May 4TH...Independence Day?
 

Early indications suggest that the Scottish National Party are going to win the elections taking place here. They,ve said that one of their primary objectives is the dissolution of the Union. Seems funny, thinking Britain will cease to exist. Wonder what the future holds...... :?

A "PUNCH IN THE FACE FROM A FUZZY KITTEN"???? I don't know. Somehow, I can't see a country being desolved from within. Changed, but not gone. And what do they propose to do with the Queen??????

Scotland would become a republic. The United Kingdom would consist of England, Wales and Northern Ireland with the Queen still as head of state. It may not happen just yet as no party has sufficient votes to take control. Looks like we will have a coalition government here. Full independence will have to wait a little while yet.

I don't think Britain has ever existed. The only "British" people I know are Englishmen who are afraid to call themselves English.

Not my country, not my politics, no stone throwing implied or intended. I just know a lot of people in Scotland and Northern Ireland who get seriously pissed off if I refer to them as "British." Hence the remarks.

The above post is one of self expression-it must be, as it is so badly informed and lacking knowledge of British history, politics etc etc.
Oh, and I AM ENGLISH! And not afeared to utter that anywhere on Earth.
By the way, who are these "Hordes" of Irishmen and Scotsmen you know?
If they all detest the Union so much then why on Earth did their forebears fight so valiantly in defence of Britain on numerous occasions?
My Great Grandfather included-Tynside Irish, Somme, La Boisselle 7th July 1916.

Wot, your not going to waste the try and explain this are you? The Americans get their views from movies like Braveheart and Far and Away and of course the TV News.. where the IRA are the hero's... :shock:

:lol: :lol: Good point Fozzy mate :wink:

Fozzy is just smarter than the rest of the world; just ask him he will tell you in his CAD famous condescending bold type....lol

Hey now, dont be bashin' Braveheart! The horse he rides is awesome :D
