Re: Scotland and Independance
They didn't burn it, they blew it up 
BBC News - Alex Salmond effigy was blown up in Lewes
Personally I think they should have put a burner under it and let the hot air float it away, on fire. Would have been appropriate...
Better say thank you then.
You'll note that those scots who had got whilst the getting was good weren't allowed to vote. I wonder why ....
Many scots were off their heads. The complete lack of any viable plan should have meant only the insane voted yes. Maybe they did.
Scotland won, it didn't jump off the cliff.
Actually most English were hoping you'd save yourselves from yourselves - and luckily, you did.

No, Cresta, we didn't lose. It was not only Scots who voted. There is a very large number of English residents in Scotland and apparently 74% of them voted no. Unless you can say that the majority of Scots voted no you cannot say that we lost. You may not like it, why I don't know, but many Scots want free of the Union and the unrest will go on until that happens.
So many English people take this personally, why I don't know. All we want is to again make our own decisions for our own country. What is wrong with that? We should never have been in this position but unfortunately we can't change history.

It amuses me that for someone so passionate about Scotland you abandoned it for Australia, then want to exclude those that make their home in Scotland exempt from voting. They obviously like Scotland more than you as they choose to live there. Seems quite unfair don't you think?

No you lost end of. Bash your gums as much as you like but no matter what spin you attempt to put on it you lost. Maybe next time you could not only indoctrinate the school kids but also exclude any non gingers from voting and anyone that doesn't have at least 6 generations of Scots ancestry, that should do it for you
