If you go, that's it. We don't want drunken phone calls in a few months saying what a huge mistake it was.
Regards,
England.
The Scots didn't get our Parliament just because we asked for one It took many decades of hard work and political activity to get one Many false dawns and broken promises along the way too
If you feel disenfranchised then get off your backside and take a leaf out of our book Get involved instead of whingeing
Hey with Scottish independance there's a whole new set of foreigners to hate, the immigrants will probably get it easy for a while
The Daily Mail will love that
Yeah pesky Scots Coming down here and winning Wimbledon and giving lessons in how to manage a football team How very dare they!
When you all actually stand up and do something to get it rather than sit back and expect it just to be given to you.
Exactly, its not as if the SNP just magicked itself out of nowhere. It was formed and, through years of hard work, we are where we are currently.
Message for The Turk, you feel disenfranchised and want your own parliament? Good. Here's something you obviously haven't twigged, there's nothing stopping you! All you have to do is get off your backside, make the effort and start a party or movement to campaign for one. It will take hard work and a good amount of time, but enough effort and support, and you will get there. What won't result in you getting there is sitting on your backside and moaning about how hard done by you are and feel.
Well first someone would have to ask the English people if they actually want immigrants in the first place.
Because we are still beholding to Westminster for the money to run the thing for starters And another thing Why is it that Scotland is the only country in the history of the world to discover oil and become POORER?
For me Turk it is simple We want to shape our own destiny and stand or fall by the choices we make
I'm sure Plaid Cymru would disagree with you on that one.
*probably cos you're piss poor in managing money.:D
edinburgh tram project (costed at £375 million in 2003, but by May 2008, when contracts were signed, the cost had risen to £521 million. After extra interest payments are factored in, the final cost is expected to top £1 billion),
and the scottish parliament building (ten times over budget)
*for all you of a sensitive nature, this is a joke.
Thank god you're joking! Saves typing the never ending list that would be Westminster follies
Handy.
Now Alex Salmond and the SNP can travel quickly between Earth and the other planet they clearly live on.
we dont want SOME of the power, we want ALL of the power.
i can take a joke, even one I suspect has a grievance or point behind it.
I'd just like to point out that the Scottish Parliament has balanced its books every year, unlike Westminster.
But they won't following Independence, without Tax increases and cuts...
You don't go to contributing towards costs to paying for them wholly without a massive cost increase.
14th highest GDP in the world, no house of Lords, no Trident, simpler tax system.
we'll be fine
every other country manages its own finances, we invented economics, ffs
Scotland doesn't blame England for its problems.
If half of Scottish residents are voting to stay in the union, then they obviously don't have a problem with the English.
The other half have mostly bought into salmonds promise of utopia, only a small minority of these blame the worlds ills on England.
They are the illogical foaming at the mouth little scotlanders who will blame the evil English for everything until they die ( which will also be the fault of the English).
They may be small in number but they give the impression they are more numerous because they are loud shouty types.
Some of them inhabit these boards.
I take it you mean from now on?
Certain Scots have been doing it all of my life, and it's a trend that's been off and on for hundreds of years.
It's no coincidence that support for Independence got a substantial boost when Braveheart was released.
