Don't tell me - the drugs problem is the only thing the english are not responsible for. "Your drug problem is bigger than our drug problem". Straight out of the school playground playbook.
With what Mrs old school spends on her Barnet if she came back looking like that I'd make sure the hairdresser wouldn't be holding shear's again
you have just got me thinking, the Argyle and Southern highlanders Black Watch in fact all the the forces are paid for buy us, we take all the band equipment uniforms regiments and colours tanks and equipment, still think Independence is good you wouldn't even be able to do an Edinburgh military tattoo, you would also have to buy the castle and holyrood as the English built it and we want our coin back, as Scotsmen are world renowned for being tight arsed,
We try, but the english establishment just don't want to let us go for some reason. This was proposed & passed by Westminster prior to the 1979 Referendum: During the passage of the Scotland Act 1978 through Parliament, an amendment introduced by Labour MP George Cunningham added a requirement that the bill had to be approved by 40% of the total registered electorate, as well as a simple majority (50% + 1). Put as simply as I can make it, absolutely NO UK Government would have been elected - ever! with that amendment. Result? The result of the referendum in Scotland was a narrow majority in favour of devolution (52% to 48%), but a condition of the referendum was that 40% of the total electorate should vote in favour in order to make it valid. But the turnout was only 63.6%, so only 32.9% of the electorate voted "Yes". No self-respecting Government should put such a block in place. Moving it to perhaps a more understandable parallel, can you imagine voting for the Leeds POTY, but it can only be won when at least 40% of all Leeds fans vote for one person. I don't know the numbers, but let's say there are 1m worldwide. 600k votes would be required to win, and yet, only 10k or so fans vote. (Just trying to illustrate the stupidity of the amendment in more understandable terms). Why did the english Government allow this? So much for fairness to all, especially as Scotland is considered to be a financial millstone around england's neck, if you listen to the english grunteratti.
Exactly the point! But aim your blows at the more local tory-hater that 'attends to' Boris the Basturd's mop.
that being the case then the English will vote for independence for you,and we can be repaid what you owe us plus we save at least 11 bill a year
so will you move back over the boarded and beg McCrankie for the licking of her bowl or ask for asylum in England
To be fair though, a vote for Leeds' POTY, where there could be several potential winners, is not a good comparison to a YES/NO Independence Vote, which has only two choices. If it was so bad being part of the UK it should be easy to get the required percentage. A landslide I would have thought hmmm....
if you're on about Culloden, it was the jocks who beat the riever highlanders cattle thieves and murderers, or do you believe the ****e of the movies,check out who the scottish laird with the aid of scottish troops was who wiped them out at Culloden and banned the tartan
Will still be here for the duration until the Scottish branch of MI6 allows me to retire. Then I'll consider waving to my favourite sign for the last time.
Scotland a breathtakingly beautiful country, with proud Scotsmen lions, led by idiots who rob them blind, to line their own pockets, and fill them full of loyalty ****,its not the highland mist that gets you wet its the SNP pissing down your leg and telling you its raining
Leeds POTY? Just an off the top of my head example. It was the gulf of ~600k vs ~10k that was the whole point of that exercise. Even if the 10k voted for the one, single player, he's get bugger all without the other 590,001 votes. Showing your ignorance of politics, old boy! The Wicked Witch allocated all available top jobs to english candidates in the likes of NHS, Civil Service, Local Government, & in hundreds of other agencies. It backfired on her. Not only did she get deposed as PM, but the english big nobs she appointed liked living up there & there was an exodus of extended families joining them. They all got a vote. That impacted the vote. Ensuring that residency played a part dropped it too, as Scots like myself were prevented from voting.
The irony of it WJ. You've chosen to live in that '****e' for decades what the ****'s wrong with you ffs
