5 stars by the way, and a little suggestion- rather than await each principality voting for schism to be able to cut the apron strings, reject the subsidies and manage their own massive financial deficits; would it not be more time efficient just asking England once if we want to keep them? Then we can send them all back up the Lochs and Valleys rejoicing!

Pinhead
offlineMemberI'm guessing by the lack of retort that we have a generally English membership or that the outstations agree that they should all bugger off out of our hair. Let's face it, once the north sea gas runs out, what's the use of that bunch? Can't see the price of coal, leaks or slate going up, so see ya Wales. As for NI, Jeni you're welcome to it. And the Argies can have the Falklands too as there's not really any oil down there. Be nice to keep Barbados I s'pose.

offlineMemberMy family have always loved everything Scottish. For hundreds of years they regularly nipped across the border bringing back as many souvenirs as they could. This tended to be mainly livestock and the odd woman. Apparently they could never find any even ones.

offlineMemberAh,but that's where they went wrong, they should have brought back manly livestock then the even women would have followed.

offlineMemberI do just wonder...everyone in ever wart and carbuncle of a land peripheral to our great nation seems to be wailing to be able to vote to end their association with us.
Personally, I;d rather not sit here and wait to be dumped...if the scots are to have a vote on whether or not to leave us, surely we should have a vote on whether or not we want to keep them?

The second he suspects his three girlfriends have found him out and are planning to bin him, he tries to get in there first, just so he can maintain his macho posture.Posted 2 years ago # -

offlineMemberI must be old fashioned, but I find the break up of the union a little sad.
Mind you, I saw a hilarious cartoon in the Daily Express, by *JAK, about the Scots. There was this man in a kilt, you see... oh, you'll have to buy the paper and see it yourself.
It was in the Daily Express. December 5th, 1969.
Of course, the 'politically correct' brigade wouldn't like it. Mind you, they put millions of chimney sweeps out of a job. Imagine the impact that has on a ten year old.

be reasonable
offlineMemberPart of the problem seems to be that all 'nations' are social constructions and that consequently there will never be unanimity of viewpoint on what constitutes that 'nation'. It seems inevitable that people who feel themselves dispossessed, disregarded or disenfranchised by the particular set-up they find themselves living in will seek alternatives. Combine that with politicians who are willing to evoke history and discourses of grudge and grievance in order to get their own names in the history books, and there'll be trouble.
That's my tuppence-worth. Have a nice day.Posted 2 years ago # -

offlineMemberIf you stare at Red's pic for 30 seconds, then look at a white wall, you can see an image of an increasingly isolated old git with no friends or allies, gnawing on the bones of his past achievements, cursing and abusing everyone who isn't him, and wondering why nobody wants to help him fend off the clouds of mosquitoes that are buzzing around ready to suck out the remaining blood from his withered old, stone cold heart. The sign above the door says ..eat Br..ain.
Or is that just the medication wearing off?
