I'm not going to side with anyone thank you very much.

To me this argument seems so odd.

However, Dundee does have a point considering your mentioning of the Confederates. Even if it were absolutely true (and I don't know nor care either way), what is it meant to show? I'm not saying that you were wrong to post it, it's just that your reasons for doing so seem rather illusive.

So, what was the purpose of it?

Considering the SNP claim to be left-wing, I find it rather disturbing that they have support from far-right and fascist organizations in the States (pointing out the article)

Apparently by doing so makes me a bigot and a liar, which just suggests I may of been on to something. I pointed out Pike when I was challenged about the origins of the confederate flag. Instead of disproving my point, a snide complaint about me happened, which I can only assume was a tactic to get me silenced.

P.S. I have to do stuff, back in an hour.

That's all well and good, but it doesn't really answer my question of why on earth this was brought up in the first place.

Am I missing something here?

Ek illke Scottonpries plonikart! Ha Ha Ha!

Translated: You Scotch Plonker!

Even Blair copied most of Thatcher’s good ideas regarding the management of the economy.

How many of the traditional industries weren't going down the tubes anyway?
Far more jobs in coal, steel, shipbuilding, etc. were lost in the fifties and sixties than under Thatcher.

In comparison with Blair/New Labour, Thatcher was about as straight as you can get - you can hardly say that she wasn't clear about her policies.

The truth of the matter was that England under Labour throughout the late 60s and much of the 70s was an economic basket case - Thatcher was elected to change that.

Most people who rely on welfare such as the Scotch forget that at the time the alternative was Michael Foot! The same Michael Foot who said, ideally, he would like a wage range of £3000 at the lower limit to £7000 at the upper.
Thatcher was the realist - Foot was a fantasist.

Look around the EC - how many countries are run like Britain was in the 70s?

Things had to change in England - and they did.

Compare car ownership in England now with 1979.
Compare house ownership now with 1979.
Compare the type of holidays people go on now with 1979.
Compare the quality of goods in the shops with 1979.

Interesting, a Norwegian who cannot even speak Norwegian.

Maybe our accusations of 'troll' have now been fully justified.

Who are you?

Not only interesting but understandable considering it was probably the ONLY invention outside the English Union the Scotch can be credited with…….without a citation!

If anyone tried to fly the Scotch flag or even the Lion Rampant in the South they would probably be lynched due to the hate and contempt the people feel and express towards the Scotch due to their connection today and................. forming of the KKK in the past.

Who are you Mr. Troll?

Or are you just another collectivist lefty like the rest of them?

Perhaps, as the topic it was mentioned was about Scotland's US following.

I am not trying to insult anyone, although you seem to be attempting to say that the whole World is wrong in his or her stereotype of Scotch people for some reason.

Anyway back to the point: - The Scotch have always had their snouts in the English trough, and their grasping hands in her pockets: since they attempted to build an Empire to match the English one – remember the failed “Darian Empire” since then they have always been dependant on English Hand-outs and the English aren't likely to forget how successful Scotch PM's sold them out to Europe whilst still scavenging from the England pockets.

Don’t forget it was a Scottish PM that sent England into an illegal war whilst he pretended to be English.

What lucky discovery or ingenuity was needed to reach these high standards?

(“Cut and Pasted from another Board”)

The Scotch have the highest rate of illiteracy in Europe – even behind Ireland.
The Scotch have the highest rates of pre-foetal alcoholism in the World.
They are the only Western Country this Century that has had a known case of Bubonic plague.
They have the highest rates of infant drug and solvent dependency in Western Europe.
They have a higher rate of the human form of sheep Pox than Wales and New Zealand.
They have MORE people living below the poverty line than Albania (per head of population) yet have MORE OBESE children (per head of population) than America.
The Scotch have the lowest life expectancy in Europe and the third lowest when alcoholical dementia is taken out of the equation:
They have the highest rate of Arteriosclerosis in the Free World.

Scotch women give birth to the highest rates of pre-natal/(foetal) drug dependency infants in the World.
It is the ONLY Country in the World that EU health workers have advised ALL pregnant mothers against breast-feeding their offspring.

The Scotch have the third highest rates of Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, HIV and Clymadia in the EU behind France and Belgium.



I have never understood this 'Scottish Oil' argument - the only claim the Scots have is that of an accident of geography.

It is not a resource that they have discovered, developed or manufactured either - it was us Norwegians and English who found it and got it out of the ground, certainly it was vital to the English and British economy in the 70's but England has been vital to the Scots economy for three hundred years.

The union was brought about by the failure of the arrogant Darian project, which bankrupted Scotland and England had to bail them out.

Not that this matters now of course, but for sure if the Scotch become independent then their profligacy with English handouts and public funds will have to be ended and the begging bowl moved to the EU.

Bit of advice for you here - Try digesting or answering the message no matter how much it sticks in your craw or is unpalatable for you rather than insulting the messenger!
