I have no idea if Scotland will vote for independance - hope they do. I hope they are FULLY independant though. That way, the moronic imbeciles who have destroyed the UK over the last few years (ALL scots, with that evil traitor BROWN at the forefront - why has he not been executed for treason - he DELIBERATELY dismantled our military, for money, whilst lying about it), will be stuck in their midge infested bog of a country.

Sounds good to me!

I imagine Scotland could invite in a friendly power to stage out of its bases much as the USAF has done in England. Some Flankers would be a grand sight for photographers as they do practice runs through the glens...

Once we've got rid of the Jocks, anywhere south of Coventry should be regarded as Northern France, if it already isn't so. An English man's home is his castle. If you insert an imaginary R in to castle, you're not English, so please **** off and close the door behind you.

Heh heh, you've reminded me of when I got posted back Ooop north and my little 'un, who'd known nowhere other than Odious, upon passing through Newark said in the cutest voice imaginable, "does a princess live in the car-sell?"

PP

I think you'll find that anywhere in Northern (and for that matter Western) France is actually South Britain, or to be more accurate South England. :E

Overheard in a Newcastle pub in the '70's

"nae use for the South of England? Whey man, withoot the south of England there'd be 200 miles of bluidy rough watter between Doncaster and Calais....."

I honestly believe that the Scot's will see sense & vote to stay within the Union, so long as Westminster doesn't pass any silly votes just before the Referendum, like withholding State Pension till we are 80, or reducing more Taxes for the ultra rich & giving them free air travel passes !

What is more worrying is, how can our legally elected representitives in Parliament vote 234 FOR & 22 AGAINST a motion opposing "Votes for Prisoners", then to have them over ruled by unelected forigners in Brussels ? They are making a mockery of our Democracy. Let's get back our National (British) pride & be masters of our own destiny, again.

Except you are wrong. The European Court of Human Rights, in Strasbourg, is nothing to do with the EU (and is older). It was established with the guidance and assistance of the UK (with Churchill's backing) to stop Crimes Agaisnt Humanity (genocide &c) happenign in europe - again.

"FYI all other posters - Deep fried Mars bars were Invented in a Chippy in Brum and I have yet to see a Chippy up here that sells them"

Seen whilst I was bimbling through Stonehaven,

The Carron Fish Bar, Stonehaven

I love the quote from MB of Peterhead, bless him

Silky - There was a Chippy In Brum I went back in 1981 - On the Soho Road IIRC. The owner claimed he was the Inventor of the foul concoction. However happy to corrected though I still haven't seen a Chippy up here selling them - Then again, I dont frequent chippies that often.

Heathrow Harry 1st Jun 2012 16:55

definitely invented in Stonehaven

VIProds 1st Jun 2012 17:54

Whenurhappy Exactly, "to stop Crimes Against Humanity (genocide)". Yes, I fully agree with that but what about our civil rights being forced to give the vote to murderers, rapests & pedophiles. This is nothing to do with Crimes Against Humanity !

In Billy Connolly's shows, he said that all our problems in the Middle East are due to Stan ! yes, Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, Afganistan etc. It would seem that anything with Europe in the title is a problem to us.

Actually, I thought that the ECHR was in the Hague, but now realize it was the International Court of Justice. Both my Children went to School just around the corner from the ICJ, at the British School of the Nethrerlands. When we moved to Frankfurt, we would drive all the way down to Strasbourg, to M&S where we could purchase real potato crisps that weren't paprika flavored !!

Sorry to go off track with this, but I had to respond.

Scottish "independence"
 
When Ships were sunk in the Falklands war, it was rumored that any missing stores were deemed to have sunk with them.
I could see lots of opportunity here. "Where is xyx123 sergeant". "Sent to Scotland as part of the settlement sir"

NutLoose 1st Jun 2012 18:40

When the USSR collapsed the Russians on departing East Germany lifted all of the hexagonal blocks that made up all the airfield taxiways etc and took them with them, shame we couldn't do the same

Failing that you could always go watch the *ankers in Holyrood.

Goes back a long way - my father was on maintenance on a Beaufighter strike squadron out of the Shetlands in 1943/44. At one point they went 3 months without a loss (bad weather, luck, easy targets....) and the ground crews were getting frantic. Enventually one poor sod didn't make it back - not surprising as he was (according to the paperwork) carrying a load that would have troubled a C-47 - my father admitted to "loading" two sets of 8ft stair ladders for a start.......

On OECD GDP figures UK ranks about 16.
Scotland will rank about 6 and will be able to afford to defend itself.
This is a lie. And you have fallen for it.

NutLoose 3rd Jun 2012 12:57

I can't see how the Scottish GDP would be greater, I mean I know the UK PLC manufactures squat these days, but bar a dwindling oil supply what the heck does Scotland produce, the odd bottle of Whiskey, fish farms, skirts for men and deep fried Mars Bars (that they have to import). I just cannot see the figures holding up.
