Scottish Referendum

Interesting to note that the campaign to keep Scotland in the Union is being led by a Labour politician, Alistair Darling.

Presumably putting a Conservative figure anywhere near the campaign would be seen as a gift to the SNP?

There was a high-profile launch of Better Together yesterday.

It must be one of the few issues on which Labour Conservatives and LibDems agree.

The SNP argument seems to be founded on cherry picking the bits that suit them (eg North Sea Oil) but not the bits that don't (eg retaining the pound and the monarchy)

It is a completely fabricated case which adds up to total nonsense, and its only credibility seems to come from Alex Salmonds political nous.

Yes, they're in for a shock.

When the price of deep-fried Mars bars soars, because of import tax.

...and when they have to find homes for (and pay benefits to) the many millions of their countrymen who moved south looking for a better life, and will be forcibly repatriated as undesirable aliens.

The no to independence campaign is supported by the three main parties in jockland, Tory Lib/dem and Labour

Scotland hasn't been independent for over 300 years. I can't think of any other country which has become separate after such a long time. Most of the European nations who have become independent in recent times where part of 'artifical' nations created in the war-torn 20th century. Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia etc.

Scotland wanting independence is a bit like Texas wanting independence from the USA. Or Mercia, Wessex, East Anglia and Northumbria wanting to split away from a unified England.

It isn't going to happen.
 
I'm with Jay on this ne, the Welsh have the same benefits.
Give them indepenance, but of course, seeing territorial waters is only 13 miles off the coast we will keep the rigs:D

As it has a bearing on England as well as Scotland, let us have the vote as well. Pretty certain they would get independence then:D
As Scots would then be foreigners we wouldn't have the likes of Blair, Brown, Darling etc. eligible for English parliamentary seats - England for the English:rolleyes:

Of course you're right, Blair was born in Edinburgh.

Though I just found this out, which I didn't know.

'His father Leo, born in Yorkshire, was the illegitimate son of two travelling English actors, Charles Parsons and Celia Ridgway. '

the select surnames website

So, both his grandparents were professional actors.

That figures.

It's in the blood.

:rolleyes:
 
when was the last time an english man was manager of premiership winning club ?

No English manager has ever won the Premiership.

The last English Manager to win the First Division (prior to the Premiership) was Howard Wilkinson of Leeds United in 1991/92.

Sir Alex Ferguson will indeed be repatriated as part of the Scottish Independence agreement, but he will be allowed to appeal and will be given six more minutes than anyone else to state his case.
