Tell that to Queen Mary and William the Bruce
He’s asking for a thumping from Sean Connery.
If the British government believes in self-determination, allow the Sottish people to vote on whether or not they want to stay in union with England. And then respect that vote.
And if the British government doesn't believe in self-determination, quit preaching to the rest of the world about people's rights.
Extremist.
If you are not free to leave, you are not free at all.
One, to all the people saying that Scotland isn’t “free” because they can’t separate from the United Kingom... is that true of America as well? Just what “free” country, please point out, will let an area secede peacefully?
Second, Scotland will never secede because modern Scots are not your heroic archetypes of the past. There are no more William Wallaces in Scotland, only a majority of people that love the Labour Party dole. In short, Scotland isn’t going anywhere because Scots love their welfare checks and government programs too much.
Scotland is filled with socialists. I’m sad to say many of my kinsmen would rather live on the dole than live free. A lot of Americans with Scottish blood like to look on their heritage with rose colored glasses, but it’s not all fine whisky.
"Sorry, me hands are too bleedin' messy to give you a Picard facepalm for that one, laddie."
IF the UK was smart, they’d kick Scotland out! That would break the power of Labour and cut a bunch of expenses.
This coming from a guy (Clegg) who believe Europe should have more power-what a hypocrite!
