Don't think he's gonna give up even then
But I've already voted by post so it's wasted on me - especially as I need to be run back across the border as I'm English |

I'm no historian so correct me if I'm wrong, but this "evil empire", was it the English Empire? As I say, I could be wrong, but I always understood it to be the BRITISH Empire.
And Scotland being part of Britain was part of the British Empire. And from what I do know of history, there were many Scots in positions of leadership and power in far flung parts of the Empire, many making considerable fortunes in the process.
To be honest, putting a warped slant on history does you, and the YES campaign, no favours! |

But we had this discussion last week about the 'Empire' and it still hasn't sunk in bothy.
Maybe if we made Dave into Darth it might help? |

"Have to say it amuses me when people are selective with historical facts.
Re the Empire angle, has independence always been the great Utopia?
Uganda/Amin? Zimbabwe/Mugabe?"
Would you please stop talking sensibly about thus issue Bothy, haven't you learned to ignore facts and concentrate on falsehoods and propaganda,
If people listen to sense how the hell will Emperor Alex 1 ever get to reign |
