Jane and John in Kent, an English fort if ever there was one. Canterbury, nothing more English than Canterbury.
The first of the "Chaucer Life Records" appears in 1357, in the household accounts of Elizabeth de Burgh, the Countess of Ulster.
Now remind me, French, Irish? |

Oy, don't forget America. Where would America be today if it wasn't for migrants on board British built ships such as the Titanic (or was it the Olympic)?
Never, ever forget that it was America which first put man on the moon. (with a tiny ickle bit ov help from Mr. Brown)
Oh, Mr Brown huh? And he was of which nationality?
Hmm..... Awkward, lets gloss over that.
Americans... greatest rocket scientists and all that. |

"I cannot see the UK breaking up,therewill be short term problems but it will pass over.Scotland without us and the EU would be destitute and they would all come south anyway."
Faslane is in which country of the UK?
Airbus is in which country of the UK?
Urenco is in which country of the UK?
When I went to school, I was bullied. The big bad bully told me that without his protection, I would be nothing, I would wither away and die. |

"I cannot see the UK breaking up,therewill be short term problems but it will pass over.Scotland without us and the EU would be destitute and they would all come south anyway."
The UK is already breaking up and people in Wales, Scotland and N Ireland are hearing the English telling them that they would be nothing without English support. It is the same message that the English put out to every ex colony as it pushed for Independence.
the UK and in particular England is in need of the very big wake up call that it will soon get. There are far too many English people with a superiority complex borne from nothing other than being English. Brexit might just finally and once and for all lance the boil of entitlement that is so very damaging to this country.
Are you entitled? If you see equality and fairness as being something of a personal threat to you - then yes you feel entitled.

I don’t believe the english are anything more than a bastard mongrel nation made up of many branches of humankind but unfortunately a large number if them seem trapped in a victorian empire mindset instead of grasping reality and acknowledging that apart from an ability to launder money by creating a property market that is out of all proportion to the ability of normal working class people to enter they basically are doing nothing to improve peoples lives and blaming foreigners for all our woes. |

That's because the overwhelming majority of Nationalist parties ARE far right racist clusterfucks.

Every time a part of the Empire started to resist London rule, the British said the same thing - you are too weak, you are too feeble to live without us.
And you know what, every single time you were proved wrong.
But hey, if it makes you feel superior, carry on.

"If the UK leaves with a no deal will the UK break up within a few years?"
It might take a few years but it's more likely than not.
Being part of the UK is no longer of any advantage to Scotland; post-Brexit, that will become clearer with each passing day.
Why stay to be patronized? To be reminded what a burden you are? To house nuclear weapons you have no need of?
Yes, Independence will have its challenges and disadvantages; but if a country with the population and economy of New Zealand can manage - on the other side of the planet - Scotland should be ok.
There are two main advantages to leaving the UK. Firstly, Scotland would be an actual democracy, like Germany. Secondly, it would be able to act in its own interests.
In any case, who would really want an independent Scotland fail? Who would it make happy? Surely our English friends, the DUP and the Orange Order would wish us well?
Wouldn't they? |

I think all Countries can flourish by being independent but it's how they become independent.
People often sight independant countries arguing if they can do it why can't the UK.
The major difference is the country used as the example has probably been independent for the last 100 years or more. All that time has been spent modelling their economy on their circumstances.
The UK on the other hand has been slowly entwining and developing it's economy and political ties on being a close member of a political entity and many people cannot understand the difference how our situation is a million miles away from say New Zealand and how just flippantly saying if they can easily do it then so can we is so wrong.
Yes we can do it but people are not taking into account the financial harm that this would probably cause and simply brush it away as Project Fear. |

France has approximately the same amount of people as the UK, but France has much more land. Germany has almost 1 extra population for every 3 people more than the UK. The USA has about 5 people for each UK person. But quite a lot more land.
No wonder Donald wants London to be the capital of America. |

In 2014 I think keeping the pound was an important factor for some when deciding whether to separate.
Despite its current performance I think it would still be a strong deciding factor for many if there is indyref2 |

No, the UK will not break up, it will shrink.
I believe, that the current Tory CEO of 'Brexit UK PLC' has already decided that 'NI UK' (the loss making wholly owned subsidiary of Brexit UK PLC) needs to be 'sold off' and 'Scotland Inc' is superfluous to its core business and allow a 'management buyout'. Its just a question of getting the work forces of those 2 problem areas on board and then convincing the shareholders that its really what they want.  |

The toll booths were a matter for Westminster. Going independent doesnt mean introduction of border controls |

Yes, the currency question was a weak spot in 2014.
I believe a commission recently looked at the options.
May be something to announce at the SNP conference.
I suspect it will still be a stick for the No campaign to wield, however. |

I’m sure you are a very nice person but your post lacks a certain amount of knowledge about the difference between Russia and the USSR and a mistaken belief, common because of the lies that have been fed by English media and MPs, that Scotland ( not scots) is subsidised by England.
We all make mistakes and we’re all pulled up when we do. |

I don’t understand the “fear” (if that is the right word) for Scotland to adopt the Euro if it gains independence.
The Euro is an internationally recognised currency that is widely traded on the international markets and is secure. |

Doesn't have the queen's face on it. Seems to be the main thrust of the fear of the Euro.

I agree. But some people don't like change.
The nationalists have gone down the incremental route to narrow the gap, so that independence is perceived to be a small next step, not a huge leap.
Changing your currency at the same time as leaving the Union reminds people it is a big step.
The No campaign knew that and repeatedly said in 2014 they would refuse to share the £.
That said, you don't need anyone's permission to use any currency as your own.
It just means you have no monetary policy. |

In ten years time it won't fucking matter what currency is being used because there won't be such a thing as cash. UK banking regulations is already squeezing it out - it's now impossible to take a fiver along to the bank to deposit in the grandkids saving account, the only way you can put money in their savings is an electronic transfer.
The infrastructure is already there, with tap-and-pay, using bank cards for purchases even less than a pound. The government is very keen on having an audit trail of every transaction, so they know exactly how much everyone has and what they are doing with it. No black economy, no tax fiddles, no way to use stolen money. Except for the ruling elite billionaires who will be running the scheme.
It will all be based on cryptocurrencies - though not bitcoin as that is untraceable, probably Ripple XRP which was specifically invented as a traceable variant on bitcoin, for banks to have their own international electronic currency.
Whether your country calls it pounds, dollars, euros, Scottish shillings, cornish groats, welsh dragons or olde englishe guineas, it'll all be the same thing underneath. A bloody plastic card with a microchip. |
