Seeing a foreign FSA having no Free Shit all of a sudden.That is going to be EPIC and enlightening for us here when our FSA's EBT cards run dry.

So is this an ethno-state thing or a neo-Marxist thing?

Yes.


VERY much Marxist in theme - given the history of the SNP leader & Scottish "First Minister" - Alex Salmond

He was expelled from the SNP for being too radical in the past - see 79 Group

The SNP are rabidly anti-English & even more so very very anti-Semetic/anti-Israeli yet pro-Palestine/PLO http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2014/08/why-is-the-snp-endorsing-israel-haters/

...some interesting times ahead for sure

Oh, there's also a lot of 1930's brown-shirt style electoral bullying going on at present from the YES crowd....people (even national celebrity & sportsmen/women) speaking up against independence are being targeted & even receiving death threats...yet the YES crowd bring in well known "rent-a-Jocks" like American-citizen Alan Cumming & wife-beater Barbados resident Sean Connery, et al...(the latter said he'll only move to Scotland if it wins the vote - happy to do a house exchange with him to save him any delay...)

At least that nice rotund North Korean chap will fit in well if he wants a trip to the Highlands anytime post-election: it'll be like Tweedledee & Tweedledum when he stands next to Salmond

Before having done some reading, I thought "let the Scots be independent of the English rule!" Now, after reading about their politics, how they are wholly dependent on England, I decided "let the Scots be free so England is rid of them!" I am sure their ancestors are rolling in their graves and wondering how their descendants became such garbage and chaff.

It looks like in Scotland that they have allowed (as in the US, France, Germany, Holland, England etc.) too many Muslims into their country as well. I wonder when these countries will realize the unfettered immigration by these third world people was a bad thing.

scotland is a huge drag on England. I think the English economy gets a big boost if they leave plus it fucks the labour party hard because so much of their support is in scotland

There's a huge difference between America in 1774, and Scotland in 2014.

The way I see it, if they want to stay that's fine, we can do that or if they want to go that fine too, thanks for the memories and we'll see you about. Either way just fucking get on with it and shut the fuck up about it. Will it happen in my opinion? No. There is too much at stake in them staying and many interested eyes vested in them losing the votes because it'd pave the way for other secession movements in the EU to gain legitimacy including the Catalans, the Flemish, the Basques and others.

According to arfcom, Scotland is even more anti-gun, anti-weapon than England is.  If that is the case there will be yet another socialist/communist country being created in the Western Hemisphere.

All those troublemakers got forcibly relocated to Northern Ireland, which still didn't cure the rash they got from being so close to the English.
So they moved to America.

    They are also calling "Scots" it's own language now. That's a stretch


    Uh, Scots is it's own language. It is related to English but technically descended from Middle English and not Modern English.

    Unless you're telling me that "Auld Lang Syne" is completely readable to you. That being said, most Scottish people these days merely speak modern English with some Scots words thrown in.

    So, it's funny if you think about it, Scotland technically has three languages; Scottish Gaelic, Scots, and English.

    The British members of the board think this is a great thing IIRC, since it would make the rest of the country swing right.

    One of the issues is the short term financial problems. Uncertainty increases risk, risk makes it harder to bring in investment. There is also likely to be an impact on borrowing in England, which is going to affect businesses and, by extension, employees and consumers. Even if it's highly beneficial in the long term, there's still the next few years to get through if they vote Yes.



    What makes me chuckle is that the Royal Bank of Scotland have already said they will move the entire bank to England if the Scots vote for independence

    What amazes me is that the outgoing Scottish MPs would get to stay in the English Parliament until 2016 if the Scots vote for independence!

    Why the hell wold you keep them around, mucking things up and voting on things that they won't ever have to answer for ever again?  

    If the Scots vote for independence, those fuckers need to be shown the door ASAP.

    I love a socialist invoking the American revolution.

    Read up on the SNP and stop supporting socialism.

    The youth locally to me have massively voted NO in local polls. The ploy of offering the sweetened teet to the uninformed seems to have backfired...BBC Scotland News - that's the local high school...

    Good for them.  
    They are also calling "Scots" it's own language now. That's a stretch

    No it is not.  I got stopped and asked for directions by a lost Scotsman at a gas station in central Texas  and to tell you the truth, I could not understand what he was saying.  He had to write it down on a piece of paper and I wrote out the response. I guess they don't have hooked on phonics in Scotland.

    That's not actually unusual for people traveling through the South.
    I'm originally from Rhode Island and I've had several occasions where Southerners or I had to restate something slowly to each other.

    If the South had a few more decades of general isolation before mass transit became common, you'd be as hard to understand as an Australian.

    It will give Obama a place to emigrate after he is done screwing up the country he presently lives in.
