Scottish Independence?
 
Remember hearing rumours long ago joking about Sean Connery becoming king of Scotland but had not even realized this was seriously in the wings! So what happens if Scotland leaves the UK?

Is this all smoke and mirrors?

They'll have to change the flags, for one thing.

On the other hand, the only reason they joined in the first place was because they got to choose the king. :O:

All smoke and mirrors, no it's true.
But i can see Thatcher sending the Falkland fleet to Scotland, from her grave ..

What happens, if they leave ?
Maybe then they will be better off economically, and join the EU .. :D

About time this came to a head and was decided. But why should it just be the Scots who have the vote, why not the whole country (as is)? :hmmm:

Catfish 01-11-12 05:13 AM

Hmm ok, i just wonder did they let go India with the votes of the whole Commonwealth ? :hmmm:

More Scottish minister presidents in Germany in an effort to conquer the continent by infiltration? :D

(David McAllister is minister president of the federal state of Lower Saxony). :)

Hehe,
but McAllister is more interested in chasing women and getting bribed, than helping Scotland or an invasion of Europe ... but Allister as scottish prime minister - we can still hope ;)

IF Scotland becomes independent it will be interesting to see what form of government they will take.

Herr-Berbunch 01-11-12 09:35 AM

One that sets a budget for a new building of, err, let's say £10m.

But then has costs of £414m.

:doh:

Scotland takes out more than it puts into the pot, so I'm interested to see how long free tuition and prescriptions last.


*Edit - I know that all building costs associated with any government spiral out of control, but over x40 is really funny.

NO! :stare:




I will be the King. :smug:

I promise to my future subjects to fix state's financial problems by taking away their services and money.

They don't have to worry about what to do as benevolent King will assign them their mining and herding assignments. His Majesty's secretariat will also take care of proper and absolutely unbiased news service.

That's great deal isn't it? :-?

Wonder if the Brits would rename "New Scotland Yard" to "The New Metropolitan Police Yard Formerly Known Before Those Traitorous Skirt Wearing Bastiges to the North Seceded As Scotland Yard". :hmmm:

Maybe Andy Murray known in the world of professional tennis as the 'Moody Scot' could the first king.

No need to have added the words 'of professional tennis'. :yep:

I dunno about anyone else but i'd much rather have her than him. She is much nicer to look at.
