Oh nooooooooooooooooooooo......hehehehehehe
That’s true! :-)
They came over here , that’s what happened.
Hey...don’t mess with this MAGYAR; we demand tribute, we don’t pay them.
I mentioned that theory, too.
[mine were thrown out but it’s the same thing]
:D
You’re probably right.
*Huge* homo rights supporters, too.
/no kilt jokes, please
What if Merkel naturalizes all the rapefugees in Germany? Under EU rules those muzzies can then freely emigrate to Britain. Bad news.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh; not happened to all of the manly men?
My paternal gramma was Austro-Hungarian.
Visit the Appalachians.
You’ll find them.
Most of my maternal great great grandparents were too. My great great grandfather was the Head Drum Major of the Austro-Hungarian Army, under Emperor Franz Joseph.
If you study the development of both England and Scotland since the Union I think an honest person would say it has benefitted both parties, despite our differences.
However, the compaigning for the most recent vote on Scottish independance was so bitter and aggressive that I think today most English would say to the Scots, “Go”.
(I personally know Unionists who have sold up and left their homeland to move to England as a result of intimidation.)
Those are the softer ones... the orneryiest ones went to Missouri via TN and AL.
They were also in NYC too, when I was growing up. :-)
Well, too bad Scotland already voted to stay with Britain last year or 2 ago?
What has Germany “won”? Being part of a NWO somehow makes you a winner?
I'm English, and a union man through and through. I've talked to lots of Scottish Nationalists on line, especially at about the time of the independence referendum. Some are just old style Jacobites who were never reconciled to the union. More, (usually younger ones) are motivated by what amounts to an anti-English racism. They've drunk the kool aid, they think that thoroughly awful movie Braveheart is real history (how the hell did THAT abortion win best picture oscar?) and so they've got it into their heads they are fighting their own modern day independence war.
But the vast majority of Scots Nationalists, certainly in my experience, are not anti-English. They're not even particularly anti-Union. They're anti-City of London. THAT is what is really driving all the nationalist causes, even BREXIT to some extent. Scottish people are tired and resentful of taking orders and direction from a remote, powerful and very disdainful entity over which it seems they have no control or influence. This is not an untypical attitude. During the independence debate there was a joke letter going round saying "Dear Scotland, if you get independence, can we come with you? Signed the north of England"
The problem with Britain is that there is too much power concentrated in the Capital - political, economic, even cultural, and its becoming very damaging. To the extent that London is almost like a separate country. If you look at the latest referendum polls you can see just how much out of step with the rest of the country (or provinces, as Londoners disdainfully refer to us as) really is.
Now this is all very reminiscent of the EU. The EU is remote, isolated, unaccountable and exercises enormous and increasingly intrusive controls on British people's ordinary lives. It's bizarre to me that the Scottish Nationalists want to stop taking orders from London but are ok with taking them from Brussels. The lesson of all this is surely that over centralisation of power is a bad thing and needs to be broken up, and now we've dealt with Brussels London has to be next, or as people have intimated on these boards the UK will break up next.
LOL...very good!
Good question. The EU started from a coal agreement between France and Germany when Britain balked at France just annexing Germany’s Saarland after WWII. It was meant to keep Germany compliant and mostly under France’s thumb.
