william wallace is now a subject of the English queen! where the f*ck is scotland? is that a nation? i thought it was part of what we call England, where English is spoken and not that shitty scottish dialect that you call language, you're subjects of the english queen! scottish slaves!
The Queen is Germano-Scottish and the reason we both have the same monarch is because a Scottish King took a frigid ginger English queen's throne when she popped it. Look up on history before you open your stupid mouth.

Apocalypse is a 1998 third-person action game for the PlayStation, developed by Neversoft and published by Activision. It is notable for featuring actor Bruce Willis, who provides the main character's likeness and voice, as well as being the first game by Neversoft, prior to launching their blockbuster "Tony Hawk" franchise.
The chupacabras[1] (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃupaˈkaβɾas], from chupar "to suck" and cabra "goat", literally "goat sucker") is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated more recently with sightings of an allegedly unknown animal in Puerto Rico (where these sightings were first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities.
The Battle of Alesia or Siege of Alesia took place in September, 52 BC around the Gallic oppidum of Alesia, a major town centre and hill fort of the Mandubii tribe. It was fought by an army of the Roman Republic commanded by Julius Caesar, aided by cavalry commanders Mark Antony, Titus Labienus and Gaius Trebonius, against a confederation of Gallic tribes united under the leadership of Vercingetorix of the Averni.
@NOVATICANWARS It was the last major engagement between Gauls and Romans, marking the turning point of the Gallic Wars in favour of Rome. The Siege of Alesia is considered one of Caesar's greatest military achievements and a classic example of siege warfare and investment. The battle of Alesia can safely be described as marking the end of Celtic dominance in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Northern Italy.
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man had been the first on-screen pairing of two Universal Studios monsters, but House of Frankenstein was the first multi-monster (often called "monster rally") movie. Early drafts of the story reportedly involved more characters from the Universal stable, including the Mummy, Captive Wild Woman, The Mad Ghoul, and possibly The Invisible Man.

Oh sorry is the ability to read and write or possess a vocabulary threatening and a sign of homosexuality in your scheme? Or indeed some actual understanding of our history.
TuS Komet Arsten is a German football club from the district of Arsten, in the city of Bremen in northwestern Germany. It was established in 2006 through the merger of TuS Arsten and VfB Komet Arsten, both of which appeared in second division play after World War II.
i think salmond should be punished, becuz he hasnt done what he promised, wheres the independence referendum ? is he scared ? scotland has to wake up, and stopped being robbed its oil, like BP has done for 40 years ! im sure an independent scotland would be much richer, than a scotland oppressed by England
Salmond is smart but he couldn't get a referendum in the last 4 years because the other parties blocked it. Now pushing it further forward is the smartest thing to do until everyone in Scotland is aware of what would happen and of course till we get Scotland ready.Rush it out the unionists and frightened sheep will vote against it, the U.K media will make sure to worry the sheep.
Dos anyone agree with independence for the LOWLANDS?Makes sense surely,the highlands tradtionally Gaelic speaking. the lowlands English and Scots (a type of old English) tWO differnt people,sin the one country.why not?
Nope, Scotland has been Scotland for nearly a thousand years. Most of the people who dwelled the lowlands had to move to from the Highlands, that's why most people have gaelic last names, that's why our two big cities Glasgu and Dun Edin have names that stend from Gaelic that's why our country is called SCOTland.
@Cybopath The Picts Gaels , Norse in the North Britons Angles in the South. Scots(old English) spoken in the lowlands and South East.Most people in Scotland DONT have Gaelic last names!...... Mooth ,,YOURS.. AWE ..Broon!
most people in the lowlands don't have gaelic names? that is absolute bull go find a Glasgow or Edinburgh phonebook and tell me how big the Mc,Mac section is! Highlanders and Irish flocked to the lowlands for work during the clearences and famon. My last name is Anglicized gaelic aswell if that was you trying to be funny. Plus I've never heard the only Highland city wish for this.
@Cybopath The big Mac Section?Double Cheesburger fae the poun Menu?Peole from ALL over Scotland and Czarist russia arrived in Glasgow and west Central Scotland, ,I<VE known that before you were born ya tube, And i cldnt give a fk what your last name is , noW PISS off yur a troll.
The fact you are twice the age of me and thick as fuck is nothing to gloat about. You said that most people in lowland Scotland don't have names of Gaelic origin now mock anyone who is a Mac (gaelic for son of) yea names like MacLean and McGowan are unheard of in Lowland Scotland.
And no I won't piss off, guess it's scary when you're not insulting school girls from behind your keyboard grandad.
'ave ave yu?' Lol are you sure you finished high school? Or are you one of the thousands of illiterate Scots? No you have not insultied me by having no clue about the culture or country you live in only amused me in your sheer lack of intelligence. More swears please let's hear all the juicey dirty words.
A shift in power in scottish politics has begun! The S.N.P are writting there names into scottish history and are making the doubters believe they will see INDEPENDENCE in there lifetime!!! I just have always know in my heart that One day i would see the union from scotland end and scotland would become independent from the powers of westminster! It was inevitable that when an english queen open the scottish parliment after 400 years over a period of time INDEPENDENCE would come knocking.
snp for independence from the uk, ukip at the european elections for independence from the fascist EU, made ireland vote twice and ignored the no results from the french and the dutch, nobody in europe wants it apart from the fat cats and the statist pigs
hope scotland does get independance the bbc r so biased .unionists dont want scottish independance because england needs scotland to buy them out and scotland has political and independance votes r on the up saying that scotland can not survive on its own is racist. scots we r not slaves we have no political power or say in our waters our oil our money is all getting robed of us dont take it vote SNP
Blair's UK was the first country to join US and bomb Serbia to "free Kosovars" and to occupy the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohia, and, finally, recognise its "independence." You have been to your future - in others' past. Free Scotland will be as prosperous as Norway is!
@GLORD99092 Yes he's a British citizen but he was born in Scotland, it doesn't make a bloody difference. I'm pro-German Unity, that doesn't make me German. I'm a unionist who resides in the constituent country of England.
From Catalonia to people of Scotland :) We're kind of the same point; even worse, Spanish Constitutional Court (totally politised institution) has limited the Home Rule aproved by 90% of votes in the Parliament of Catalonia and after in referendum by catalan citizens. This 10th July we're celebrating a demonstration with the motto "We are a nation. We decide".
You can see the spot in youtube searching "we're dreaming somniem". I guess scots will get indentified with it :)
These scots have had there democratic Right! taken away from them who live in England and wales who was born in scotland that unfortunatly is still part of this failing union thats supposed to benefit scots! So why cant them scots who are in england and wales vote on the scottish referendum and on scottish affairs???? 30,000 votes thats not allowed that would make a huge difference!! WHY????
I live in England yet was born in Scotland, so I dont get a say. Noone ever speaks about us, we don't get the right to vote on such affairs. Yet those born in England yet live in Scotland do? If independence was going to really be voted on, to be acted upon there needs to be reconciliation on whos who and who gets to vote where, not an easy task. This island is small enough without trying to fragment things.
@IceSlice21 Correct! Not an easy task but a loop hole in the constitution that really needs to be addressed as its stopping a major migority of so called BRITISH people from voting.Scots living in england and wales that was born in scotland are starting to feel that labour and conservative are fail with there same politics term after term and they would like to have a say or to improve scotland to give them a more of a positive option to move back north with employment and immigration lot better
Scotland isnt an oppressed region. Its fully represented in the House of commons. The reason you have less mps than england, is because we have more people. Its only fair we have more mps
If anything Scotland has too much power. Scotland has its own Parliament and gets to vote in Westminster. Yet England doesnt have a Parliament and Scottish MPs get to vote for English affairs. thats not fair
Also the referendum for independence is a joke. Parliament is supreme and wont recognize it
@ALMAlex5 The European parliament is now supreme so less of that sort of bullishness. I would concede however that if the UK left the EU then that comment would have more of a standing.
How can scotland, even think to become independant they use the English money to get free universities, and we pay over £1bn a year to u scots, so theres ur finances gone and what r u gonna do, u got parliament to get through 600+ Mps, plus the prime minister and then u've even got to hav Commonwealth approval and finally u've got to get the Monarchys approval and if she says no ur shitted.
@gouledw As much as I respect the opinion of a man with such a flamboyant use of commas, I might be more inclined to listen to the leagues of respected economists throughout the world who underline the economic benefit an independent Scotland would enjoy. I can refer you to some of the papers if you'd like? However, judging by your earlier statements I presume you conform to the belief that ignorance is bliss?
we just need to keep believing and eventually we will rise above the unionist propoganda generated by Westminster which is misleading some Scots that we cannot go it alone. Hopefully enough of us will realise the facts and produce a 'Yes' vote in the inevitable referendum. come on Scotland we can do it!
I think you'll find the English came out worse over this marriage, tied to our oldest enemy for centuries, and you say 88% are in favour of Independence so why aren't you taking to the streets demanding it, haven't seen many mass rallies in all your towns and cities, you just talk about it but never do it, the day it happens we'll both be celebrating, but is there any chance you could encourage the millions of Scots living in England to go back over the border..
@highlandladdie09 Almost a million, where did you pluck that figure from, that would make it almost one in five people in Scotland being English, behave, but I'll do you a deal, we'll take all the English back over the border and you can have all the Scots back, I warn you you're going to be a bit cramped up there because there really is millions down here, but don't worry they all believe in Freedom and Independence, or so they keep telling us..
@mhffc Yes, are you basing the opinions of an entire nation on the views of one individual? I think the fact that during the signing of the treaty they had to impose martial law (to quell the rioting in all of Scotland's major towns and cities) suggests a fair percentage of the population was of a slightly different opinion to James VI. It is also well documented that bribery was involved and that it was `contrary to the inclinations of at least three-fourths of the Kingdom'.
@cmcdonaldalba It still stands that a Scots King created the Union, as it was a Norman King who first went into Ireland, but the Celts would just rather blame the English for everything. but in a couple of months time you have a real chance of breaking up the Union, will you take it? I doubt it very much, but please prove me wrong and we'll both be very happy nations both sided of the border..Vote SNP, spread the word, I'll be voting EDP..
@mhffc Let me correct you on two points: firstly, James VI (as he should be referred to, not James I) united the crowns. Im not remotely interested in the monarchy as it does not reflect the views of the population. The treaty of the union was not for another 100 years. You were only a century off but I'm finding it difficult to take seriously the views of a man with such a limited grasp of the history of the British Isles.
If you take issue with the term James I you really should look a the BBC Scottish production of the history of Scotland , where they use it,he was James I of England and James VI of Scotland, as I'm English I use the former. Pretty condescending to criticise my grasp of British history when most of your countrymen seem to gain theirs from Mel Gibson, and I also couldn't care less about the Monarchy, it's just you Scots drone on about events from centuries ago, newsflash this is the 21st century
@mhffc Is the is same English Broadcasting Corporation production which was presented in such an inaccurate and anglocentric way it saw the several academic advisors from Scottish universities resign in protest? The same production which was presented by an archaeologist, not a historian? The same production which inaccurately describes Scotland as a divided country when in actual fact most European countries (including England) were divided to the same degree if not more so. (cont.)
Strange you call it the EBC, many this side of the border see the BBC as a very anti-English establishment, but there you go we share different views, but as you don't seem like the normal Braveheart spouting Scots that clog up YT maybe you could give your reasons on why the Scots have chosen to elect MSPs who are now blocking the SNPs desire for a referendum on Independence, also when I have seen Alex Salmond interviewed on English TV he seems to distance himself from any English Nationalism.
I doubt he has much interest in it. I don't mean that disrespectfully but he has enough on his plate. He has said that if voted for, an independent England would be a success. As for the voting north of the border, change takes time. We've had 300 years of being fed media with a unionist agenda. Many of us have grown up with the EBC, the 'national' papers with a Labour or Tory slant. Financially we have been screwed by the union but most importantly... (cont.)
When I saw him interviewed on a TV prog in England he was asked why he didn't create stronger ties between nationalist parties such as the EDP (the most nationalist party we have) he seemed very evasive almost as though he didn't want to promote English nationalism even though it would benefit Scotland with a party both sides of the border promoting Independence.
(and key to understanding why SNP will find it difficult) we have been culturally raped. The evidence is out there but as in all countries there is a proportion who are too naïve to look beyond the biased information they are spoon fed on a daily basis. It's slightly tongue in cheek but if you take a look at this video you might see a few of the arguments on this page being foreshadowed...
As for being culturally raped, the Scots identity in every aspect is light years ahead of the English, Ive never met a Scot who says theyre British first, you have your own flag, national anthem, Parliament you name it, how many years did stupid England fans fly the Union flag as the England flag, decades, and half of them couldnt even get it the right way up, the Scots are way more knowledgeable about their country and traditions so thats why I cant understand why they vote for Unionist parties
Sounds like we're coming from the same point of view. Putting the banter and slagging aside I honesty reckon both countries will thrive and maintain a much better relationship. We're very similar people, we're just not the same. North and South of the border there is such a large degree of apathy. None of us feel or have ever felt particularly British. Scotland has its problems - a bloated public sector and a lot of of 'hangers on'.
It certainly does, but the only way it will happen is if the Scots do it, we a far too diluted as a race down here for it ever to be an issue, but I just hope in a couple of months time Scots don't just settle for the norm and vote Labour, that wont do either of us any favours, and we have so many social problems in England we need a government who will concentrate on them not trying to fix the world first, the Scots put the welfare of their elderly firtst, we just treat ours like rubbish.
The problem is compounded by the 'brain drain' but I can't blame clued up Scots for leaving Scotland while it is in the state it is in under British rule. I'm 22 years old, just graduated and I'm considering getting the fuck out of Britain. If we get the opportunity to govern ourself again and we don't take it I'll be so ashamed of us. Sad thing is I think people will be too ignorant and brainwashed to make the logical choice (both sides of the border).
The same production which, in Scotland, is widely regarded as a total farce. If you talk about James I then there is a large degree of ambiguity. Which one do you mean? In a Scottish context, which considering were commenting on a video about Scottish independence you obviously should be using, he is James VI.
Secondly, it showcases an arrogance that is rife in English culture that whenever an individual expresses nationalist views it is incorrectly perceived as being anti-English. Believe me, youre really not that important - I have nothing against English people, I have everything against an anglocentric Union which has seen Scotland deliberately economically and culturally downtrodden.
And as for arrogance you beat us hands down, you're under some misguided delusion that we care in the slightest if you become independent, trust me the majority of English don't, but the solution is in your own hands, it's not the English who wont let you have a referendum but your very own MSPs, voted for by the Scots not the English, maybe you should spend more time berating Scots Unionists than the English who support the break up of the Union.
As for your daft remark about Mel Gibson, I don't really feel it is even worthy of a response. That film rivals the BBC for inaccuracies. I'm glad you support English independence. Contrary to what some commentators have concluded, I think England should be able to govern itself and make a success of it.
what the fuck are you talking about? who exactly got to vote on this? i didnt, am a scottish nationalists, its all fucking lies, you make up facts out of the blue, your worse than the sun newspaper for putting down scottish independence ya cunt
FUCK THE UNION, we were born to be free, Wallace screamed freedom and died for us, de Bruce reclaimed our independence n sustained it, then some arsehole king in the 17th century thru it away, the jacobites n bonnie prince charlie tried to regain it, our day will come, once we get independence get the queen n royal family out, n let us vote for our own head of state, a president
Good luck Scotland hope you get your Independence. I wonder will you elect a President for Scotland? and have a written constitution like the Irish have
Independence is normality. Most countries are independent and prefer it that way. Scotland and England would enjoy better relations if we were equal in the UN and EU rather than being stuck together in a 'union' where one part of the united state is ten times the size of the other.
@denholm10 ''DO YOU SPEAK DICK?'' The Monarchy is of mixed origin because marrying a Queen, Lord, Lady, King other head figure...etc helpped improve democracy between countries and prevented wars...etc So in the end it is to help protect the people of the UK, in the future and the present. However it didnt stop WW1 from happening.
@david21085 im naw a dick ! haha.. thats a really good point ! ive never thought about it that way before.. so you have changed my views sort of about the royal family.. cheerz :) but im being honest..i still dont like them. they do bugger all for me !
I support nationalism all the way. We can do it. I vote SSP so I am doing my part to try and get independence. I love seeing nationalist minded parties doing well. I never wave the lion rampant as it is a symbol of the queen who is the figure head of all things unionist.

Oh god here we go, what a mouthful of utter gaelic!!!; mate you really are blinded by your own romantic notion of yourself.....look I'm not going to give you history lesson, night classes will suffice for the likes of you, England was a powerful nation before you asked to join the union; scotland was poverty stricked with no worldly empire whatsoever. England is a nation of over fifty million and growing, scotland is less than five and diminishing. You work it out....what about you banks??
The Scottish people didn't ask to join the union numpty. Maybe some night classes would tell you that there was widespread protest against the union. Also 'OUR' banks are no longer Scottish banks. Their downfall is because Gordon Brown
Choose to ignore the frustration of abusive sassenachs and just remember who are the real odd ones out in Celtic Britain. for those who say spongers - i say learn the real facts about how Scotland has been robbed by the 'crusher of the Scots'

if scotland leave the union then leave with what you came in with - axes and your tartan dresses. but no doubt our soft government will donate a tank or two, we might even let you keep your uniforms. have a nice wee day.
Britishlast wrote: "British means not kow-towing to dictators." No, being British currently means bending over and taking it hard and fast from Common Purpose trained loonies in every branch of administration. Hope we get shot of that lot when we secede from your rotten union. Bye-bye UK, can't say it's been fun.
so whats up, when will the scottish people will front the english and break up the union, but i know it wont be on democracy, cause those english bastards aint still given an ireland fully free.
Scotland has devolution which is not independence. As long as Britain has control of foreign affairs, defence and the economy Scotland will find that any decisions taken in these areas will be against our interests. Independence is normality.
Scotland should always be a part of the UK. Any notion of independence at this point is absurd. United they benefit a lot more and have world prestige. Scotland already has self-rule. FYI, nobody likes their own government and taxes even here in the US.
Oh yes because world prestige really gets the average man happiness and prosperity!! Ireland, Norway, Luxembourg? Far wealthier than America and the UK per head of capita, which is what actually matters. So much for that 'world prestige' you were referring to.
if as the polls show the english want to give scotland independence then give it !! hey but then yall couldnt keep stealin scottish oil and sell it under British (English) Petroleum. If i was scottish i would start the revolution just like the irish did 90 years ago, its time for Scotland to be recognized as a country apart from England, independent . FREE SCOTLAND !!
@juanOG213 Would you please not interfere like the English motives! You are spoiling their plans by exposing their true motives and that's not very nice: from an English point of view!!??
The polls don't show that Scotland wants independence...That is FACT!
The polls show that the majority of people want more power in politics..Which will come and I fully support...But breaking the union would be a disaster for everyone in the British isles
Serious people who want Scottish independence declare that it would be better for all parties and that obviously relations between England and Scotland would be very amicable. Juveniles (like those on this thread) who are not really serious seem to imagine that after English independence relationships between Scotland and England would be extremely bad. Try to grow up, obviously the two countries will still be very close in trade and culture.
I'm all for good relations between the two countries. The irony of this video is that at the begining it shows Scottish Born Tony Blair ( now succeded by another Scot) and the Queen, whose mother was Scottish born, tryying to imply Scotland is ruled by England! Scotland is part of The U.K. Unfortunately Scotland and the rest of The U.K. are ruled from Brussels.
The only scum here are you!Personally i hope you keep making comments like these ,as you are a typical template, of the Union you claim to represent! Alba gu brath
The oil isn't actually 'British', it's Scottish, under both UK and Scottish law. Sorry that you didn't know that :- /
One of the things that makes 'Great' Britain 'great' is democracy, so yes I would imagine you would allow that. Your hardly going to be able to stop us haha, with the rest of Europe watching!
If England doesn't want to be part of this so called union.We shall not stand in your way.Go on get out.... or even better let Scotland go it's own way.The sooner the better!See how that glorious country of yours gets on without our oil and all the rest it takes from here! Alba gu brath
Well hooray at last you begin to understand! I hope you do well without the revenue from Scotlands oil apart from everything else you bleed from others!Please have a referendum!Then we the Scots at last shall be rid of the all consuming so called U.K! Saor Alba agus Alba gu brath
You hit the nail on the head. We are not very united. The people of Scotland and the people of England for the most part see themselves as different. Of those who don't many are uninterested anyway. Forget blind animosity, although we know it exists north and south of the border. The point is we see ourselves as different nations and should be governed as different nations. Devolution was nothing more than throwing the dog a bone and foolishly hoping it would keep everyone happy.
Historically inaccurate, economically unsound, based on nothing other than some ignoramus' feelings after watching Braveheart.... Funny how the Scots themselves suddenly backtracked when it came to economic independence. As for Wales being poor... is that the fault of the English people (who are all rich of course!!!)... Grow up.
Return to the principals of freedom, responsibility and lead the world out of the hell socialism will bring, because the biggest helping hands in the worlds are being shackled, as are generations yet unborn. If we don't reverse teh trend soon, only massive default and war will result at some point. it can yet be solved peacefully, democratically, by people thinking, speaking, debating, then voting, not blindly following the best speaker or best funded campaign. Use the head and the heart.
Scotland Wants Independence, and the best news for our case is ENGLAND are now calling for Independence. Now English Citizens are wanting to break up the union maybe we will get what Scotland deserves, to call Scotland our own once again!
Ah that old chessnut, break up Scotland, any chance to stop us getting the oil Britain steals from us. It won't work. Orkney and Shetland are proud parts of Scotland.

As a welshman i cannot belive Scotland wants Independance. why?
your are a Nation equal to England, with a parliment and your flag in the union flag, unlike Wales a principality of England, where we are represented in the three lions. sort it out scotland stop complaining. independance wont change anything. long live the union
youre a fucking fool. Wales is a country but is so poor that it needs england, and has been used by england since 1300.
That queen english bitch needs to step out of scotland, scots have to see they are different from the english, they are a country and there wealth which is the north sea oil is being exploited by british petroleum that really stands for english petroleum, why dont yall found a Scotland petroleum ? hope for all scots, wish to scotland independent.
juanog213: actually no wales is not so poor. you seem to forget that WELSH coal fuelled the Britsh empire for over 100 years. Cardiff used to be the the most well off city in the world. you are different from England because ur not English, most welsh people live within 50 miles of England and are more Welsh because of it. live with the fact without BRITAIN scotland could not survive.
The fact Wales has been treated more badly than Scotland indicates that Wales needs independence as well. The Celtic nations have all been treated poorly in the past by Britgov and we can all do a lot better.
yes, wales is extremely poor and always been used by the english since 1300, and they cant even move out the english of there land they dont even have resources,, but scotland as i see it growing economically, so now u have the chance to break the union, that even do its called british really stands for " english over scottish", scotland always will seem a country and something different from england, but now is your chance, to become fully recognized, supports from spain
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is irrelevant. British means the following. It means not bowing down to dictators such as Hitler, Napoleon, Alex Salmond or anyone else. Common sense etc. By the way the Tudors were Welsh and the Stuarts were Scottish and the present British govt is largely Scottish. The "issue" of Scottish independence is bogus, because none of us are independent if we are in The E.U. The SNP are distracting people from the REAL problem.
You are a fool but not a very original one! Scotland's MP's are outvoted by a factor of 10-1. Whether the Tudors were originally Welsh orthe Stewarts Scots is irrelevant, the facts are that eventually they put the interests of England before their own country. Your hatred of Salmond is obvious but it is because he is a man who puts Scotland FIRST.
Besides... what sort of Nationalists are you? seriously, that Lloyd Quinan isn't a Scottish Nationalists, just hearing him sounds like he has a lot of hate towards Nationalist Scots. Especially when he dares to make the Royal Scots, which my grandfather served in, as nonsense! I'm sorry... but a bit of advice for proScots
Scots Come First, everyone else Second! In these modern times that is RACIST!
It's not racist to not want to be British! It is however imperialist to force an identity onto a country whether they want it or not. The Brit media controls the press but the people can choose to vote for independence and they will when they get a vote on it.
As a Scot, I ill proudly defend the Union, just as all our forefathers had. Unfortunately we have quite a lot of people that seem to forget the sacrifices that our forefathers had made. I wish the best of luck to the SNP, but I will be standing against them.
I just think a lot of people supporting the SNP should ask themselves what will they do If Scotland does become Independent? I'd also say to you all, prepare yourselfs with pitchforks as we'll be sold off to the EU afterwards.
Many Scots people have campaigned against the union for centuries even when it was illegal to do so and the punishment was transportation to the 'colonies'. The EU is a voluntary body and it would be our choice after independence to decide our level of involvement.
and ther forefathers who fought against the english??? scotland as well as england needs to be free to grow. it was made to be an equal nation... any1 who believes this is a fool and is brainwashed. scotland will be free!!!
Scotland will become a member of the European Union once we've got rid of the British once an for all, hip,hip,hooray lets put the British into history once an for all.
Scotland wont remain Independent for long, as not once has the SNP promised to keep us out of it.
The British, have been the most powerful and influential people on this earth. Our forefathers have given us a great Nation, and we all should be grateful. Beyond our borders there are many people's that could only dream to have what we've got...
Vote a new Government in westminster, Vote for Change, and bring back EQUAL rights for all British citizens.
I don't know about you, but had your family served this Union for 300 years? What about both World Wars? I'm sorry. I'm totally against us surrendering ourselves to European Union. The UK can trade with Europe without having to surrender its resources to a SuperState run by unelected ministers officials. What has the EU done for the UK sofar? apart from demand control of our Oil & Gas and fishing zones?
We have our own people to protect, or should the people of Britain come last?
The EU is a voluntary union, which the UK (and Scotland if we become independent) could leave at any time. Personally I would prefer to share some sovereignty in the EU with many other countries of many different sizes rather than the unequal union we are in at the moment which benefits only carpet baggers.
Say No to independence. Say no to new frontiers and the returning to the middle age. Say yes to coexistance and understanding. Say No to the administrative division of the britannia.
Mind your own business about Scotland you don't know the history or anything else for that matter, independence would not return us to the Middle Ages you're really stupid. The quicker the Basque region gets independence too will be a great day.
william wallace is now a subject of the English queen! where the f*ck is scotland? is that a nation? i thought it was part of what we call England, where English is spoken and not that shitty scottish dialect that you call language, you're subjects of the english queen! scottish slaves!

The Battle of Alesia or Siege of Alesia took place in September, 52 BC around the Gallic oppidum of Alesia, a major town centre and hill fort of the Mandubii tribe. It was fought by an army of the Roman Republic commanded by Julius Caesar, aided by cavalry commanders Mark Antony, Titus Labienus and Gaius Trebonius, against a confederation of Gallic tribes united under the leadership of Vercingetorix of the Averni.
Cybopath 4 months ago
@NOVATICANWARS It was the last major engagement between Gauls and Romans, marking the turning point of the Gallic Wars in favour of Rome. The Siege of Alesia is considered one of Caesar's greatest military achievements and a classic example of siege warfare and investment. The battle of Alesia can safely be described as marking the end of Celtic dominance in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Northern Italy.

@mhffc Yes, are you basing the opinions of an entire nation on the views of one individual? I think the fact that during the signing of the treaty they had to impose martial law (to quell the rioting in all of Scotland's major towns and cities) suggests a fair percentage of the population was of a slightly different opinion to James VI. It is also well documented that bribery was involved and that it was `contrary to the inclinations of at least three-fourths of the Kingdom'.

@cmcdonaldalba It still stands that a Scots King created the Union, as it was a Norman King who first went into Ireland, but the Celts would just rather blame the English for everything. but in a couple of months time you have a real chance of breaking up the Union, will you take it? I doubt it very much, but please prove me wrong and we'll both be very happy nations both sided of the border..Vote SNP, spread the word, I'll be voting EDP..

@mhffc Let me correct you on two points: firstly, James VI (as he should be referred to, not James I) united the crowns. Im not remotely interested in the monarchy as it does not reflect the views of the population. The treaty of the union was not for another 100 years. You were only a century off but I'm finding it difficult to take seriously the views of a man with such a limited grasp of the history of the British Isles.

If you take issue with the term James I you really should look a the BBC Scottish production of the history of Scotland , where they use it,he was James I of England and James VI of Scotland, as I'm English I use the former.

Strange you call it the EBC, many this side of the border see the BBC as a very anti-English establishment, but there you go we share different views, but as you don't seem like the normal Braveheart spouting Scots that clog up YT maybe you could give your reasons on why the Scots have chosen to elect MSPs who are now blocking the SNPs desire for a referendum on Independence, also when I have seen Alex Salmond interviewed on English TV he seems to distance himself from any English Nationalism.

I doubt he has much interest in it. I don't mean that disrespectfully but he has enough on his plate. He has said that if voted for, an independent England would be a success. As for the voting north of the border, change takes time. We've had 300 years of being fed media with a unionist agenda. Many of us have grown up with the EBC, the 'national' papers with a Labour or Tory slant. Financially we have been screwed by the union but most importantly... (cont.)

When I saw him interviewed on a TV prog in England he was asked why he didn't create stronger ties between nationalist parties such as the EDP (the most nationalist party we have) he seemed very evasive almost as though he didn't want to promote English nationalism even though it would benefit Scotland with a party both sides of the border promoting Independence.

As for being culturally raped, the Scots identity in every aspect is light years ahead of the English, Ive never met a Scot who says theyre British first, you have your own flag, national anthem, Parliament you name it, how many years did stupid England fans fly the Union flag as the England flag, decades, and half of them couldnt even get it the right way up, the Scots are way more knowledgeable about their country and traditions so thats why I cant understand why they vote for Unionist parties

Scotland has its problems - a bloated public sector and a lot of of 'hangers on'.

It certainly does, but the only way it will happen is if the Scots do it, we a far too diluted as a race down here for it ever to be an issue, but I just hope in a couple of months time Scots don't just settle for the norm and vote Labour, that wont do either of us any favours, and we have so many social problems in England we need a government who will concentrate on them not trying to fix the world first, the Scots put the welfare of their elderly firtst, we just treat ours like rubbish.

Sad thing is I think people will be too ignorant and brainwashed to make the logical choice (both sides of the border).

The same production which, in Scotland, is widely regarded as a total farce. If you talk about James I then there is a large degree of ambiguity. Which one do you mean? In a Scottish context, which considering were commenting on a video about Scottish independence you obviously should be using, he is James VI.

Secondly, it showcases an arrogance that is rife in English culture that whenever an individual expresses nationalist views it is incorrectly perceived as being anti-English.

And as for arrogance you beat us hands down, you're under some misguided delusion that we care in the slightest if you become independent, trust me the majority of English don't, but the solution is in your own hands, it's not the English who wont let you have a referendum but your very own MSPs, voted for by the Scots not the English, maybe you should spend more time berating Scots Unionists than the English who support the break up of the Union.

Serious people who want Scottish independence declare that it would be better for all parties and that obviously relations between England and Scotland would be very amicable. Juveniles (like those on this thread) who are not really serious seem to imagine that after English independence relationships between Scotland and England would be extremely bad. Try to grow up, obviously the two countries will still be very close in trade and culture.

I'm all for good relations between the two countries. The irony of this video is that at the begining it shows Scottish Born Tony Blair ( now succeded by another Scot) and the Queen, whose mother was Scottish born, tryying to imply Scotland is ruled by England! Scotland is part of The U.K. Unfortunately Scotland and the rest of The U.K. are ruled from Brussels.

Tony Blair considers himself to be English and by his actions he proved he was.

The seperatist scum in the SNP are just a front to try to steal British oil.
Do you honestly think we'll let you break up GREAT Britain?! Give up before someone gets hurt.

As you well know it's Scotland's Oil, or at least it should be, and it will be when we vote for independence.
freescotlandnow 2 years ago
The oil isn't actually 'British', it's Scottish, under both UK and Scottish law. Sorry that you didn't know that :- /
One of the things that makes 'Great' Britain 'great' is democracy, so yes I would imagine you would allow that. Your hardly going to be able to stop us haha, with the rest of Europe watching!

Independence for England,
Do you really think the English want to be part of this so called Union?
Because the UK is a Union not a Country, but we are not very United, eh?

If England doesn't want to be part of this so called union.We shall not stand in your way.Go on get out.... or even better let Scotland go it's own way.The sooner the better!See how that glorious country of yours gets on without our oil and all the rest it takes from here! Alba gu brath

You hit the nail on the head. We are not very united. The people of Scotland and the people of England for the most part see themselves as different. Of those who don't many are uninterested anyway. Forget blind animosity, although we know it exists north and south of the border. The point is we see ourselves as different nations and should be governed as different nations. Devolution was nothing more than throwing the dog a bone and foolishly hoping it would keep everyone happy.

scotland is very different from england,
they are diferent countries,
the scots are nicer, friendlier than the english,
scots are easy going people,
english are arrogant,
scotland has a distinct culture that the english have always envied but never been welcome to join into, tuff titty.
different people completely!!
INDEPENDENCE NOW 2010!!

Historically inaccurate, economically unsound, based on nothing other than some ignoramus' feelings after watching Braveheart.... Funny how the Scots themselves suddenly backtracked when it came to economic independence. As for Wales being poor... is that the fault of the English people (who are all rich of course!!!)... Grow up.

Return to the principals of freedom, responsibility and lead the world out of the hell socialism will bring, because the biggest helping hands in the worlds are being shackled, as are generations yet unborn. If we don't reverse teh trend soon, only massive default and war will result at some point. it can yet be solved peacefully, democratically, by people thinking, speaking, debating, then voting, not blindly following the best speaker or best funded campaign. Use the head and the heart.

That queen english bitch needs to step out of scotland, scots have to see they are different from the english, they are a country and there wealth which is the north sea oil is being exploited by british petroleum that really stands for english petroleum, why dont yall found a Scotland petroleum ? hope for all scots, wish to scotland independent.

juanog213: actually no wales is not so poor. you seem to forget that WELSH coal fuelled the Britsh empire for over 100 years. Cardiff used to be the the most well off city in the world. you are different from England because ur not English, most welsh people live within 50 miles of England and are more Welsh because of it. live with the fact without BRITAIN scotland could not survive.

The fact Wales has been treated more badly than Scotland indicates that Wales needs independence as well. The Celtic nations have all been treated poorly in the past by Britgov and we can all do a lot better.

yes, wales is extremely poor and always been used by the english since 1300, and they cant even move out the english of there land they dont even have resources,, but scotland as i see it growing economically, so now u have the chance to break the union, that even do its called british really stands for " english over scottish", scotland always will seem a country and something different from england, but now is your chance, to become fully recognized, supports from spain

This is irrelevant. British means the following. It means not bowing down to dictators such as Hitler, Napoleon, Alex Salmond or anyone else. Common sense etc. By the way the Tudors were Welsh and the Stuarts were Scottish and the present British govt is largely Scottish. The "issue" of Scottish independence is bogus, because none of us are independent if we are in The E.U. The SNP are distracting people from the REAL problem.
britishfirstandlast 2 years ago
You are a fool but not a very original one! Scotland's MP's are outvoted by a factor of 10-1. Whether the Tudors were originally Welsh orthe Stewarts Scots is irrelevant, the facts are that eventually they put the interests of England before their own country. Your hatred of Salmond is obvious but it is because he is a man who puts Scotland FIRST.

For Scotland's M.P.s to be outvoted, Labour have to be outvoted as they are usually Labour M.P.s You are just plain wrong.

scotland looks in on england with a little bit of envy!! but this is only because of the media.
there is something sinister going on.
england would love to delete scotland from the map and completely control the british isles.

Besides... what sort of Nationalists are you? seriously, that Lloyd Quinan isn't a Scottish Nationalists, just hearing him sounds like he has a lot of hate towards Nationalist Scots. Especially when he dares to make the Royal Scots, which my grandfather served in, as nonsense! I'm sorry... but a bit of advice for proScots
Scots Come First, everyone else Second! In these modern times that is RACIST!

It's not racist to not want to be British! It is however imperialist to force an identity onto a country whether they want it or not. The Brit media controls the press but the people can choose to vote for independence and they will when they get a vote on it.

As a Scot, I ill proudly defend the Union, just as all our forefathers had. Unfortunately we have quite a lot of people that seem to forget the sacrifices that our forefathers had made. I wish the best of luck to the SNP, but I will be standing against them.
I just think a lot of people supporting the SNP should ask themselves what will they do If Scotland does become Independent? I'd also say to you all, prepare yourselfs with pitchforks as we'll be sold off to the EU afterwards.
Staranc 3 years ago
Many Scots people have campaigned against the union for centuries even when it was illegal to do so and the punishment was transportation to the 'colonies'. The EU is a voluntary body and it would be our choice after independence to decide our level of involvement.

I don't know about you, but had your family served this Union for 300 years? What about both World Wars? I'm sorry. I'm totally against us surrendering ourselves to European Union. The UK can trade with Europe without having to surrender its resources to a SuperState run by unelected ministers officials. What has the EU done for the UK sofar? apart from demand control of our Oil & Gas and fishing zones?
We have our own people to protect, or should the people of Britain come last?

The EU is a voluntary union, which the UK (and Scotland if we become independent) could leave at any time. Personally I would prefer to share some sovereignty in the EU with many other countries of many different sizes rather than the unequal union we are in at the moment which benefits only carpet baggers.
