Let the Baron arrive in Scotland and unfurl his standard, and call for the clans to assemble; and the spirit of Braveheart and Bonnie Prince Charlie might assert itself again.

And with Sean Connery joining the forces, how could Scotland lose?

An independent Scotland will then use its offshore oil to
join Opec; and use its oil revenues to buy enough F-15s to keep the Brits at bay.

(Well, a Scot can always dream, can’t he. . . ?)

Ye’re cawkin the claith ere the wab be i the loom.

Ay, and we’ll never see them in Kirkcudbright!

A Scot can dream, but that sounds like a nightmare.

Besides, at the time the majority of Scots backed the Hanoverians against the Jacobites anyway, so they were complicit in the change of dynasty. Its a bit late to change their minds now!

Socialist Scotland would be more likely to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, buy MIG-29’s, and support the Palestinians and Iran.

Scotland is a net loss to the British economy, including oil receipts. Scotland can't secede soon enough IMO.

Scotland is only part of the Union because a Scottish King became King of England as well. Seriously: you want to go, we won't stop you. Secede already! And as a byproduct, England will go back to being Conservative.

Give me a f***ing break. Besides which, the Jacobite rebellion was a British rebellion, not just a Scottish one....
