SportsTrophy Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 To me its a case of greener grass. Once they have it, the question is what wil they do with it or after a few years will they want to keep it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's looking more and more likely that there will be a full referendum on Scottish Independence. Is this a good thing, self determination for a subject people, or the breaking up of a fine Union between British people? Will there be a scramble to get on the "right" side of Hadrian's Wall come the day? I don't have a problem with four independent countries with four independent governments and budgets working together just like we work with other European countries. I would vote in favour of an independent England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Let them have it I say. Then repatriate all Scots in England who spend so much time crooning about their wonderfull homeland. Especially those who claim to be Scottish by virtue of a distant relative being born there. I've always found the plastic jocks to be the worst. Get rid of the lot of 'em! I've never seen a plastic jock - can you get them locally? As a Scot who has lived 2/3 of my life here in Yorkshire, I've never felt resented here because of where I was born, or my accent. No one has ever overtly objected to my being a Scot. I'm married to an Englishman, and have two children, one born in Scotland and one in Yorkshire. My husband's siblings all live in Scotland. Like a lot of people, I don't see my ethnicity as an issue. The divisions I see in society are mainly based on attitudes, open/closed mindedness, values and behaviour. I'll be sorry if the referendum outcome is to part from the rest of the UK, I didn't even support the Scottish parliament being formed. However, I did suspect it was the first step to the Nationalist's goal of separation. I just hope that all the supporters of Scottish independence realise that if it happens, the English would be unlikely to see a Labour government again.

sedith Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Cast them adrift and put razor wire along the length of Hadrians Wall! We can then start deporting them ... if they snatched a couple of dozen of them from the Wetherspoons every day, we should be rid of them by this time next year?

Murphy Jnr Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's easy to hate people you don't know I guess. One thing the English are good at is believing themselves to be better than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
