune but we can kiss goodbye to a shed load of lefty MPs as well. COOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOL Without Scotland, the Tories would have had an absolute majority at the last election. Even with Scotland, they still would have had an absolute majority if Scottish constituencies were as large as English ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 And why does this continue to be the case? Because Scotland has the oil...well most of it. For it to devolve completely may be disastrous to the UK economy..in the short term anyway. As we all know it is not indefinite and there are also issues about boundaries... No it doesn't! Under international law, the ownership of the waters at the boundary between two adjoining countries is determined by the mean direction of the land boundary for a given (I can't remember what is is) distance from the shore. A line following that boundary is projected out into the sea. The direction of the land boundary at (and before) the shore near the border on the East Coast is to the North of North East. - Scotland does have offshore mineral rights, but Scottish waters (around Aberdeen, for instance) only extend a few miles offshore. Everything to the right of the line belongs to England. :hihi: Could you claim asylum in Scotland and become Scottish? I thought Scotland was an asylum? Without Scotland, the Tories would have had an absolute majority at the last election. Even with Scotland, they still would have had an absolute majority if Scottish constituencies were as large as English ones. The 'West Lothian question' would finally become irrelevant. Scotland should be granted full independence immediately! I wonder what they'd charge for the electricity they generate? Wales should be given independence too. I'm sure the people of Birmingham would be quite happy to pay whatever the Welshmen wanted to charge for water. Perhaps England should have its own Parliament? - You could always boot out that bunch of rogues in the Palace of Westminster and start again.

stewpot54 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Good! Make Scotland more attractive to the Scotts the they might go back and live there. They can sit in their own parliament and read their own weather forecasts, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Good! Make Scotland more attractive to the Scotts the they might go back and live there. They can sit in their own parliament and read their own weather forecasts, "Prolonged periods of rain and fog, with occasional outbreaks of fog and rain."
