Doubt it.

No, deadly serious.

Re: if the scots go, do you care?
 

Independence for Scotland or not England will continue to be blamed for anything and everything in Scotland for years, decades perhaps even centuries to come. Among those with a full set of chips that is.

Always an excuse for the Scots attempting to discuss anything to do with England. It gets boring after a while.

So am I.

Apparently not. He's not really suited to be a 21st century Braveheart, is he?

This thread of course, as ever, is not going to change a lot of minds, one way or the other, but FFS, this whole idea is irrational, simply based on perceived inequalities of opportunity among various regions of the country, coupled with the undeniable fact that Scotland used to be an independent, but feckless, country some several hundreds of years ago.

If the Yes vote wins, the best of luck. But Mr. S. really has no idea.

You can't run a country for long on emotional appeals to a lost and distant past.

John Reid along with Helen Liddell and dozens of others sit as peers in the House of Lords. Can you keep them please after we vote YES ?

Re: if the scots go, do you care?
 

Maybe, just maybe, it's comments like that that make people want to vote YES

Re: if the scots go, do you care?
 

even so, that is a piss-poor excuse to vote YES

Re: if the scots go, do you care?
 

Only if you take the "doom and gloom" mentality to a YES vote and from what I can tell, there's a few Scots that don't view it that way.

Re: if the scots go, do you care?
 

Yes, but as is the case for the Republic of Ireland, most of that noise will be the other side of the border and thus out of earshot.

Re: if the scots go, do you care?
 

There are 59 scottish MPS at Westminster,41 Labour,11 Lib-Dem,6 SNP and 1 Tory.The SNP dont vote on bills etc. pertaining to England and cant see the 41 Lab MPs making much difference to the Tory Lib-Dem coalition.
I understand what you are trying to say about Scotland being part of a larger political entity but the parallels you are making are insulting to me .How would you feel if I compared England with a state in India?

Re: if the scots go, do you care?
 

In that part of the world, East Pakistan might be a good comparand to Scotland.
