Scottish Independence

[Rusty Shackleford]

What amuses me about this thread is people throwing insults around like `sweaty jocks` and `Jimmy Krankie`- but they still want the Scots to stay in the union :stunned:

Just to clarify, I would like the sweaties to be gone, and for Jimmy Krankie to die in a nasty cheese grating incident.

If the majority of Scots want to leave the union then I have no problem with that at all. As someone who considers themselves English rather than British, I have no strong feelings either way for Scotland or its people. I think leaving would be a big mistake for them, but if that's what they want...

What does your passport have to say about that? :winking:

The same as a scot. They seem to gloss over that fact.

Ah but presumably if Scotland becomes an independent country, then they'll be entitled to a Scottish passport (just like the Irish).

You did economics...is Scotland in any fit state from that point of view to break away from the UK?

Since when have the Irish been entitled to a Scottish passport?

All of them? Odd how my mother-in-law is proud of being British despite being born in Dundee.

Only at "A" level.I'll admit that the economics,especially the price of oil have changed since the 2014 referendum.There are now other arguments however.Plenty of small nations are independent countries eg Slovenia,New Zealand etc.

Ha! I clearly meant their own natiotional passport like the Irish.

So was mine although sadly died a few years ago. The SNP were a bunch of twisters and Salmond was a "bad man". She was very observant. Spent her lifetime in the jute mills. It was a hard life she always said. My wife's from Dundee. Where's yours from MK.

...if I was PM, i'd tell sweaty Sturgeon;

"We're gonna build a wall, and Scotland's gonna pay for it!"

Imagine the furore if Juncker had turned round to us last year saying "now's not the time lads, try again later".

When Dave Smith returned to his home town to manage, he found he was not accepted because he was considered a Sassenach as he had spent his football career in England
