Thankfully, the UK Electorate has seen sense in demonstrating its overwhelming oppositionto 'Alternative Voting'.
Concurrently, Alec Salmondand the SNP have won a clear mandate to govern north of the border ... boosting the Party's [longer term] visions of *Scotland becoming independent.
But ... like [still] many of my fellow countrymen (and women - lest anyone accuse me of being sexist!) I hope and
that such a split will *NEVER be allowed to happen!
It's nice to see a Scot firmly in favor of the union. I agree and believe the UK is far stronger as a country with Scotland, England, Wales and NI all playing a role. I'm British and proud of it (despite what my forum name says
)
We also have the best flag in the world, I'd hate the see the blue soltire go from it
Salmond wouldn't have any £ to spend if it wasn't for the English taxpayer
If we split then how the Scots going to jobs here-they will be illegal immagrants
Seriously tho I hope they stay in UK
Can they fill the place up with all our illegals first please.
...Or we could always shove them across the border later, like the Italians do.
I've always dreamed of those grubs and the criminals being shipped out in their underwear to that island where they meddled with anthrax in WWII - all is needed is to ring it with razor wireOriginally Posted by grahamw48

Whatever the English or Scots say about each other in jest, we have both made each others nations stronger in the last 400 years.
Yesterday I heard on the radio that there will be 7 Glaswegian Managers in the Premier League next season. Most of greatest English League managers have been Scots. Scots have also played an important role in many other areas (Medicine, Science, discovery, banking, insurance, electronics...etc) and helped GREAT BRITAIN become the super power that it was during the Industrial Revolution and Victorian Era.
Both nations have helped each other, we should stop the talk of independent nations and stand proudly together with the Welsh (and Northern Irish) as the United Kingdom of Great Britain (& NI)
The Welsh
What about all the Scottish politicians, captains of industry etc in England ?
I deliberately didn't mention the recent bunch of Labour Chancellors....I wouldn't blame their incompetence on being Scottish though...more to do with Labours historical ability to completely screw up the economy by giving freebies to people who don't deserve them...they've had plenty of English Chancellors who've made a mess of it too.What about all the Scottish politicians, captains of industry etc in England ?
And Gordon Brown
Well, maybe we could cancel his passport and then deport him back to Haggisland.
And what about that lunatic who was on Big Brother ?
Three cheersfor the RED, WHITE and BLUE ...
And long may we continue to flourish as one great Nation!
Three cheers
Why should Scottland not be its own indapendant country? I suport that.
I agree with Arthur on this one, I lived in Scotland for a long time as a child, and I think that there is very strong support for the continuation of the union. I'ts not so much the English that they love, it's her majesty the queen
Agreed.
One of the things that never seems to get pointed out is that if Scotland becomes independent, it will not be in the EU, nor will it have an embassies around the world with 'buddy' contacts for business. It'd have to start from scratch and therefore be lower down the pecking order than the Faroe Islands.

Much as I dislike the very notionof Scotland ever "going it alone" ...
... would thatREALLY be such a bad thing?
ed-up wee windbag!
And ... God forbid ... his Deputy, Nicola Sturgeon seems to be a product of "that ilk", herself! Let's suppose her boss got his way ... and it all went pear-shaped ... which it surely would ...Salmond
... it'd be a case of ""
