"“They may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!”

This is beginning to sound”Familiar”??????????????????
This is one issue where conservatives around the world need to take a deep breath, tell the truth and then don’t back down. Middle class people don’t like hearing that they are sponging off the public teat too. But the only want to stop the death spiral of the Welfare State is to cut off middle class entitlements (along with a lot of lower class entitlements).
going independent might not sound so good when the money stops coming
They’re saving their money...............
"“They may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!”
I like her. “corrosive sense of entitlement” - well put.
There are only 15 Conservatives and there are 106 left wing parliamentarians: 67 Scottish National Party, 37 Labour, 2 Green.
Currently, the government of Scotland intends to hold an independence referendum in 2014.
If Scotland declares independence, it will immediately become one of the developed world's poorest countries and most indebted countries, with one of the highest rates of unemployment, of welfare dependency, of drug dependency and of illegitimacy.
It will also be 98% white and 96% British.
They better hope that ten or twenty million Englishmen don’t register to vote as Tam O’Shanter MacTavish in the referendum, vote for independence.
Scots were once renown as the most industrious and educated people in the world. They’ve come a long way under socialism.
When I become President, I’ll offer immigration and immediate citizenship to the other 10%.
That’s been turned around to:
“They may take away our liberty, but they’ll never take away our FREEBIES!”
If Scotland declares independence, it will immediately become one of the developed world's poorest countries and most indebted countries, with one of the highest rates of unemployment, of welfare dependency, of drug dependency and of illegitimacy."
Guess that would mean a no vote from those on the welfare receiving end?
yitbos
Thats what really pisses me off about the Scottish electorate at the moment. The fact that most of them have been willing to vote for a pro-independence party, but apparently not willing to vote for actual independence.
It tells me that the Scots do not really believe in the Union, except as a meal ticket. I know there are Scots like thescotsman etc here on FR who are genuine British patriots, but they are very much in the minority, and most ‘pro-union’ Scots consider themselves British only as a matter of convenience. Do I really want these fairweather brits and leeches as my compatriots?
God created whisky to keep the Scott’s from ruling the world!
The Labour Party in Scotland will publicly campaign with the SNP but will, through backchannels, move heaven and earth to suppress the independence vote.
And all they have to do is point out that independnece means fewer checks.
Rob Roy and William Wallace spin in their graves.
Well,l the Scots did give us golf and single malts
The problem is, it would not permit Scottish Labour to send MPs to the Parliament in London - so even that soft version may wind up a no go.
LOL!
