An independent Scotland?

[Svartalf]

As a Stuart decedent you are directly concerned. Blood is thicker than the English channel that separates you.

I have nbeither british nationality, nor Scottish residency to vote, or even be fully up on the issues.
and when I see the matter spearheaded by a shady character like Salmond, I don't feel as involved as I might.

[Svartalf]

Not being a resident, I'm not directly concerned, but as a Stuart descendent, I'd be shocked if my countrymen kept those usurpers.

As a Plantagenet I'm inclined to invade those rebellious Scots, violently oppress them, and claim 'first rights' on all their women. As a Lindsay, however, I'm inclined to remove my pants and underwear, gird my kilt about my loins, and get piss drunk.

I'm a house divided.

So gird your loins and get piss drunk on English ale ?

I prefer the term "majority UK" to "Rump UK".

heehee. Rump.

Hey - a polite general request from someone who hasn't followed this whole thread and probably doesn't understand the degree of passion involved in this topic - can we please stop the personal jibes and snark? It's unpleasant and unproductive.

Is there really that much passion, some people in Scotland want indepenence, some don't , but most of the rest of the UK don't care either way?. This isnt the Balkans

You missed out the anti-Scots and how Scots are meant to ignore their inbuilt snark. Or the people who are incapable of seeing past stereotypes of fish suppers and porridge.

I like fish suppers and porridge.

Well, not together.

The term is "diaspora". You are a Scotsman living in France, no?

Worse, a Frenchman living in France.

My 1715 ancestor was Scottish. His children were French like his wife.

Hades, I can see how all of this might seem funny - from the outside looking in.

But Scotland is a country that you're born in and seek to leave if you want to prosper. The recently-mentioned "diaspora" can be aptly used on the Scots that populate the various parts of the world. It's time that the situation was changed. Those who don't want Scotland to improve are represented by the anti-Scots who are adding their hatred to this thread.

From the inside looking out, none of this is funny. And fuck those who want to keep Scotland as a little play-thing; a keepsake that acts as a comfort-blanket for the Little Englanders who miss the days of empire.

Well, Viva La France!

Unsurprisingly, I'm a Marine Le Pen fan too And a Jobbik and Golden Dawn supporter for any Hungarians or Greeks out there.

My mood is light. And I'm hoping it might be infectious.

No condescension or belittlement implied.

Please waft a little more of it my way. I could use it.

Sorry I was a bit short earlier. I should have taken another approach as hades' mood is usually mine as well.

And might I say that the woman in your avatar is quite lovely.

It seems that the skin of some Scots is not merely pasty white but paper thin.

Case in point. Bigots can go fuck themselves.

Hmmm. Spain not happy with automatic EU membership for Scotland. THe issue is not as clear cut as the Little Scotlanders like to pretend. Salmonella would know this, if he had sought legal advice...

And what about The Republic of Ireland, CH? (CH = Cunting Hypocrite)

You know, the BNP supports a win-win situation for this discussion
Give the English an English Parliament, and drastically curtail the UK's parliamentary powers.

Why would an English Parliament be a win for the BNP, compared to a UK Parliament?

Proportionally, there are more bigoted, xenophobic (/wave Huxley) thugs in England than in England and Scotland combined. They'd have a bigger share of the voting public.

Bigoted coward (or should that be cowardly bigot?) just can't stay away from this thread.

I will not post here again. Have fun.

Good. Now, take your walking buddy with you. You know the one... the bigot that you didn't have a single word of complaint about.

Complaining about nasty tempers...

Regarding the above posts. Red Celt has been suspended for 24h for personal attacks and not playing nice.

Since I'm a white (by definition) Afrikaans speaking, male, South African.......fuck, I forgot what I was about to say; brandy drinking (does that qualify me as somewhat French?) May I just add my two cents? I know absolutely nothing about Scotland and the Scots. They seem nice though. Not as fierce as the Canadians, but on par with the Tibetans
