It's best to see the positives of what the union brought, like the peace it brought to the island.

I haven't seen you prove anything, just a lot of hearsay, which is suggesting the English are all evil and the Scots are all innocent victims.
I have said nothing like that. What the hell are you talking about? You keep trying to bring stuff like this up and I have little interest in it. It your obseession.

Many paid in that war, even with their own lives, the idea that the highlanders somehow superior to all the other allies sounds like hype.
It is often said. Did you catch that recent channel four show on WWI? They recall how the Germans hated facing the highlanders worst of all and the Allies disliked the Prussians.

Yep, it's all England's fault, even though the estates in Scotland petitioned for a union many times after a failed attempt to unite the parliaments by a Scottish king.
What are you talking about? It took alot of pressure on the Scottish aristocracy, who controlled the parliament, to unite the nations and was met with riots in Glasgow and Edinburgh. The English whigs threatened the aristocrats in various ways and offered them bribes and promises and just managed to push it through.

I don't blame England, it was a measure forced on us by a small whig oligarchy, which for 50 years or more forced its will on all Britain, England included.

Hitler used the term socialist to gain support(and actually failed to get much working class support.), he was far right except for a few slogans.

Indeed because this person is extremely strange and keeps making the most random and silly comments.

Somehow Stalin was introduced to a discussion of Scotland for instance.

Youse have obviously not been reading my charming website,
which on almost the first line of the first page states:
GOD WILLING THIS WEBSITE HAS THREE PURPOSES:

1.)
To awaken Scotland to the machinations of the mammalian apparatchiks of the officially Godless EUROPEAN UNION.

2.)
To Awaken Scotland to "COMMON PURPOSE"
a criminal organisation.

3.)
To encourage Scots- Americans, Scots-Canadians, Scots-Australians, Scots-New Zealanders, Scots in England, to return to Scotland and stop the ILLEGAL immigration elements flooding Scotland.
To stop the break-up of Scotland and the UK into 'Regions' controlled by the OFFICIALLY Godless communistic, nazi, New World Order, European Union.

By the sounds of it you blame England for pretty much everything.

C4 is worse than the BBC, but if it makes you happy then sure, all the other allies was pussies in comparison.

Actually, he got loads of support and whether he was far-right is down to opinion.

Stalin was mentioned in order to point out that far-left can be fascist. The lefties in power now use political correctness to silence debate, that is a form of fascism.

Fine, I am extremely strange, if we have sunk down to the level of getting personal Typical lefty tripe.

He certainly had many leftist policies, which he enacted.

I thought BonnieDundee was of libertarian leaning?

Personally, I am fed up of these nationalist rantings, on both sides. I'm fed up with the who 'subsidises who' argument. It completely misses the point and makes us blind to what is really going on. That the net tax-payers are not entire nations, but individuals. John Q Citizen is paying more tax than he recieves in benefits to fund some Brooklyn or Chianne who have decided to have five kids together, despite the fact that he is in prison.

I suggest that we all read 'That which is seen, and that which is not seen' by Frederic Bastiat. An amazing essay which I have just finished reading.
