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?
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2...ence-vote.html Is this all smoke and mirrors? |

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

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 ..

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)?

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  Quote:

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

One that sets a budget for a new building of, err, let's say £10m.
But then has costs of £414m.  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.

 I will be the King.  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".
Maybe Andy Murray known in the world of professional tennis as the 'Moody Scot' could the first king.
