    If the Scots vote for independence, England will have the tories forever. Labour have always relied on the Scots vote.

    They could call it FUK -former united kingdom.

    The only one who's a prick, and a racist one, is yourself.
    Maybe you'd like to get your facts right next time, before you choose to make yourself look like a complete muppet you :clown:

    Unlikely, on my part. Maybe next time you'd like to present a better argument than "I know you are but what am I?".

    You and israel. "but we had it fifteen hundred years ago, it's OURS FOREVER!".

    Yeah, well you've been humiliating and subjugating the people there for nearly that long, and your claim is expired. Maybe it's not logical of them, but it's an understandable frustration and sentiment. Maybe it's not even fair of them, considering very recent events - but it takes more than a handful of years to change that sort of thing feeling/situation.

    As far as it really being a bunch of tribal areas, yeah, sure, but england, as a unit, has been shitting not only on the rest of britan, but on the world, for a very long time. (ie. look at fucking iraq, a country created for british petroleum - who, in a story closer to home for me, are still out there spewing oil everywhere and then hiding it and doing worse damage with dispersants, and not being held accountable to ANY degree that matters - not only should the US have militarized the handling of deepwater horizion, we should have seized and nationalized all BP assets that we could, to help pay for that shit, when they proved unwilling and indifferent)

    Yeaaaah england, sun never sets on your global shitstorm....

    .....have ya'll given them that stupid fucking coronation rock back from your throne, yet?

    WTF are you on about Israel? I've never so much as mentioned the place here.

    As for this frustration, its a few opportunist career rats like Salmond duping a bunch of Glenfiddich and Tennants Super drinking halfwits.
    They have no right to be frustrated, because they cant take the property of the majority of Britain - its 60million vs 3million in electoral terms.

    As for this subjugating and humiliating line... WTF. There's LOTS of dislike about Britain. Scotland is brimming with a sneaky form of racism AND collusion. Morons like Salmond are the lowest common denominator that appeal to that crap. No one exploits Scotland, it has many people who got extremely wealthy by being part of Britain, and actually exploiting OTHER BRITS!

    New York and California got rich because they utilised the resoruces of OTHER Americans. They have no right to independence and neither does Scotland. And without the rest of Britain, Scottish oil for example, would never have been discovered.

    So really, your claim is utterly bizarre.

    And anyone who's a monarchist deserves to be thrown down a mineshaft.

    You'll see I added some more pertinents :D

    I don't care what scot got how rich off what, that's like saying shit about new york state because they have wallstreet. If they had a giant cultural gripe, it would still be a gripe, regardless of what profiteer got how rich.

    I didn't say scottish society's perfect, I've never been. But that doesn't change the cultural context of the british isles, or english ability to play nice with others throughout history.

    Being a moranchist has nothing to do with it - note that I called it "that stupid fucking coronation rock". It's about the national subjugation and humiliation of how and why it was taken. England still has a monarchy, the fact that it's just for show doesn't change that it's a part of the national and historical identity, for better or worse. So, too, is having your stupid fucking coronation rock stolen and your monarchy not only answerable to england, but your whole country symbolically subservient to england, for centuries.

    And now we see it, you are just an anti English nutjob.

    And my pt wasnt that Scotland was English 1500 yrs ago. Its that the BRITISH have been one group for THOUSANDS of yrs.
    Scotland took over England at the beginning of the Stuart era. And BRITISH, English resources built the Scottish region up. So hard luck, it doesnt neatly divide up if only ONE party choses to. Families, businesses, relationships were all connected because there was an agreement that there was a legal and irrevocable union. Break that agreement, and you can prepare for chaos and poverty. No English going there on holiday, or defending you from invasion. No allowing Scots to become British prime minister or getting well paid jobs down South. No defending/bailing out corrupt banks run by smug pricks like RBS and HBOS. No billions in oil exploration. Run your economy like the Faroes,see how that goes! Launch an unconscionable attack on your own "family" and they will attack back.

    Tell me, why didn't Salmond ask the English, Irish, Welsh what they thought of Scotland renaging on its undertaking to the Union?

    Like my business partners analogy, you cant have your cake AND eat it. And if you try to, prepare for such a messy divorce, you'll be BEGGING to come back pretty soon anyway.

    And Scotland isnt subservient to England. Much of BRITAIN is subservient to a hereditary upper class, that is governed from London.Thats the problem. BIG DIFFERENCE

    Many of the wealthiest and most powerful in Britain are actually Scottish exploiters. The last 3 prime ministers were all to some extent or other, for example. As have been many landowners as far South as Wales and Southern England. Most of em have their fingers in the biggest pies South of the border.

    Your hatred is aimed directly at normal British people. You're suggesting a plumber in Doncaster is as guilty as some prick in Buckingham Palace/the Cabinet.

    The Scottish upper class is just as moronic as the current British one. Get your independence and you'll how full of shit Salmond was. But til then carry on with the "nasty evil English" routine. You gonna firebomb some holiday homes like some North Walian nutters too?

    Well of course they'll be back.

    As I said, it may not be reasonable, but given any more than a few years of context, it's an entirely understandable sentiment and reaction.

    I'm an anti-english nutjob for.... what now, having some familiarity with history? It's not just england that are giant fuckups, but their fuckupery is intimately related to the subject of this thread, and is totally fair game.

    Well of course that's true, in a modern sense. But where is it being ruled from, and how might centuries of that make people feel about england?

    Again, I don't care about the scottish exploiters or whatever, addressed that, go back and read. Doesn't change the context as a whole.

    What hatred? Please, show me where you think I said I hate anybody, much less english people.

    Your argument style is a spirited repetition of your defeated points, punctuated with ad hominem attacks, with no support for any of it. And rather bold "you're saying X" type strawmans.

    Well the Scots missed their chance.

    Will they be happy with the "new deal" that Cameron comes up with?

    The Don't Knows may have decided in haste to regret at their leisure...

    Scotland will be granted new powers and greater autonomy as a result of all this,so it has not all been in vain.

    What has this to do with anything? If every brit would speak like this they would have seperated long ago (and righteously so) :p Some people just pull convictions out of there ass, and you seem to be an expert in that practice.

    Really a nonsense argument where it comes to 'modern' scots (that lived there and had their own identity since medieval times). Do you even seriously believe you make a valid argument yourself? :dizzy2:

    Not really, they put excellent pressure on the UK government to get more autonomy. The ones that were for real seperation did not chicken out at all. You understand the concept of voting and democracy, right?
