So now you're a "brit"? You were defender of the english in your retort to me. And I see someone else has already corrected your inaccurate references in your comments. And eh, I'm sure you're right in that the govt of the UK would love to off load Scotland but too bad it produces so much revenue from the oil industry which they exercise control over as well as its continued control over Scotland's fiscal policy. Also where else would the royal family go on holiday eh?

Don't get into this slanging match about England and Scotland, come the end of the day the two countries history are linked.

personally I really have no problem with anyone going anywhere as long as they behave in a reasonable manner .the thing that really irritates me is the beleif that it is OK to call an English man from pot to post but be buggared if you can call anyone else . with scotland and wales who do have parliments that scream "self determination" they really do need to read their history since I believe (and I'm sure there are people here who could tell you who and when my history isn't that good )but scotland ended up taking over the throne of wales then by some mis -hap took over the throne of England which led to the union (in a nut shell) .it is a small minority of suits that think that it's ok to cause distention amongst the ranks .if I have seemed to be discrimatory I appologise but I do get pis**ed of at england being blamed for every thing ,called ,and expected to take it I just don't anymore .
