i have heard that as well
apparently Labor gets its base support from Scotland
“this may be the case of being careful what you wish for. England may be the ones getting the better deal in the bargain having the heavily welfare-dependent Scotland cut loose
Big bump to a man who knows what he is talking about.
Scotland gets more back from London than they send in. A lot more.
Years back Indendence would have been a different story perhaps. Back when the River Clyde was full of shipyards. And when the yolk of socialism hadn’t affected the souls of Scotlands sons and daughters.
Before the Heroin and the daily knifings. Back when the North sea was full of oil.
Besides, who do you think has been leading Britains government all these years? Scottish Socialists”

Yep. That’s the scary part. We’re all caving in faster than the Cowboys in a playoff game.
Do countries that secede from others also let go of the financial aid/welfare/subsidies coming from the ‘mother’ country that dominates them?
It just becomes “foreign aid”.
AAAAAAHHHHH! Make it stop! Make it stop!
Believe it or not, William Wallace is in my family tree.
But that’s assumionhg everthing, er(one) stayed legit. ;)
It would rid Westminster of all those left-wing socialists.
The problem with Scotland is, it’s full of Scots....
“I wonder how many people realize that 007 is actually holding a puny .177 Walther air pistol in that picture.”
Yes, but the pellets are coated with Ricin.
Ah, but the British Government gets the tax revenues. It'll be very interesting to see how this issue would be resolved, especially in light of all the liberal bleating about how long it's taken the Iraqi factions to split up oil money.
No true Scotsman would . . .
