Incidentaly, didn't Scotland, Northern Ireland and England collectively join a union together? The only nation that was conquered was Wales.

It's true though, by setting a precedent other regions would want independence as well, especially the Welsh when we start our sheep brothels.

by the way Robbie...I don't think that Al Q. would think twice about hitting Switzerland if they thought it would cause outrage/make a point/have a positive effect on their crusade or whatever their reasons for hitting SPAIN are (after all, shouldn't they support the Sapinish people, not bomb them, as the majority of the people in Spain are against the war? Just shows how indicriminate AlQ and other terrorist organizations are really doesn't it) Do you really think that if Spain pull out of Iraq it's going to make them less of a target?

I am mixed on the immigration issue.
If you have a genuine shot of moving to America, then the experience of living here should be grabbed by two hands.
If you went on holiday once to Florida, and thought it quite nice and was wondering whether or not you should sell your plumbing business in Sheffield and move over with the kids is not realistic.
