Tracker Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Nobody thought how this would look with the door open - or maybe they did? https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=lying+scotsman+picture It may well be a photo shop job but it made quite a few Scotsmen laugh - and quite a few Englishmen as well!!

Guest pelmetman Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Typical low level spin tactics Rich. But I thought old Salmond gave Darling a vicious kick in the nuts........... when he pointed out that if we wont let the Scots have the pound then they wont pay their share of our collective 1 trillion debt ;-)..................Ooooh I bet that hurt in....... our capitalist vitals (lol)...... Seems like a dam good idea to my quarter Scottish side...........stuff the UK............and start a fresh with a full tank of oil B-).............

Tracker Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 If Salmond takes that line on the national debt I can just imaging how the banks of the world will rate his country's credit worthiness when he needs funds because he sure won't get any support from the UK!!

I dunno Rich ;-)...............a country with NO debts and oil in the backyard? :D...............Sounds like a good risk to me especially as they'd know it was the English government who decided to make them default *-)............

Tracker Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't see it that way Dave. Sterling belongs to the United Kingdom and as far as I know no other country is allowed to use it. If Scotland chooses to leaves the UK it will forfeit the right to use Sterling. If Scotland then defaults on the debt from which it benefited during the during the overly generous years it will assume the financial status of any other unreliable country. Whether it can pay its own debts, benefits, NHS, pensions, and infrastructure etc and all the other costs involved in running a small country as well as pay for all the politicians with noses in the trough by borrowing against future oil production to survive is another matter entirely?

Tracker Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Fair nuff Dave - with the exception of the Falklands the others maybe bring more to the UK table than they take away - I don't know - and just maybe the Falklands has more oil than Scotland and more inclination to share it - at the moment - I don't know that either?

candapack Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I thought initially it would be close, but a NO. Now, with a 100% turnout, I think it would still be NO. BUT, I also think the YES camp will turn out close to 100% on the day, and I don't think the NO camp will come close to that, so I'm thinking yes, it may well be in the bag for Wee Eck.

enodreven Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hi just one question has anyone from the rest (majority) agreed to let Scotland have all of the Oil ? Perhaps a vote by the rest of us may leave Scotland with its just percentage of what is part of the combined wealth of the UK I think its already recorded as on crown land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Joe90 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I vividly remember an interview Salmon gave on the radio some years ago, he could barely disguise his dislike for the English, it would be very interesting to know the proportion of yes voters that will be driven by the same sentiment, I really believe Salmonds prime motivation in seeking independence is just that, a dislike of the English.

enodreven Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi, it does seem to be the way ? I really cant understand why the Scots, Irish and the Welsh all seem to hate the English, where as from most of the English I know dont seem to have the same feeling towards these groups. Can anyone explain why they appear to hate us ? Someone said the Welsh problem has something to do with a Prince Llewellyn or something like that, if its true then why do they hold a grudge for so long And back to the point I made earlier the majority of the UK have not voted or agreed to letting Scotland take a national resorse, I for one if we can get a vote would certainly vote against, if they dont want to take there part of dept then I cant see how they can expect to take all of a UK national resorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The Queen is in Glasgow and she bumped into Alex Salmond. HMtQ: How nice to see you Mr Salmond. AS: Nice to see you Ma’am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence ? How about calling it a Kingdom, and then I’ll be a King? HMtQ: No, we don’t like that. AS: Empire, and I'll be Emperor? HMtQ: No. AS: Alright, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I’ll be a Prince? HMtQ: No Mr Salmond, I suggest we call it a Country.

Guest Peter James Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The Prime Minister has clearly got the wind up because an independent Scotland could get rid of Her Unelected Majesty The Queen. This is the nearest thing to an election for their Head of State that Britain has ever had. That is the last thing a Prime Minister wants because he would lose the enormous power he wields through the Royal Prerogative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English Establishment are promising Scottish subjects but a vote on their Head of State. Thats what makes me think they have got the wind up. Cameron is really in the sh*t for giving them a vote, if they vote yes he is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
