Poll: Should Scotland be free?

[techs]

I, for one, think its time to free the unfortunate people of Scotland from thier English overlords.

Poll: Should Scotland be free?

No, that would be disastrous.

The people of Scotland should still be charged appropriate sums for a wide range of things, such as petrol and fish.

You really don't want these highland cross-dressers to get off . . . wait for it . . . Scot Free! :biggrin:

 

[Born2bwire]

Considering how the English treated them when I watched Braveheart I can say unequivocally YES.

P.S.

Blackwatch Plaid!

 

[overst33r]

Only if they keep their silly accents

 

[IronWing]

Yes. And we should give England back to the Italians. They did nice things with it.

 

[HAL9000]

No.

 

[Maximilian]

Yes!

 

[Lonyo]

Yes. All they do is suck away English money. Screw the Scots and let them fend for themselves, if they really think they can.
We got most of the viable oil and gas, so there's no reason to hang onto Scotland anymore.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

No from me.

 

[BassBomb]

yes. And we should give england back to the italians. They did nice things with it.

Define Free.

Seperate country like Cananda/Australia but part of the commonwealth

Or seperate country such as India.


/edit - apparently India is still considered to be part of the commonwealth. I was hoping to identify a country other than the US that was once part of England and is no longer part of the common wealth

Either. It's up to them once they have overthrown the English tyranny to decide for themselves.

oh look, another mind-numbingly dumbing Techs thread

if it weren't for the rest of the UK, Scotland would return to being nothing but sheep farmers and drunks. I love the Scots, but saying that they're oppressed is so incredibly stupid that it must be nothing other than trolling.

What's wrong with being sheep farmers and drunks? Beats the shit out of my life :^D

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Not necessarily free, but I wouldn't pay more that .79 cents a pound for it.

I approve of this thread:

My fault - I know that there are countries beside the US that were once part of the English empire.

Why do you think that there currently is English tyranny?

Scotland is a rich country, with vast oil, gas, coal, water, timber and human reserves. Yet for years, no matter how Scotland voted, it was the majority in England that decided who ruled in Westminster and controlled these resources. For 18 years of Conservative (Tory) rule (1979-1997), unwanted policies were forced on Scotland, while London ignored Scottish demands for Self-Government.


Scotland has taken the first steps to regaining her self-confidence providing for the first time ever a democratically elected and accountable system of government. The Scottish Parliament will initially only be responsible for home affairs and will be subject to Westminster, however, it is expected that as it grows in confidence and ability it will seek more and more areas of responsibility.

The New Labour Government held a referendum on 11th September 1997 in which 74% voted YES to reconvening the Scots Parliament, and 64% voted YES to give it limited tax-varying powers.
