I've had the displeasure of meeting more people from Cumbernauld than Coatbridge so I can't disagree.
see post 9740 for one example today alone. Loads of people I know have had phone calls out of the blue from friends and relatives in England asking us how we are voting. Aye, but they're not interested.
Just been out for dinner with my folks. My dad wants you all to **** off.. Two faced back stabbing bastards were his words
Bearing in mind I found out his side of the family heritage is cafflik and derives from Cork.
Backstabbing? The Jocks and the Micks were the fodder for your empire building ya fanny.
Loads of people I know haven't even mentioned it. There haven't been any protests or public shows of affection by English and Welsh people. Like I said, the only people kicking up a fuss about the Union being broken up are politicians. Ambivalence is a perfect word to describe what most people in the rUK feel.
I think it has hurt your ego a bit that some people aren't interested.
Sweat's dad has to study his history, the Scots have never stabbed England in the back since the union, the only ones who got stabbed were the Celts.
You forget that it wasn't 'our' (English) empire, it was the British Empire. You weren't the fodder for our empire, you were the fodder for YOUR empire.
Talk about a victim complex. This is why I want Scotland to take responsibility for its actions in the world, so it can stop blaming the English for all its problems like NHS cuts which they're responsible for.
There are major ramifications if the Union splits, politicians know this, Joe Bloggs doesn't.
Seat on the security council still be there? The Russkies be rubbing their hands for starters.
Aye, it conflicts me. The worst British soldiers here were the Jocks, still I want the UK broke up so what's a man to do?
No they weren't, they were oppressed by the English. Everyone knows that...
yeah but they didnt want to do it , we must have forced them as we are so terrible....they had to do as we told them .
Just like all those guys in the shipyards , they didnt want to build warships , we made em do it .
What did Ireland get out of this Empire? In fact, what did the English poor get out of this Empire 'crept being sent to kill darkies and injuns?
You just want to be Irish. . I personally don't want the UK split up. If it does I just hope the Shetland isles go independent from Scotland and take their oil. The beel from salmond as his holes and dreams crumble would be hilarious.
