  • @1995Scotsman Ohh just forget it, it's obviously beyond you.

  • cheers:)for my hungarian ears its still:" where did yo come from where did yo go cotton eye joe" :)but lov,luv this music slangevar..

  • Corries on youtubes home page, amazing! Serch for Braes o Killiekrankie, best song ;)

  • @1995Scotsman - You ovbiously haven't understood my comment.

  • @ljotulf

    I understood it pretty clear..

    England is the place for you!

  • Hanoverian Monarchy=Good, Jacobite Monarchy=Bad, Rangers Football team=Good, Celtic Football team=Bad, Protestant/Presbyterian Christianity=Good, Catholic Christianity=Bad, N Ireland=Good, Rep Ireland=Bad, Britain, which is overrun with immigrants already=Good,EU with immigrants =Bad - that just about cover it theneil100? You say you don't want to be a puppet, well you're already a muppet. I'm in favour of your dying breath - you're taking up precious air as is!

  • @ljotulf

    There's a much larger nation to the south waiting for you.. go!

  • Once you let the tims comment on Scottish songs ,thread fucked!

  • It always makes me chuckle that people assume this must be a pro-jacobite sng, Its not, its a very anti-jacobite song "Ye Jacobites by name your faults Iwill proclaim". Listen to the

    damn words.

  • @ColdMattyCross Rabbie Burns wrote this poem. He was jacobite. The 'Your fautes I will proclaim/Your doctrines I maun blame' are reference to the failures of the rebellion (Culloden) and not condemnation of the jacobites. It may not be a song that praises the jacobites but it definitely isn't an anti-jacobite song.

  • @campbo The original song was vehemently anti-Jacobite. Burns watered it down. Your doctrines I maun blame is pretty clear though. He in blaming their principles not the fact that they failed. Saying that it is only a song. He wrote in character. Sometimes entertainment is just entertainment.

  • Classic Corries once again. Linda, when will you be canonised?!? I;m about to search the thatch for my claymore!

  • @Horsemarine100 look again it aint Lind!

  • @Horsemarine100 Sorry, my mistake! The sentiment remains, though!

  • I want Britain out of the EU,if you think that our forefathers sold scotland out to England,it,s nothing on what allah salmond has in store for scotland in the eu,they,ll line their pockets,and bankrupt the country,at the same time alienate us from our english ,welsh and n irish brethren,and ally us with the likes of greece,germany,southern ireland,etc,a puppet country,flooded with immigrants,with no control over our destiny,i will fight to my dying breath against that,all those in favour of in

  • @theneil100 Thank you! Finally someone who agrees with me! People talk of independence from the rest of the UK; we need independence from the EU! People voting SNP have no idea what a deep pile of shit they're getting us into.

  • @Steely1888 so I can fuck off to England is that right pal,get yer pal allah Salmond to give us a refferendum,then we,ll let you get a wee peice of land somewhere up the highlands where you can fuck off to.

  • @theneil100 What you are feeling towards Brussels - The Scots have felt for 300 years - working hard, and having our natural resources taken by the Bloody London Government to prop up the UK! Well FUCK THAT! we have had enough!

  • he was anti-Jacobite. He often wrote in character or purely for entertainment. Just as other Lowlanders did who wrote many of the Jacobite classics. For instance Sir Walter Scott wrote Bonnie Dundee and James Hogg wrote Donald MacGillevry etc. Likewise there is no conflict between singing all these songs as I do most weekends. Songs are usually just songs! As you suggest there is no need for folk on the net to get so het up!

  • Seems to me that the views that really count are the views of the Irish people in the here and now! They had an official referendum on the subject and an overwhelming majority in the Republic, plus a significant majority in the north, voted 'yes' to the principle that the North should remain part of the UK as long as the majority there wish it to be so, and that they can leave the UK when they want. The UK govt accepts this too! What's to argue about?

  • "@Steely1888 Since 2 cent. BC geographers huv seen Ulster as seperate from Ireland, the Romans called Ireland Hibernia and Ulster Ulidia because they saw that the people in Hibernia and Ulidia where different culturally and thats still the case the day, "

    Steely are you on Crack?

  • @Gingerly43 - your an idiot, read my comments i never brought religion into it, you are seriously sad if cause the romans referred to ulster as a seperate state then thats how it should be? your an idiot and clearly a fanatical supporter of the ulster loyalist sectarian shite. fuck off and dont reply i dont give 2 fucks about your views

  • "the stuarts are better monarchs" and "the hanovarians are better monarchs", whit as dose ae pish, aw monarchy is shite! whae the fuck in there right mind wid let some cunt proclaim themsel' "king" and by extention better than every cunt else? that hael thing gos against whit is scottish, scotland hus aye stood fur that everycunt nae matter yer creed or colour is equal. The queens shite still stinks like the rest ae oors, so lets get rid and live in a independant scotland free ae imperial rule!

  • The fact remains that if you pair off Hanoverians vs Stuarts in a mud wrestling match, the Hanoverians win. The Stuarts were small and slight, with really long hair. The Hanoverians had shorter hair, were much fatter and rounder. Quite frankly, the Stuarts don't stand a chance.

  • he'd make Scotland Presbyterian then once he had a power base in England he ruthlessly, along with his brother James VII, oppressed Presbyterian Scots launching the Killing Times on southern Scotland - whilst James also was king during the Bloody Assizes in England. James was also completely incompetent politically once on the throne

  • UR aue full a shit the corries ar aue about SCOTLAND an FREEDOM FA the english

  • There's nothing like coming upon a wonderful historical song and seeing it offer a home for bigotry. I'm English and I'm ashamed of much of what was done by the English in the past; similarly, it's not all innocence and romantic ideals amongst those the English 'suppressed'. One thing is most definitely in common - all these issues are those of the past and are only brought to the surface by those who are unhappy with peace. Live and let live and let religious and nationalist bigotry die.

  • If you go away way back you will find that the population of the uk are the children  of the twelve tribes of Israel give or take the foreign entrys now and again,bet alot of people didnt realise that,stand by for fireworks!!!

  • "Ulster" aka the 6 counties - when actuality it contains 9 counties the other 3 being Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan. It's not even "Northern" Ireland as the most northerly point of that Isle is Malin Head in Donegal. Stop boring us with your pathetic revisionist bullshit. O'Neill and O'Donnell fought bravely piss of your landgrabbers you make the Isrealis look reasonable

  • @Grifflaw - so did O'Doherty, thats my irish side and they done a famous rebellion :)

  • the jacobite rebellions were not about scotland and england fighting each other they were more complex than that indeed the majority of scots did not support the prince particularly in the lowlands,who saw the movement as backwards we entering the period of momentous cultural,social and industrial change and an absolutist monarchy was becoming an irrelevance in the new commercial scotland. many if not the majority of his highland supporters did not want to cross the border into england .

  • @forsythbill1 "many if not the majority of his highland supporters did not want to cross the border into england " None of the Scottish commanders (whether Lowlander or Highlander) wanted to invade England and they only did so in the end because a deluded Charles convinced them that the English populace would rise in support.

  • @gaconnochie, Very true. The Jacobites were deceived by the Jesuits, they were lied to about support south of the border.

  • @Islandretreat What the Jesuits have no part of it. James II strived for a kingdom with the peace to allow religions to develop ad they would. Its about how they treated the Kingdoms, and as monarch as James II why would you want the country run by those who wanted money out of pointeless wars and not those who wanted to trade.........

  • @ogreoh okay that came off too drunk, but still the Stuarts were better monarchs than the hannoverians....

  • @ogreoh "Stuarts were better monarchs" Surely debatebale at the least. Pox on both houses I'd say. James VI&I oppressed both Scots and English Borderers; started the Plantation of Ulster and attempted the same thing in parts of the Highlands forcing chiefs to send their boys to be schooled in the Lowlands etc. Charles I was a disaster who made several unsuccesful invasions of Scotland and eventually caused the civil wars that devasted all three of his kingdoms. Charles II promised the Scots

  • @gaconnochie Oh agree mate, but 20/20 at the time isn't there. As a 17th century British history student I just loathe the way Britain turned out in the 18th century. That by modern standards of freedom that the absolute Monarchs of Catherine and Frederick executed less folks than 'progressive' Britain over the century gives me pause.

  • @ogreoh I kind of agree with you there. As I said pox on both their houses. Just because someone points out 17thC Stuart flaws it doesn't mean they don't recognise 18thC Hanovarian flaws.

  • @gaconnochie  I suppose so sir, but I'll take an optimistic hope for a more benevolent and equal Jacobite British Isles could have been over the Hannoverian reality, especially with the two centuries of Whiggish history that lauded the state created in the wake of 1689 despite that it marginalized a a great number of the crowns citizens well until the great reforms of the 1830s and beyond....as misplaced as such hope may be

  • @ogreoh, Striving for religious peace? That's the opposite of the truth. Firstly the Jesuits are a Miitary Order, and King James II was a member of the Order, trained in Rome, the only Jesuit to ever sit on the throne. That fact has been well covered up. It's well known that he was surrounded by Jesuit "confessors" but the truth is he was a Jesuit himself. Webster's 1828 Dictionary defines a Jesuit as a deceiver. King James II was certainly that, to say the least.

  • @ogreoh "James II strived for a kingdom with the peace to allow religions to develop" Actually James oppressed the Presbyterians in Scotland whilst his brother was on the throne and continued to do so whilst in office. He was eventually persuaded to moderate slightly but the idea that he wanted complete toleration for everyone is bunkum!

  • @mrdfitz1 - please tell me when "ulster" came into existance as a state? exactly, its not a country, majority of ireland voted yes to independence, a resounding 75% that should of been the end of the matter. So when scotland votes independence if one area is pro union do u think they should be partitioned off? am not even gonna reply to you cause i have already established you are an idiot. my comment gets thumbs up as people agree with me unlike you

  • @Steely1888 Since 2 cent. BC geographers huv seen Ulster as seperate from Ireland, the Romans called Ireland Hibernia and Ulster Ulidia because they saw that the people in Hibernia and Ulidia where different culturally and thats still the case the day, I dispise the idea of the "United Kingdom" and would like tae see Scotland independant but just because ae that I cannae no notice the people ae Ulster are no the same as the Irish, Ulster shouldnae be Irish or British, Ulster should be free anaw.

  • @albagubrath90 - away n dont talk shite. Using your pathetic logic scotland wouldnt be a country then, cause the gaels are different from the picts and there were other scottish tribes. You telling me the "ulstermen" today are direct decendents from the ones the Romans were referring to? Anyway nice try but i can see your account is new and your a daft hun having a laugh

  • @Steely1888 Im no a fuckin hun ya tit, and so what if i am whit the fuck is that goat tae dae wae it, im no saein they're directed discendents either, im saein we huv tae see that they're no the same as the irish and that if they dinnae want tae be part ae ireland the dinnae huv tae be and in future if yae want ae huv a rational discussion dinnae bring religion intae it cause god isnae real and it makes yer argument weak when yae resort tae bigoted comments like callin' somebody a hun.

  • @albagubrath90 - your a fuckin retard. There are parts of ulster that ARE already part of the republic of ireland, and there are 6 counties under british rule and slightly under half of those counties are irish nationalist u fool, so your gonna completely ignore that for support of the people who were sent their to divide so the british could rule it better? your a fanny, develope a brain cell and look up who Carson was, who threatened orange terror after 75% of ireland voted independence

  • @albagubrath90 - i wasnt bringing religion into it you tit, fs how thick are you? im talking about the politics of the place and you think of religion? your the bigot then, and your a militant atheist fuck

  • @Steely1888 Im hardly a militant athiest by sayin god dusnae exist, callin somebody a hun is a bigoted comment because you're only sayin that because yae thought I wus a prodestant, and I ken that three counties of Ulster are aw ready in the republic but as you say not the majority of the remainin counties want tae be in the republic, if the majority did I would more than support them but they dinnae so they souldnae huv tae be.

  • @albagubrath90 - how the fuck is a "hun" sectarian and makes me bigoted? do you even know what a "hun" is, you clearly dont. a "hun" is what rangers fans get called, not members of presbyterian churches u tool, and huns are loyalist, in strong support of "ulster" (which u are). So dont even talk to me, your an idiot, and you havent got a clue, you know fuck all, go read a book u cant even spell "protestant" shows how much u know - tit

  • @albagubrath90 - am blocking you now cause i cannot be arsed with your uneducated views and pathetic replies. Majority of Ireland did want to be independent and voted on it and 75% voted YES therefore by democracy they should of been independent but no. Carson threatened orange terror if ireland were to be newly formed independent which is why your beloved "ulster" exists as a sectarian state. The Irish people were robbed of their freedom and have a right to struggle on

  • @Steely1888 Why bother wasting your breath on uneducated, unpleasant and unrepentantly unionist 'people' that spew out vulgar views on youtube...views that fly in the face of decent people who hold values like fairness, mercy and democracy in low esteem. 'People' who have generation after generation of hatred and twisted ideas bred into them.

  • @Steely1888 The only time I sometimes get through to certain 'people' is when I hypothesise: "Imagine Scotland gained full independence from the so-called 'union' by majority vote via democratic elections, but a majority of people in say Ayrshire start spouting pro union defiance against the democratically free Scotland and threaten horrific sectarian violence if they are not allowed to remain part of the union...." Well my answer to them would be "Fuck off to England...Scotland is now free"

  • ...I am shocked — but not surprised — to say that many people think that it would be acceptable for a region to split from Scotland and remain in the UK. It's the ultimate in double-standards! In our lifetime, majority vote has unfortunately kept Scotland part of the UK — this is acceptable to these unionists, but they suddenly change their minds at the idea of that same vote making Scotland free and feel it would be ok for a region to go against the majority and divide the country!

  • @felipescotland77 - your only getting one reply from me so fuck off after this, yes after independence unionist fucks should go live in the remains of the UK. Your that unionist arent you? Unionists in america exiled after the patriots won so unionists in scotland would be no different. How am i uneducated i fucking educated a few people who came out with unionist attacks, anyway nice to see a die hard unionist listening to a Jacobite song

  • @Steely1888 What are you talking about dude...Im a nationalist who believes in free Scotland! How dare you let your foolish anger boil over and rant at someone (me) who AGREED with your posts and who was lending you support! And how fuken dare you call me a unionist! you need to calm domn and make an attempt to read my posts again without the red mist of anger getting your wires crossed.

  • Oh and once you realise we are on the same side and once you re-read my posts and realise you interpreted them completely the wrong way around...please then be aware of the history of the song here and that, unfortunately, it is NOT a pro Jacobite song. Please go and read some encyclopedias and learn about the anti-jacobite origins of this song and the slightly more moderate tone its lyrics have taken while it was tweaked over the decades.

  • @felipescotland77 "it is NOT a pro Jacobite song." Unfortunately some people just don't actually listen to lyrics of songs. Because it has Jacobite in the title many presume it is a Jacobite song. It is clearly ludicrous that anyone could think it is pro-Jacobite as it clearly blames them and their doctrines for the conflict. Sometimes too folk have real trouble in understanding that many of these songs are purely entertainment. Just because Burns wrote one anti-Jacobite song it doesn't mean

  • @albagubrath90 - anyway nice try taiginator

  • @Steely1888 Ken whit Im fed tryin tae reason wae yea, if the majority ae the remainin counties dinnae want tae be part ae the republic they shouldnae huv tae be thats aw Im sayin.

  • @mrdfitz1 - ulster is not even a country so it is not for "ulstermen" your region came into existance due to crazy unionist royalist loyalists forming a terrorist group. You are not native, your either of scottish borderland descent and you live so far south you dont know if your scottish or english so you people came to the conclusion that ye were "british". Scotland and Ireland are celtic countries, emphasis on the COUNTRIES. "ulster" goes against democracy when 75% voted yes on independence

  • Saxons ftw xD but UP THE SCOTS!

  • @Maverickthebroken1 - Whats saxons got to do with Scots? saxons are from saxony in germany, and they took over england then later the normans took over england. "saxons" connotates englishmen

  • @Maverickthebroken1 saxons is more a culture legacy than a genetical group....20% highest in NE england + east anglia...most "brits" descend from first settlers from basque region moving up after ice retreated

  • I am sorry to inform you all that this song is about non combat - why its wrong to fight.

  • @ashbannor Quite so. The original source song Burns based this on is vehemently anti-Jacobite. Burns tones it down making it more anti-war than anti-Jacobite. Though he still blames them for the conflict in it. "You Jacobites by name....your faults I will proclaim....your doctrines I will blame...you shall hear"

  • I am sorry to inform you all that this song is about non combat - why its wrong to fight.

  • It's beautifull.-man would like to go out and kick anybody in face - super!

    Easy guys. I'm peacefull boy, but this song is very energious and combat. I love to ride listening this and "Caide sin do'n te sin" by Boreash

  • FUCK yer 12th of July...the Jacobites live on!

    

  • Stuff the polotics i'll be 60 this year and and have every type or gig from Pink Floyd to the Royal Philharmonic and have o say the nihjt I saw thr Corries was one of the best gigs i've eer seen Eddie

  • @urphyma456 Well said, Urphyma456. Whenever my Scottish ears hear the passion that is this song, it's not politics that I'm left thinking about, rather it's a renewed feeling of the beauty of life. The Corries did indeed rock, wish I had seen them play live, too - still there's always YouTube. :-)

  • the sensibilities of the minority nations. In Scotland's case they didn't!

  • Scottish Office and legislation differed from what went on in England. Once the Scottish Office had no mandate, and because they didn't recognise that and took no notice of Scottish opinion, then the whole system didn't work. Decentralisation was inevitable. It was only a matter of how far that decentralisation would go! For a union to work when t is made up of three small countries and one large represented by one parliament then the representatives of the large country need to take heed of

  • @TheMightOfTheEnglish in terms of votes yes in theory our votes are equal but in reality they are not. This is because uk politicians care little for the Scottish vote, it is less numerous than the english one and they therefore do not try to represent the Scottish people. This then leads to governments being elected with only English interests at heart causing them to take decisions that are detrimental to the Scottish people I won't insult your intelligence by giving examples, there's to many

  • @danonutube1 Absolutely correct. During the Thatcher years the political scene in Scotland diverged from that in England. Under that Tory administration the Scottish Secretary stopped being Scotland's man in the Cabinet and instead became the Cabinet's man in Scotland. He was there to force Thatcher's policies, backed by the English electorate, on to a Scotland who had given them no mandate. Scotland has always been run differently from England as most of what is now devolved was run by the 

  • @TheMightOfTheEnglish @TheMightOfTheEnglish I agree with your view on Europe I for one would not see Scotland gain it's independence from England only to surrender it to Europe. However this does not in any way destroy my argument as we may get less money from Europe but we would keep our own money. the deficit of Scotland is significantly less than the rest of uk meaning we would be able to support ourselves with insignificant investment borrowing compared with the millions loaned to London

  • Comment removed

  • @gaconnochie neither do I it was a typical I'll informed response intended to demonize anything that opposes Britannia by making it a criminal offence oh well roll on the referendum

  • Comment removed

  • @johnjohnnyist the law is not always right many laws have been created that good men have risked their lives to break a traitor to Scotland is not someone who disagrees with the monarchy, it is someone who refuses to stand up for the people. The people of scotland deserve the same rights as any other country they deserve and eventually they will demand, nation status

  • @danonutube1 I don't know why the other poster brought the law into it. There is nothing unlawful or unconstitutional about the Nats holding an independence referendum - or people debating it. The UK govt has conceded that!

  • @danonutube1 in what way doesnt scotland have the same rights as everyone else ? you are a nation within the united kingdom. my vote isnt worth any more than yours , your free to do anything you want , being part of europe destroys your argument , look at the outside interference has done to this country , its not a level playing field , id be more concerned with staying in europe , than the union if i was you, you may get european money being a small nation, but at what price

  • "Scotland in the UK4Ever"

    I wouldn't be so sure about that, Watch this space.

  • Check out Shannon version, for me the best in the universe ;p

  • For all you folks posting your opinion (which I respect) that Scotland will not become independent I say simply watch this space.

  • @rabnuds I don't think any of us should debate whether scotland will become independent - that's presumably what the referendum would decide

  • @johnjohnnyist What a strange thing to say! there is no presumtion about it, of course that's what a referendum will decide. I was not trying to start a debate I was simply giving an opinion as others were.

  • @johnjohnnyist There will be much debating from now right up until the referendum. It is a strange thing to suggest it shouldn't be debated prior to the vote. How else are people to decide? The problem is that there hasn't been a lot of debating about it up until now. The unionist parties at Holyrood have simply avoided the issue by dismissing it as an irrelevance.Now because the Nats have a majority they (the unionists) are going to have to debate it.

  • Aye, Rabbie Burns, But Walt disnae!-old scotish joke, since the SDP got in we now have a chance of a FREE Land....steve god bless Scotland ( and let wales ane ireland gain their independence too!)

  • @remeclerk I think you've made a wee typo there. The SDP merged with the Liberal Party to become the Liberal Democrats and they got trounced at the election. I take it you mean SNP :-)

  • @gaconnochie LOL your right, but then again ive been away for so long I forget whose who!...Steve

  • @remeclerk surely it's quite difficult to get mixed up between the SDP abd the SNP?

    Soz just found that difficult to believe

  • @johnjohnnyist well when you get to my age.....its just a load of letters!-LOL, anyhow I still advocate a free scotland!!!!! Steve

  • Lol @ all the scottish revolution nutjobs in here who don't realise Scotland would be broke in a week if it seperated. It relies on England for almost everything.

  • don't feed the troll people, just flag all of this ignorant idiot's comments as spam and treat him like the petulant 4 year old that he seems so determined to look like, this argument has gone on for many many months and isn't likely to stop any time soon, don't waste your time playing his childish games

  • @TheXand19 You loyalist counts need to fuck off out of Scotland and Ireland you only want to stay in the uk so can avoid controversy with the English. You would rather fight yer own people than fight for them, you are both a coward and a traitor to scotland fuk off u cunt

  • @danonutube1 Actually in the eyes of the law you're the traitor and without the rule of law what is there?

    Scotland and Ulster uniionists together!

  • @Ewolf98 - well it was mainly scots lowlanders that fought for the patriots, the highlanders were redcoats fighting the patriots, the scots need to get along man, the generation before that it was highlanders fighting red coats and lowland scots lol. we need to unite and get the loyalists and english oot

  • @Steely1888 what do you mean English get out,there aint no English in uk ,its full of blacks Paki,s poles,Russians and about everything else,

    You recognize that?

    And you, as a Marine, are gonna tell me that you would not be evil if you killed a man waving a white flag, just because that's your orders?

    Who gives your orders, your fucking Generals or God?

    Would God want you to kill innocent People, to kill 17 years old boys?

    Where is God in a world in wich Soldiers killing civilians are honoured by Kings and Queens?

  • @akropiss well we are all closer to the original settler who were pre celtic,,,,,but as a welsh geneticist I agree with your sentiments....dont forget the welsh includes the cornish and strathclyde britons/cumbrians.

    Whereever you are from its not important its the CULTURE!! and its been totally pushed back to these islands fringes ignored during the empire days..and still is to an extent

  • @3tangle3 Why do Celtic & Pre-Celtic strains remain so strong despite multi-cultural Roman, Scandinavian/Germanic conquest & settlement? Celts seem to be a multi-ethnic Cultural Union.

    Could different ethnicities be the same peoples overlapping under different cultural guises -- over time?

  • @USAsoldier1955 It is because the actual genetical input from these later invasions is surprisingly very low......but this depends on the area. Some parts of Western Wales and Western Ireland can have 95-98% of population being majority iberian 'pre celtic' settlers (celtic being an evolved european culture) with several later celtic invasions bringing their own genetic tint to the proceedings :D, and this can very between person to person, the actual difference is small however just potent

  • 2 people are clearly not jacobite XD

  • @USAsoldier1955 Warning: don't feed the troll.

  • @USAsoldier1955 you are an embarrassment to Scottish descendants the world over - as well as an equal embarrassment to Americans. I am both - a Scottish descendant living in the USA (my grandfather came here from Scotland). To the Scots posting here: I was raised to love my heritage and to support an independent Scotland - why wouldn't I, an American, have the right to post here. I am also a Republican - meaning that US political affiliation has very little bearing on the subject.

  • @USAsoldier1955 Last time I checked, we don't have a bad name; in fact, that's why Americans wear canadian flag pins when they go to Europe. No one wants to hear your ultra-conservative yankee bullshit.

  • @IIGECKOII Most Europeans eat Canadians....thinking they will be baled-out by the USA! Of course, that's why increasing numbers of Canadians are moving to the USA -- and becoming AMERICAN CITIZENS! :D

  • @USAsoldier1955 What my fellow citizens do is their choice. As for being eaten by the Europeans... better than you being eaten by the middle east... and south-east asia XD have a nice day

  • @IIGECKOII Well, that's a rather RETARDED answer, EH?

    Of course, the Middle-East, South-East, China, North Korea, et all are EATING EACH OTHER....after CANADIAN LEFTOVERS! :D

    LOYAL SCOTLAND IN THE UK4EVER!

  • @USAsoldier1955 Fuck the Queen. God Save Bonnie Prince Charlie.

  • @tearlach45 fuck bonnie prince charlie. singlehandedly destroyed the clan system in scotland. Made out to be a romantic hero but it couldnt be further from the truth. 35,000 to 40,000 people were slaughtered after he buggered off when his uprising imploded.

    thanks carluccio.

  • @frettish The clan system was doomed for destruction long before he arrived. After Culloden, Tartan, Bagpipes and Gaelic were all banned by British law because they were all symbols of Catholicism in Scotland. It was the "glorious Protestant" religion that destroyed the clan system.

  • @USAsoldier1955 - For a Christian Minister, youre language is really inappropriate. "Somalian fanny on the dole ruled by true Scots" ???? Born and raised Roman Catholic the main message I get is that Jesus taught us to treat everyone the same no matter what religion, colour of skin etc. "every Christian nation is at War with the forces of the Antichrist Papacy, the False Prophet Mohammad"?? Do you honestly think the miraculous Jesus would have time for these pathetic views? Allahu Akbar

  • @tearlach45 = Phony Papist Racist Anti-Christian Bigot Mohammedan Pathetic Raghead HateMonkey

  • @USAsoldier1955 you DARE compare scotland to the United States of Asswholes? what brings you to the conclusion that the US of Asswholes are the "true Scotland"? has the "true scotland" vanished from the globe? im disgusted that some little republican faggot like you claims to be scottish. you know nothing of scotland or history. i have just one request: do humanity a favour and drop dead, scum of the world.

  • @USAsoldier1955 woooow - you found the google translator - bravo.

  • @USAsoldier1955 god has nothing to do with this, wanna-be scotsman. 

  • @LordOfCastleBlack Blames God For His Wee Failed Wanker Wannabe American

  • @USAsoldier1955 btw: "you are the google translator" now youve really hit me, dont you? how old are you??! twelve? your language is on the level of a premature schoolyardmonkey - oh, i forgot, youre a republican - explains everything

  • @LordOfCastleBlack = 11 year old immature schoolyard monkey wee German Nazi republican

  • @USAsoldier1955 First of all: Nazis are not welcome in Germany, and people like you who say all germans are Nazis will not survive long if they come to Germany. So, I ask you to please, for Gods sake:

    Shut the fuck up because you don't know nothing about anything. Faggot.

    Second: If you want Scotland to be loyal to the Brits. why were you american not loyal to the fuckin brits, hm?

  • @stikkbomb = wee german fag laddie failing to wank

    PS - We Americans ARE British, that's why we had the Revolution -- ye clod! READ! :D
