” I believe the Scottish are socialists.”

One more though...
Did you ever catch Hitch and his completely opposite politically brother, Peter, have debates on CSPAN way back when?
Damned impressive and entertaining. Use of the English language at it’s finest!

Scottish independence would be like California becoming independent - a blessing to those who remain behind!

If I were in Scotland, I'd have the same take. I just don't feel it is the place of those of us on this side of the pond to tell our Allies how to run things.

I enjoyed your post #78 also. There is a lot of smug ignorance over here. A few of us appreciate how dangerously close the UK and all of western civilization came to perishing from the summer of 1940 to 1941.

It was only the determination of Churchill and the will of the UK residents which held out.

Yes I saw that. While Peter was/is definitely right of center Christopher was more of a Libetarian before he died. He certainly understood the dangers of radical Islam in ways that the left wing did/does not.

God help England if she had no Scots to think for her" - George Bernard Shaw

You can tell the Scots are brighter than the English, they have a lot of devolved power over which the English M.P.'s have no control, yet Scottish M.P.'s get to vote on the same English questions.

If the English had their wits about them they would demand either that they have their own assembly/paliament of that Scottish M.P.'s at Westminster are barred from voting on questions that involve England only.
