Scottish independence

[barackattack]

The Scottish first minister is called 'Mr. Salmond'.
The Scottish deputy first minister is called 'Ms. Sturgeon'.

Clearly a bunch of practical jokers.

Say no to Scottish independence.

[pimpdave]

Scottish independence is getting a bunch of Limey's all upset.

Say yes to Scottish independence.

[pimpdave]

Also, even if Scotland was independent, wouldn't they still basically be your brothers? Like the relationship between Canada and the US.

[barackattack]

It'd be more like the US and Mexico.

[MeDeFe]

I was thinking like North Korea and South Korea.

i would love scotland to be independant. they would be a lot richer for starters. most of the electric supply comes from scotland. also revenue from oil fields in the sea would come under scotland as most are off the coast of aberdeen. hence the reason why i think it will never happen, the english would be totally flucked as the scottish would raise there taxes on power. and lower our taxes on booze.

That implies equal capability. Maybe China and Taiwan.

Scotland - much like Wales, N. Ireland and the North of England - is carried by the wealth of the South and London.

The only reason they can afford bread is the tax handouts they're receiving from Parliament.

North and South Korea equal capability? LMAO

Be cool, stay in skool.

Britain can't let Scotland have independence, who would man the front lines of the British army? The English would never have achieved the success they did in history without the Scots as the spear point.

[barackattack]

Derp. Europe's fattest country may have served as useful cannon fodder when our opposition was Zulus holding spears, but send them into the Afghan mountains and there'll be clogged, whisky-smelling arteries splattered all over the place.

If they want their independence that's their choice. They will come crying back when they realise that they are nothing without Westminster.

They would still have -

The Ghurka Regiment:



The Chav Brigade:

Yeah, look at those punks in the United States. Just wait, in a few more years, they'll come back begging to be reincorporated into the United Kingdom.

You can foresee Scotland going the same way as the US? This has nothing to do with the US.

If you can only contribute by being an asshole then you might as well not contribute at all.

Wtf is this shit, you fucking disgusting racist piece of shit. Scotland has nothing in common with the US..

If Scotland is a burden on London and the super awesome south of England, why wouldn't you want them to become independant?

Also, bravo - applause, applause, great troll thread.

To recap for those just joining us, the thread to-date:

Is that a new forum rule? If so, there must be a lot of bannings coming.

1 - insubordination can't be tolerated
2 - it's fun bossing Scotland around

[Qwert]

No way that England can give permission for Scotland to be independent ,because then will no more being of United Kingdom.
After that Wales and North Ireland can get same right to decide to be independent.
I like that

[barackattack]

Woooooah... not the Queen.

[saxitoxin]

PhatScotty should be here advocating against Scottish independence.

Federalist #4 - "Concerning the Foreign Dangers"
John Jay - November 7, 1787



What would the militia of Britain be if the English militia obeyed the government of England, if the Scottish militia obeyed the government of Scotland, and if the Welsh militia obeyed the government of Wales?

We have heard much of the fleets of Britain, and the time may come, if we are wise, when the fleets of America may engage attention. But if one national government, had not so regulated the navigation of Britain as to make it a nursery for seamen -- if one national government had not called forth all the national means and materials for forming fleets, their prowess and their thunder would never have been celebrated. Let England have its navigation and fleet -- let Scotland have its navigation and fleet -- let Wales have its navigation and fleet -- let Ireland have its navigation and fleet -- let those four of the constituent parts of the British empire be under four independent governments, and it is easy to perceive how soon they would each dwindle into comparative insignificance.
