Do you know what Warrior,, the best days for Scotland were during the Empire days, (even with all the Empire's faults). Glasgow was the second city of the Empire, and Scotland was also the workhouse of the Empire,, jobs a plenty
Yes, yes the glorious(English) Empire built on our blood sweat and tears...an Empire that's been in total decline through most of the 20th century. The glory days eh? poorhouses, inner city slums, disease, malnutrition, no education, only prospects are to join the army and fight endless wars (Oh, and it's just like that today in so many respects!)
We may have had the industries of an "empire" long ago but they're all but gone- mining, steel, fishing, shipbuilding, engineering to name but a few- the only modern resemblance to an empire is that we side with the Yanks to go and steal 3rd world resources.
Scotland gets the scraps off the table every time- We can thank our successive Westminster masters for that, for the treasonous acts of parliament that took us into Europe for a start, ensuring globalisation would finish off the working class good and proper.
And when their Westminster political life is on the line you can be sure it's Scots/Welsh/Irish jobs on the line to pander to their fickle "middle England" voters. As I've said before, we've twice as many Pandas in Scotland as Westminster based Tories- why should that F-wit Cameron be dictating from a coalition with no majority to a population that decided unequivocally who they want in power? Labour are only a force in Western/Central Scotland because these tw*ts who live in the weedgie ghettos still believe Labour represent the working class man of days gone by!
Scotland on it's own now wouldn't last 5 minutes. 2 or 3 years ago, Alex Salmond used to use Ireland as an example to follow. He called Ireland the "Celtic Tiger",,, grrrr, but look at it now,, it's skint and run by France and the Gerries. More of a "purring pu$$y". He never mentions Ireland nowadays.
Scotland wouldn't last 5 mins? Says who? The whole Eurozone/world is in deep cr*p and that's how the international banksters want it, these boom and bust cycles don't just happen. One thing is for sure we'll never know if we adopt this "chickens*it conformist like our parents" attitude.
Scotland at present has great potential in leading the way in many renewable energy developments, we still have oil, the best tourism in the "UK" by far, and are lucky to have a far better legal and education system(just look for the worst spelling and grammar on here and check their "location"....!).
So what if Salmond deals direct with the Yanks or anyone else, better dealing face to face than having some unnecessary chinless public schooled toff ar*ehole as a "middleman" to broker the deal and keep the lions share.
God help Scotland if it lets Salmond and the "anti English" SNP run the country. I'd NEVER vote in favour of independence. You've got to use your "brains" on this one, not your heart!!!
"God tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're f****d...FREEEEEEEDOM!!!!!"
