Scottish Independence

[mjw47]

Scotland don't do bombs !!!

 

I will be amazed if they vote Yes.

 

The Scots are too attached to their purses, they will chose monetary safety over freedom every time.

 

The Irish were prepared to face up to an Empire and fight for their freedom and take whatever consequences came along.

 

The Scots only have to make a mark on a voting form to achieve the same result.

 

I like the Scots as people, they tend to be good company, but as a nation, not so much.

 

They will impress me for the first time as a nation if they vote Yes, but I doubt they will.

 

' Bought and sold for English gold, such a parcel of rogues in a nation.'

 

Rabbie Burns, following the act of union in 1707.

There will be around half the population feeling disenfranchised one way or the other come Friday morning

 

 

 

Better start rebuilding Hadrian's Wall

 

Hadrians Wall is some considerable distance south of the Scottish border.

 

The inhabitants of Berwick plus many more English parishes will be a bit upset about that.

 

Next week we're going to visit my brother- in- law, who lives close to Wallsend which is exactly what it says, and it's on the coast east of Newcastle.

Balmoral on the market for around 475 thousand quid. Needs a bit of work though. Sultan of Brunei showing some interest in the property.

 

Kilt burning scheduled 10 AM sharp Friday morning, Sandringham. Highland terriers removed from the premises and on the way to the pound. All Dewars, Johnny Walker and Glen Fiddich to be disposed of down the turlet and replaced with Jameson's and Old Bushmills

Some Scots still have a chip on their shoulder about England.

Haven't you heard of the exploding haggis? Well - that's the effect it had on my innards...

[BEDROCK]

Well the time is now, the final countdown

 

IN or OUT, YES or NO, who wins, you decide!

What do you mean some? Try most! Even the no voters don't like us much!

Utter crap! Your average Scott has no problem with England or the English. Just look how many join the army and fight for the UK. They fight for Scotland Wales Ireland and England and they die for us too. Are you seriously suggesting that they join the Army, fight and die and all this time they have some seething resentment towards the hand that feeds them and the hand they lay their lives down to protect?

I hope you're right and this is reflected in the poll

It was a bit tongue in cheek but over the last few weeks there's evidence that a large number of Scottish people don't like the English much. I've met a few from the forces who don't like the English much either!!

They don't like "London Types" and Toffs.

 

Most English, certainly in Northern cities, have so much more in common with the Scottish than they do with that lot.

 

If they do become independent I wouldn't mind moving up there!
