Do the British ever knight real men and heros these days?
yup, and def. remember Big Country. In Boston there’s the Dropkick Murphys, whose bagpipe laden “Shipping up to Boston” was in the movie the Departed and, together with a modern version of the old standard “Tessie”, became Red Sox anthems
They knight senior officers. Honours and knighthoods have a military division and a civilian division, the military obviously gets the military division and everyone else the civilian one.
Turns out they're all a bunch of conformists.
McCartney is sooooo YESTERDAY!!!
I say, give The Beatles back to England. Thrown in Elton John as well.
I think ethnically Macca is Scottish and he owns a farm in Scotland. I guess he and Sean Connery don’t see eye to eye on the issue.
Mull of Kintyre is one of my favorites from him.
Would Scotland allow themselves to be overrun by muslims if they gained their independence? And what would they do for a national economy without the rest of U.K.
1—0.9% of Scotland is Muslim.
2—No thanks, Scotland is fine as it is, part of the UK.
Nope.
That’s a myth, and I say that as a NO voter.
I am a staunch NO voter.
No.
Salmond (SNP) is a clown, and the Labour/Tory/Liberal Democrat leaders are not bad, but rather weak and insipid.
We’d need a Farage up here and we aint got him.
Wrong, Scotland will flourish on it’s own.
I never said we couldn’t go it alone, we can.
The question is are we better to. And I say NO.
So what % whiskey production?
There is no e in whisky from Scotland. Overseas sales are at £4.3bn by value.
I say YES. Going by the posters in windows YES is winning by about 100 to 1 (I’ve only seen 4 no posters). Are people ashamed to show no thanks posters? Will they always be known as Quislings?
Farage came to Edinburgh and had to hide in a pub until the police came to rescue him!
