    The question is, can Scotland really be considered a Country anymore? Surely it is no more than another English County.
    It relies on English taxes to stop it's inhabitants from starving to death.
    English has long been it's language.
    It has now belonged to England for more years than anyone cares to remember and has no doubt benefitted from the English being kind masters.

    So let's all lose the silly pretend competition and embrace each other as a father embraces his son.

    No, like England it is a Kingdom. Wales, on the other hand, is a 'Principality'. <rofl>

    Scotland has its own Parliament. England doesn't.

    You actually have to ask is England a country?

    It depends on your definition of 'country'. As far as the UN and the US State Department are concerned, it isn't. But by the same measure, neither is England.

    The only time Scotland is a country is when they are facing a last minute qualification scramble for the euros or world cup

    Any other time its a bunch of bickering alcoholic bigots on welfare

    Scotland's no more of an independent country than Jersey. Jersey also has its own parliament (the States of Jersey) and is independent from UK tax. We have our own, separate, law. We're not part of the EU, and I think all of this is the same for Guernsey as well.

    Except England doesn't have its own Parliament.

    England's got a ****ing Queen, beeyatch!

    Anyway, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are the UK, that's the country. They're just parts of that country.

    I hope our "parliament" burns to the ground one day. What have they actually given us?
