Scotland Seeks Independence Again After U.K. 'Brexit' Vote

Scotland's government began moves Friday to hold a new referendum on independence from the U.K. after the "Brexit" vote, saying it faced being taken out of the European Union against its will.

Scots voted by 62 percent to 38 percent to remain in the EU, according to Friday's results, in contrast to the overall U.K.-wide result of 52 percent to 48 percent in favor of quitting the bloc.

A majority of voters in Northern Ireland also voted to remain in the EU, suggesting the U.K. faces internal constitutional upheaval as well as a contentious divorce from Brussels.

Let the leeches go. Maybe the English should have a vote on whether they should be kicked out.

Much of Scotland likes living large on EU money. They will continue to fight for their place on that teat until they are sucking on a corpse.

Scotland wants independence from UK so they can become serfs of the EU - pathetic.

What the hell's up with the Scots? Confiscating or registering FREAKING AIR RIFLES. Now vote to stay with the NWO oligarchs? Where is William Wallace now that he's REALLY NEEDED?

Let ‘em go. Without Scotland, England (and Wales) will reliably vote Conservative or UKIP, even with the elites’ attempts to import a new electorate. Labour will be the biggest loser if Scotland leaves the UK.

Irony - the Scots seek independence from an independent UK in order to become dependent on the EU

I’m glad my Scottish ancestors were kicked out after Culloden and during the Clearances. I guess the best of them were finished off fighting all the British wars.

Well, if Scotland and Ireland want to stay in the EU but leave Britain, Britain should seal off the borders with them to make sure the muzzies don’t sneak in that way.

Restaff Hadrian’s wall!

Scotland moved to Appalachia via Ulster. Or at least the independent, hard fighting, untamed people of Scotland. http://www.ulsterancestry.com/ulster-scots.html. Hard to beleive my people descended from those people left over there.

“...British Army, Captain Johann Henricks, one of the much despised ‘Hessians’, wrote in frustration ‘Call it not an American rebellion, it is nothing more than an Irish-Scotch Presbyterian Rebellion.’ It was their toughness, virility and sense of divine mission that was to help give shape to a new nation, supplying it with such diverse heroes as Davy Crocket and Andrew Jackson. They were indeed God’s frontiersmen, the real historical embodiment of the lost tribe of Isreal.”

There ain't no Bravehearts left in Scotland. Today they want someone else to pay their way and the men wear T-Bags under their kilts {that should bring some wrath from even the Donald and his clan}.

1. destroy larger nation unions.
2. destroy nation states
3. fracture peoples identities
4. use migrants to destroy organized Labor
5. continue to use fresh migrants for step 1 thru 4
7. read Sun Tzu Art of War quote #5 twice daily:.."fracture your enemy, but do not destroy him, he will be useful"

I hate when conspiracies are true.

“I guess the best of them were finished off fighting all the British wars.”

One of my ancestors was probably a Scottish Brit Merc in the revolutionary war. After his side lost, he and other losers fled to Canada. Generations, later, one of his descendents, my ancestor came to the USA. The other Americans referred to them as Moss Backs. They and their children avoided censuses and any registration. They just appeared and died later, basically w/o documentation.

“They’ll vote to remain with ANYONE, who will pay their bills for them.”

Sounds like Clintoon’s voters!

Britain should expel Scotland and let it beg to suckle at the EU’s teat.
