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.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Good for them. 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. |

I keep reading this, but I have no idea how it is in reality. How much different is Scotland from England when it comes to welfare? The Scottish always seem to complain that a disproportionate amount of their tax money goes to fund stuff related in England and whatnot. I really have no idea which is why I am asking. And how does Wales and North Ireland figure into this? Less welfare based than Scotland? |

The secessionist movement is growing both here and abroad.
I'm waiting for Germany to leave NATO. France will follow. Both do a lot more trade with Russia and Russia controls their gas. Tibet wants out of the workers' Paradise. Moros in the Philippines (and they've been wanting it for a century). Kurds want their own land from the Turks and Iraqis. Here in America we've got states that want to break up. Jefferson in No CA and OR. Northern CO wants to secede from Denver. Texas talks about splitting from Estados Unidos. How many African nations would break into tribal nations if permitted? Let them. Less tribal killings that way. |

Known as "The West Lothian Question" Aside from the Scottish elected MP's voting in London & swaying the results for the non-Scots electorate, there is also the fact that the worst recent British Prime Ministers were Scottish (Brown, BLIAR, etc.) The Scots SNP & Independence seekers FORGET that Scotland came cap in hand, begging to join the UK, as it'd pissed away ALL its money in a foreign investment scheme & SCOTLAND WAS BANKRUPT... How times change...IF it goes it alone after the vote on the 18th, my first point of call on the 19th is the local betting shop - Scotland bankrupt within 5 years (allowing the SNP the last 2 years of the 5 to spin it to the electorate that everything in the garden is rosy) - £100 on the nose.
