I deffy dont want the Scot's to leave us,but if the Scot's vote to leave G.B then so be it,but i feel salmond is just part of the E.U hierarchy and cares more for the e.u then Scotland,lets be honest he is no Bruce or Wallace,but what the Scot's want THEY SHOULD HAVE ..god bless em one an all,for G.B they have shed to much blood !!!...
Has no one ever thought that the reason why the unionist parties in Westminister are so anti indipendance in Scotland is that our English cousins might realise that they can have what we want. That is self determination. In other words revolution.World turned upside down?
reading all this i only wonder after your independence and change.....will you not slowly become what the americans are always trying to do trying to prove a connection or relationship to that what you have lost? it is always a hope for that what you wish for because as always be careful what you wish for
I never met such an argumentative lot than the Scots outside Scotland. All the passion seems to be built on negativity. These battles that are mentioned were some 700 years ago and Scotland was only briefly united in the past and mainly fought each other. The idea of an independent Scotland seems built on romance rather than reality.
@campbellgs Aren't they all? It's just politics and Scotlands internal historical politics have had just as much lies and deceit. I don't understand the idea that Scotland has somehow been fcked over by England. I'm not English btw.
@Easyandy100 Edward got Baliou to swear frielty to him.And bye him doing so,Edward thought that he owned Scotland.So he sent his army north to colognize us.And William Wallace and Murray,beat his sons army at Stirling.When he was fighting in France.At this time Bruce played him like a card.Edward was to trusting of Bruce.And Bruce became our King,after losing many battles.And winning a cival war against fellow Scots.And then winning our Independence at Bannorkburn in 1314.As our true noble King.
@Easyandy100 Scotland was a united nation,long before England ever was.And nobody is mentioning battles and wars off 700 years ago.We are looking to the future,when we get our referendum in 2014.Its all very positive if you ask me.The idea of a Indpendent Scotland,as based on hard facts.Such as the Gers report,and noble prize winners in economics like Joseph Stiglits.Saying that we can reach full fiscal autonomy with out England.After working on Scott and Hewletts findings,who also have PGD,s.
@legandrydirk If Scotland was united before England then what went wrong? An independent Scotland seems to be based on the common denominator of blind Nationalism. I don't see where this dislike of being in the union comes from. What has the union done to Scotland recently to cause a breakaway? This is all going to end in tears.
@Easyandy100 Our King fell on his horce and died,and left no air to the throne.The King off England was his brother in law.So our nobility thought it would be a good idea,for him to choise the next in line to be King,from Bruve,Comyn,Baliou.He picked Baliou when most never wanted him.As he was a puppet of Edward.Who tried to annex our Kingdom into his.It wont end in my tears.I am Scottish and dont belive you get two nationalities.Scotland can go it alone,smaller less rich nations are Independant
@Easyandy100 The union has stunted the groath off the nation.We dont have tax raising powers,that any other small nations has.And that means we lose a lot off potential,to compete with the rest off the world.We dont have our own army.And so we get taken into ileagle oil wars.When most people are against them.Dislike for the union is not a new thing.Riots happened on both sides of the border when it was made.The common person had no say in it.U needed 2 be a male land owner 2 vote and a MP.
@Easyandy100 It diss liked cos its not fair.Scotland pays its way in the union.And the rest off the UK,does not subsidise us.We give the London exchequar money each year,that we never see again.We pay the highest fuel prices in Europe to.And make the oil,but the refinaries are in England.If you bother to read the GERS report.You will understand what I am talking about.It spells it out quite clear,who is subsidising who.And who is getting the least out of being part of the union.
@legandrydirk 40C gets a bit much but I got a lovely tan! Love listening to this song! Not sure about independence but time will tell. I'll have a cold pint for you!
Haven't we had enough of being the kilted fairies that run about with the grouse and no electricity - these were questions my English cousins asked and I will never forget them - the questions and my cousinfs xx
@naughtycaj The commies tried the same scare mongering,about not being able to keep the lights on.And they were wrong,just like you are.It smacks off complete desparation on a Gov,to come out with such un founded bull shit.I would have expected better from the unionists,if I never know the blackness off how low that they can go.And I am old enough now,and have been keeping my eyes opened,not to be suprized bye them any longer.Miliband and Cameron cosying up,to fight the big bad NATS,what a joke.
@twinky666666 i take it you should be called twink instead of twinky,before you say too much ,have a look at your morris prancers before you pass comment on anything north of the border
I went to Scotland once. It was freezing cold. It rained constantly. The food was disgusting. All the men wore skirts. The women looked like men. I was attacked by a swarm of midges and I couldn't sleep because of the constant bagpipe playing. I'm never going back.
Scotland never joined England! It was forced to. My ancestors fought in the Jacobite uprisings. We were evicted and sent to the new world. Don't you remember the Highland Clearances? This is why I now live in America. England has stolen the resources of the Scottish people. Might of the English, more like reign of the ass clowns.
@redphoenix5100 The Highland clearences was down to rich Scottish lords like Sutherland.Staying in London and moving the crofters out to put in his sheep.As they made hi more money.And it was Scots who did most of the clearing on fellow Scots.I suggest that you read up on our history a bit more.The English never had a lot to do with it.Just like the rebellion and battle of Culloden.It was a civil war,more Scots fought Scots.Highlands V Lowlands helped bye the English.Down to religion as well.
@redphoenix5100 They never wannted the Catholic Stuarts back on the throne.And he was not even a Scot,he was from Italy.And had Irish and Polish and French in him to.It was all about him trying to take the British throne.He was warned not to attack England.And just take the crown of Scotland.He would not listen to reason.And he attacked England,and condemed 1000 of Highlanders to there graves.And ran away and never came back again with a army.Like the coward that he was.He was no William Wallace
@redphoenix5100 arnt you the lucky one living in america, you sould thank us then, you want to get it right though,it was a scotsman who betrayed william wallace,it was the protestant lowland scots who did not want the jacobites and their catholic puppet crowned ,the jacobite army invaded england mate ,it was a mainly scottish army that fought at culloden and beat the jacobites , scots loyal to the crown, in the early 1800s,it was scottish landowners that cleared the highland ,replaced by sheep
@redphoenix5100 and hey the jacobites had the french with them to, it was the union that kept these islands free from european invasion , the armada , napoleon ,kaiser ,hitler ,all would of had to come through us to get to scotland , ,the scots have been backstabbing each other since time began, ,one clan even used spanish soldiers from the armada to defeat its neighbour, my ancestors some of them ,were from the borders, the moffats ,the chief murdered by the next door clan and land seized
@redphoenix5100 ass clowns lol , we had the greatest empire ever seen mate ,rightly or wrongly, the US wouldnt exist today without us founding it , the french and spanish would of split the continent up , and what a shite nation you would of ended up with
The singer sounds Irish, which is apt because this is nought but a sickmaking, racist, nationalistic dirge, and should be consigned to the dustbin of time along with the Horst Wessel Lied. At least the english have had the good grace to remove the anti-scottish parts from God Save the Queen.
@properboisthat You do realize who sings our national anthem you wee git? stfu with yer shite and away back tae england with yeh son. learn tae read yer history first be4 postin m8
I like how there always a few english smartholes on this with a name like "themightoftheenglish" . thers been enough battles to prove england has no might . And more to the point if your country is so amazing , why the hell are you siting looking up OUR national anthem !? . Thums up if you agree . Sour Alba !!
@HDTrooper fuck you dickhead all your anti englishness will get you is make english people anti scots , hasnt history taught you anything , we had enough might to bring you to heel, and over a third of the world for that matter , oh and scotland did pretty well out of the empire to ,
@HDTrooper thats just it i dont hate scotland and id stand shoulder to shoulder with any scotsman ,ive got some scots blood, and my brother in law is from glasgow, i like scotland ,its the anti englishness of scots nationalists that get my goat , all of a sudden wanting independence, only because the,ll haave europe to borrow off insted.. never at our heel, thats why you speak english and i dont speak scots gaelic lol,
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Independance isnt about getting away from the english , its about the freedom we had for hundreds of years , i should have never been taken . Ive got nothing against the english people , I do have a few beefs with the country over all but thats just becuase of what happened in the days of william wallace.
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Well, its not that we harbour any ill feeling toward theEnglish, or at least, thats not the reason for wishing to leave the union. (we also have no beef with wales or the irish ) Its simply a necessary step forward for us to gain more control over our economic situation.
@BadlyToldFairyTales how can you do that , while europe will control what you have to contribute ,what you,ll have to pay ,they want even more control ,who bailed out bank of scotland, were will you get the money from for big projects , like say another tay bridge , you may gain control , but with far less funds to play with, once youve broke away, you cant just reverse it if it goes pear shaped.,what about the queen,shes your monarch to
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Well, thats based on the idea we intend on becoming a member state of the eu. But why does it bother you so much?The Might Of the English will not be made weaker by our leave.
@BadlyToldFairyTales wont it , be made weaker ?, getting rid of the tories will be much harder for a start ,europes a joke ,small nations taking ,larger nations giving , be another portugal or greece , as as it is , youve on partial autonomy, you are still part of the united kingdom, and if it effects the UK if scotland leaves the union .then we sould have a say also wether you do or not
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Yeah, you can keep the queen mate ;) ...I'm not even going to argue with you, do your research idiot, search for a video titled "Scottish Independence: Rebirth of A Nation - Independent Saltire" this should provide you with the answers you seek, unless you should decide to preoccupy your time worrying about your own country (wise move) ...In summary, "themightoftheenglish", on behalf of Scotland, to you I say: "Sit doon', san!" Bring on the referendum Mr Salmond!! <3
@Babycham8701 go ,be a small nation ,the only idiots are the ones who swallow the shite your fuhrer fat man salmond spouts out , you,ll be a lesser nation . forever linked to brussels , dont come crying down here when it all goes pearshaped , enjoy your independence ,you,ll always need us one way or another , whats that line , ahh yes ,rebellious scots to crush lol
@TheMightOfTheEnglish I'm assuming because you live in a country where paying to be educated is the only option, you were forced to choose one of the lesser reputable institutions? #handoverfacemoment - Jeeso', thought I told you to "sit doon" anyway "san" :/ yet you're still spewing out racist drivel? *tuts, simple man* "themightoftheenglish" type into Google: "define an English person" take a gander at the top result. I feel I've said all I need to say here. We done, aye? Aye, we're done ;)
@Babycham8701 lol your only getting free education because were subsidising you , you,ll soon find out when you join the euro mess , as for racist , lol whats the SNP ,go ,be a little nation controllled by brussels , but do it quietly without insulting the people whove helped to keep you secure from the same people who now want to control everything you do ,now were done jacobite lol
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Hey now, what's with this further antagonism? You speak of subsidy but its evident you haven't looked into the facts. This is important if you wish to be taken seriously here. I'm investing time with you, because despite your antagonism, its because on an understandable level you care about your own interests - However you're going about protecting them the wrong way. If you went about this by informing yourself, you would realize you have nothing to fear. As i have said.
@BadlyToldFairyTales antagonism? try telling that salmond from throwing insults about then, even your anthem is anti english , how can i take you lots seriously when youve deluded yourself, havent you learnt nothing about the EU,you want to go it alone yet keep the pound lol ,your nation will still rely heavily on the rest of us ,just as ireland does even though they run us down,again tell me how 4million people subsidise 58 million of us
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Scotland's future decided by Scottish people, end of... Go home, stay home and never darken our door again you morris dancing, cricket loving, queen hugging mug
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Our anthem is about beating English tyrany on our own soil.And about us winning our freedom and Independence.And its not even as good a song a Burns,Scots Wa Ha.And that is about exactly the same thing.Your Brit anthem is about,the genoside meeted out on to to Highland clans.And that had nothing to do about defending your nation.In that war the English got involved in a Scots civil war.It was actually more Scots fighting Scots at the battle of Culloden moor,I have been ther
@legandrydirk english tyranny , tell us something different cant you , to many braveheart viewings mate , it was a jock who grassed wallace up , and scots who defeated you jacobites at culludon, and it was scots troops as well as english that cleared the highlands ,and it was scottish landowners that ,cleared them further in the 19th century ,, even before the english were there , scottish clans were backstabbing each other all the time ,you didnt complain during the days of empire
@legandrydirk and at culloden ,the jacobites had french with them,,of course it was in defence , bonnie prince charlie wanted the english crown to,invaded england ,i know there was scots at culloden, and they were involved in the clearences to, so have a go at yourselves why dont you ,you scots did alright out of the empire ,, isnt it funny thst scottish MPs in westminster cant change thingsin england , yet english MPs have no say in the scots parliament,
@BadlyToldFairyTales London is the most subsidsed area of the UK.Portillo said so a few weeks ago,on that Politics show he does with that Scottish guy.We know that anyway,they let there mask slip though.I bet he will get told to deny that.And not say it again bye Cameron.Its the East End,its really poor in parts of it.The Olypics is going to regenerate parts of it.
@TheMightOfTheEnglish I was wrong, evidently we are just starting. You want to listen closely to @BadlyToldFairyTales (Touché!) and look into the facts before making yourself look so foolish in such a public medium. To quote Mr Salmond: "There is a wind of change blowing through Scottish politics" (subsequently sending shivers slithering down the necks of those in Whitehall) when you do look into the facts, ask youself, who subsidies who? Aw, I truly can not wait, bring on this referendum!! [X]
@Babycham8701 now why would that send shivers down whitehall, lol ,get off your high horse youve got delusions of granduer, the tories would be made up ,as labour would find it hard to win a national election again, the oil aint yours ,just because it may come ashore there ,and also even if it was youve got 20 years max before it runs out ,what you going to do then , tell me how can 4million or so ,subsidise 58million . whatever your fuhrer says ,youve obviously swallowed it lol suckers
@TheMightOfTheEnglish I courteously remain baffled at your effort here. Do you wish to be taken as a simple attention seeking troll? It gives your stance no favour if you do. The attempts to belittle and demean only serves to take away from the integrity of argument. What is your intention here? To learn? Or to attempt to demean and belittle what you have concluded indirectly threatens you? If it is the former, you would do better reading an impartial newspaper, considering what video this is.
@BadlyToldFairyTales troll lol , listen little man,whos throwing insults now , the insults are purely at the english ,and how hard done by you are and the oils ours nonsense , theres no such thing as scottish waters ,you are not an independent nation ,last time i looked its the United kingdom,,and its british territorial waters ,you wouldnt even attempt being independent without the oil, its so transparent ,as it is you scots get more per head than the english, im for keeping the union
@TheMightOfTheEnglish So you have chosen the latter. How disappointing. I had mistook you for someone worth having a conversation with. Sincere Apologies.
@BadlyToldFairyTales SNP are a bunch of anti english bigots , bribeing the electorate ,with free prescriptions and free college grants and the likes ,of course people will vote for them,, made me laugh when sean connery accepted his knighthood ,while saying what a good scots nationalist he is, calling people trolls , its called free speech ,something our fathers fought for ,scots welsh english together ,not backward thinking ,inward looking selfish SNP,you,ll end up a one party state ,
@BadlyToldFairyTales the only insults are by the scottish national party , do you see insults coming the other way only since this anti english stance from nationalistic scots ,you do your country a great diservice belittling us, the oils ours ,repeated over and over ,your like the kid with the ball at school, its my ball and im not playing any more ,you,ll rue the day that you put the boot into us in your attempts for independence,
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Wrong the SNP alone has 7 English born MP,s,and one is in a top job.He was after the British crown.And he was the rightful air to it.As he had the blood of James the first in him.He was not wanted as he was a Catholic.And Protestants from Germany,had took the monarchy.Scotland has always complained,there was riots when the union happened.Read our literature and poets.And you will see that there was always been dicent to the union.And England cant do nothing about my liberty
@legandrydirk they may be english, but there scottish nationalists ,doesnt matter wether he was the rightful heir , he was brought up in ffrance as you say and was a catholic,the majority of scots in the south didnt want him either ,as well as most english people . the poets lol , like robbie burns you mean,a drunken womaniser ,,as i said the scots during empire ,did pretty well out of the union,your shipyards full, engineering,and in all manner of matters ,as for liberty your more free than me
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Exept that you are wrong.I just proved you wrong.And there is English MP,s up here,in all the other parties to.Burns is one of the best poets of all time.And people from all over the world love his works,he was inspired bye nature and beatey and love.And was a humanist,who had love for his brothers and sisters all over the world.And he was no less of a drunk,than any other poet of the time.Its what they done back then.The working class never they died creating it you lier.
@legandrydirk and which parliament does he sit in , one MP,hasnt the clout to change anything,weve had scottish prime ministers ,liar you say , scottish people did do well, what about the scots who used the empire and the english speaking world to get rich in, the likes of carnagie,thomas lipton.thomas telford,,john macadam,james watt etc ,thrived in the union and beyond,,the working class had employment although poorly paid ,in england as well as scotland,,it was the british empire not english.
@TheMightOfTheEnglish I never said England made the Empire.And have never heard any Scots say it.The Royals of Scotland made the union.And Carnaigne made his money in America.You are not the brightest tool in the box are you?And they are all dead now.So who cares how much money they made 100 of years ago?I care about Scots earning a higher standard of living like Norway.And having there cultural indentity and uniqueness protected.We get that bye being our rightful nation again,it will happen.
@legandrydirk i know greed when i see it ,how much oil do you think there is left , 15 ,30 years tops , any higher standard of life would be short term, then what you going to do then, as a fully independent scotland coming into being , we,ll see , you,ll still rely on us ,
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Well Cameron said a fortnight ago up there,that there was a large surplus left off it.So its enough for him,to try and keep us in the union.And that alone tells you,that there will be more than what he is saying.Modern drilling the platform moves,so they find new fields all the time.And the have not used new drills in on land yet.When they do they believe that they will find the same kind of finds,that they done in Canada.Banking hedge funds makes money from the oil.
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Whiskey profits alone this year,gave us a extra 3 billion a year.We still build ships,have a avionics industry.And make computer parts and games.And we have rich minerial wealth,that we can tap into.There is a diamond mine already opened in the Highlands,and a gold mine.We could have more,and we create clean energy.Our wind and wave,and coal gasification programmes.Will along with our water.Be sold to you lot down south.We have everything that we need here thanks.
My Dad is a Scotsman, my mother English, I am British. This is one marriage that should never break. Better together and to never stand alone, with brother and sister from north to south.
@e3hammer I have never heard some one say they were British in the last few years, times change.
I don't think it's about north and south. I see it as taking responsibility for ourselves.If it makes me the poorest man on earth I still want the freedom to make my own decisions. Once I'm free I am rich beyond compare, ask any slave what he or she thinks!
you even have cornish seperatists on here wanting a seperate country lol,as for scotland its a shame some scots think were foreign,parts of england to me are foreign,trying to drive a wedge and cause hostility is a backwards step, no need for it id back the scots 100% in any conflict .welsh to,even though we take the mickey , i dont take offence ,of the line , send them homeward to think again, how about if we put rebellious scots to crush lol , what you going to do about the scots regiments
I am Scottish and i want my country to be independent. It has nothing to do with a hatred for the English or England. It is a hatred for the political unfair union we are both in which isn't good for either nation. Scotland should be left to the Scots and England should be left to the English to govern in the best interests of both our people. Two friendly neighbours..... Always united geographically, but NEVER politically ! Long may our nations prosper :)
when i was a young boy i lived in scotland, lived in glasgow and drank my share of irn bru. at the age 10 i moved to australia, and have been here now for 10 years. you can change what a person looks like and how they talk.. but if you fuck with scotland i'll give you a glasgow kiss
@ArranS96 Thanks for your love to my country - a rare thing, I must confess, especially from GB! Sure - we have much in common, Scots and Russians! xxx- three traditional Russian kisses, just kisses, not a punch!:)))
@ritylyua77 Turns out a Glasgow kiss is a headbutt, my badd :P (I'm not from Glasgow ;D) And, more people should love Russia it's a great country and we have much in common :)
@sxcmic And I'm wonderin' how many folks know what a glasgow kiss is, mate. ;)) The wife says try not to hurt anyone too much, and careful with your head, it's the only one you got. lol Cheers.
@aberdeenfc1983 will it now,and how are you going to survive in the future ? the oil is british oil , just because it piped ashore in scotland doesnt make it scottish, even if it was , what you going to do in 20 years when its gone , the only way scotland will survive is being tied to europe like the irish and greeks and portugese,you,ll be forever borrowing and be forever in their debt,being told what to do,and when to do it , your freedom will be a mirage ,your country a puppet to brussels
@TheMightOfTheEnglish The Oil isn't Scottish because it is piped ashore here. It is Scottish because it lies in Scottish territorial waters. When the people of Scotland vote for their independence then they, the sovereign people of Scotland will own the land and the waters which contain upto 90% of the North Sea's Oil. Even the British Government cannot determine international law. The Oil will belong to us and not to a foreign government hundreds of miles to the south. It's common sense !
@glasgow1234 scottish territorial waters only go out 12 miles last time i read , so no the oil is in neutral waters ive just futher read that theres an exclusive economic zone ,of 200 miles, foriegn government? the british government isnt foriegn , scottish MPs still sit in westminster , i heared that the so called scottish government want joint security , why should the british navy and air force look after scottish waters if your going to hog the oil, t
@glasgow1234 salmon wants to tone down his nationalistic rants ,hasnt he learnt nothing from history , it was british money that paid for the drilling and exploration iin the north sea ,we,ll see who ends up with what and those supplies wont last for ever , i dont believe the scots will vote for full indepenence , your beimg bribed with free prescriptions and college fees , that wont last once you have to look after your own finances ,
@glasgow1234 what is the law anyway , can scotland vote for indepenence, scotland is in the union , and we are a united island , the vote sould be for all in the UK , if that was the case we might want the union to stay , an independant scotland would affect england and wales , so we sould have a say what you do ,, the southern states in america tried to break away of the US and the north would not let them is an example
@TheMightOfTheEnglish The future of the Scottish people lies with the people of Scotland and with no other country. This is 2011, we live in a democracy. It would be completely bizarre for England or Wales to vote on the future of Scotland. Scotland & England joined this union as equals. And if one wants to leave it, then the other has no say in it at all.
@glasgow1234 i dont think so , if the leaving of the union effects us , we sould have a say , you are not an independent country yet , the only reason you want to leave is you have seen the likes of other small countries doing well out of european handouts,if you want total independence from foreign intervention ,leave europe to . the celtic tiger crashed, greece about to be kicked out of the euro zone ,portugal struggling, you will to alone
@glasgow1234 , its not 1600 with the jacobites and stewarts fighting for freedom, the only way scotland could be independent , is to get the oil ,leave europe and become like norway , scrap the foreign fisheries agreement which did nothing for our fishermen. will you disown the royal family, she is your queen to, disband the scots regiments wont be popular , you,ll lose your royal tag, who will you pledge alliegence to, alex the fuhrer salmond lol,will you have your own currency
@TheMightOfTheEnglish You have got to be the Scottish tory party on line with all the screw Scotland is too weak to do "sod all" entries you have made. Ass wipe! freedom is something any people can have as long as they are prepared to pay the price of standing up and claiming "No one owns me!" That is the difference between me and a lot of people and poor worth sod all you! I am prepared to stand in front of you anytime and tell you so, name the place and the time. Don't make it South of Annan!
@allowayfreestate lets put it this way mate , if you want to go backwards and be anti english , this nation if it wanted to be childish like yourself , could crush your nation economically and in everyway , start by tolling every crossing , hasnt history taught you anything at all , the only way you could survive is like ireland , be tied to the EU, , youve lost your fishing industry almost , oil is running out , you,ll still come to england in your thousands looking for work,
i hate the tories and government to dickhead we all do, kiss goodbye to your free prescriptions and course fees when you go it alone , and your scots regiments , go it alone then and keep out of england if thats your attitude ,, grow up ,
@glasgow1234 ,shall you have scottish passports and put border controls and tolls on the border . .its a backward step .a step to far , bringing division and flaming nationalism ,what ever you do you,ll always have to rely on us , one way or another , deregulation is one thing, total independence ,and calling us foriegners is to much, im quarter scots myself
@TheMightOfTheEnglish Yes we will have Scottish passports but we will not have border controls at all as Scotland and England would members of the EU and the open borders scheme. Independence for Scotland is a step backwards, yes, to when we once where independent! We are Scotland and England. We have always been divided, never one. And there is nothing at all wrong with civic nationalism. And no we don't have to rely on anyone. And England to me always has been a foreign country.
@glasgow1234 were we divided when defeating napoleon , or when we fought the kaiser and hitler , no , we were united , of course you have your history and we ours , but most recent , the last few hundred years is been our history , the same with wales , weve had problems way back but are better together , very strang saying were a forieign country when for te last couple of hundred years weve done everything together , tell me are you going to be a republic ? what about the royal family
@glasgow1234 its funny how you look down on us and some welsh nationalists ,probably because in the end we came out on top , and ruled all the UK , it doesnt matter whos in charge,i hate the tories as much as anyone , and new labour were traitors to their own policys , the english working class has suffered the same as scottish working class and welsh , more english were transported to australia than anyone , the slums the workhouses, it wont change because you have a scottish government
@TheMightOfTheEnglish A quarter Scottish but you are 100% blind. Don't you want to take control of your own life in your own country? If you have any idea of our (Scottish history) It's about the pride in saying we are our own, we don't owe allegiance to another power and we certainly don't rely on you! You can't run your own country let alone ours. Your are us as long as you can look down on us you mean" We don't want or need or are going to have you anymore.You are neither Scots or English.
@allowayfreestate youve been watching to much braveheart mate , we cant run our own country , last time i looked parliaments full of scotsmen , they can effect british laws and so on, yet english MPs have no say in your parliament , its the british government not the english government , we havent got one mate , you speak like some nazi nutter , oh im english alright make no mistake , you want to tell that scottish nationalist mate of yours sean connery , to hand his knighthood back
@glasgow1234 Lol you do know when you get your independence england will get the north sea? If you want proof i'll gladly give it. Oh an scotland will convert to the Euro. The Euro is failing by the way.
@jayc342009 What a really stupid and uneducated thing to say. England will get the north sea haha, what are you like 14? Scotland already has a territorial water boundary recognised by the EU and UN and when Scotland becomes independent those waters will belong to the sovereign people of Scotland and not to a foreign nation hundreds of miles to the south. Name another country in the world where their waters are controlled by another country? Get real ffs ! Scotland will NOT convert to the Euro!
@glasgow1234 You're an idiot, seriously you have no clue do you? Oh and yes i'm 14 yes mate, is that the best you got? You stick to your silly opinions but there far from the truth you delusional retard.

I LOVE SCOTLAND BIG TIME BEEN ROUND THE FULL COUNTRY AND SEEN THE LOT I AM ALSO SO PROUD TO BE PART OF THE UK. AND TITS LIKE YOU DANNY WOULD LOVE TO NO WHERE YOU LIVE BIG MAN
you are all pathethic whatever happend to united kingdom, iam british and proud, us soldiers fight along side each other and all pathetic people back home do is bitch about where their from. just enjoy song and grow up.
Im english and im ashamed that we have a shitty save the fucking waste of space queen song! This is far far better singing about the pride of a nation! not some money wasting instutition!
Born and brought up in England but my dear ole daddy was a Scot. That means I've tartan blood running through these veins. I love this Scottish anthem, brings a tear to my eyes everytime i hear it. God bless Bonnie SCOTLAND.
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall, Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands, This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
How have you managed to come to this conclusion? It's a song about longing for Scotland to rise again as a nation separate from Britain. It couldn't be any less inclusive towards the other British nations.
I have no objection to people that think Scots are British, but this song just blatantly isn't.
@morgancccc The Scots are British you moron, what do you mean "No objection to those that think Scots are British"? It's not a case of 'think' or opinion, it's a simple fact.
You are a Yank aren't you?
Great Britain is a 1707 Political construct and term of citizenship hence Scotland making up the Northern third of Great Britain, the United Kingdom existed from 1603 when King James VI of Scots took over the English throne, so the UK is 104 years older than GB, a 1707 political construct.
@Calengela Regardless of any facts about countries and unions, people can still identify as a certain thing. Many people do identify as British, but there are many who identify as Scottish or something else and do not like the word British. In this case it could be a matter of opinion. This is the internet after all, and if someone wants to identify as Scottish, then they are allowed to do so regardless of 1707. On the other hand I like a YT comment from someone who knows their history. :)
@morgancccc Con't, Whether the Scots go for independence or not (Which they might in a few years) is irrelevant because these days Great Britain is becoming a geographical term rather than a political term nowadays any way, just as it was pre-1707, as Scotland reconvened it's own parliament back in 1999, so the Scots and English would be British post independence in the same way that the Norwegian and Swedes are Scandinavian, as the name refers to the name of the land and not the country.
How have you managed to come to this conclusion? It's a song about longing for Scotland to rise again as a nation separate from Britain. It couldn't be any less inclusive towards the other British nations.
I have no objection to people that Scots are British, but this song just blatantly isn't.

I never met such an argumentative lot than the Scots outside Scotland. All the passion seems to be built on negativity. These battles that are mentioned were some 700 years ago and Scotland was only briefly united in the past and mainly fought each other. The idea of an independent Scotland seems built on romance rather than reality.

@Easyandy100 Our King fell on his horce and died,and left no air to the throne.The King off England was his brother in law.So our nobility thought it would be a good idea,for him to choise the next in line to be King,from Bruve,Comyn,Baliou.He picked Baliou when most never wanted him.As he was a puppet of Edward.Who tried to annex our Kingdom into his.It wont end in my tears.I am Scottish and dont belive you get two nationalities.Scotland can go it alone,smaller less rich nations are Independant

I don't think it's about north and south. I see it as taking responsibility for ourselves.If it makes me the poorest man on earth I still want the freedom to make my own decisions. Once I'm free I am rich beyond compare, ask any slave what he or she thinks!

END THE UNION !
I am Scottish and i want my country to be independent. It has nothing to do with a hatred for the English or England. It is a hatred for the political unfair union we are both in which isn't good for either nation. Scotland should be left to the Scots and England should be left to the English to govern in the best interests of both our people. Two friendly neighbours..... Always united geographically, but NEVER politically ! Long may our nations prosper :)

@aberdeenfc1983 will it now,and how are you going to survive in the future ? the oil is british oil , just because it piped ashore in scotland doesnt make it scottish, even if it was , what you going to do in 20 years when its gone , the only way scotland will survive is being tied to europe like the irish and greeks and portugese,you,ll be forever borrowing and be forever in their debt,being told what to do,and when to do it , your freedom will be a mirage ,your country a puppet to brussels
TheMightOfTheEnglish 3 months ago
@TheMightOfTheEnglish The Oil isn't Scottish because it is piped ashore here. It is Scottish because it lies in Scottish territorial waters. When the people of Scotland vote for their independence then they, the sovereign people of Scotland will own the land and the waters which contain upto 90% of the North Sea's Oil. Even the British Government cannot determine international law. The Oil will belong to us and not to a foreign government hundreds of miles to the south. It's common sense !
glasgow1234 2 months ago 3
@glasgow1234 scottish territorial waters only go out 12 miles last time i read , so no the oil is in neutral waters ive just futher read that theres an exclusive economic zone ,of 200 miles, foriegn government? the british government isnt foriegn , scottish MPs still sit in westminster , i heared that the so called scottish government want joint security , why should the british navy and air force look after scottish waters if your going to hog the oil, t

@glasgow1234 what is the law anyway , can scotland vote for indepenence, scotland is in the union , and we are a united island , the vote sould be for all in the UK , if that was the case we might want the union to stay , an independant scotland would affect england and wales , so we sould have a say what you do ,, the southern states in america tried to break away of the US and the north would not let them is an example

@TheMightOfTheEnglish The future of the Scottish people lies with the people of Scotland and with no other country. This is 2011, we live in a democracy.

And if one wants to leave it, then the other has no say in it at all.

@glasgow1234 i dont think so , if the leaving of the union effects us , we sould have a say , you are not an independent country yet , the only reason you want to leave is you have seen the likes of other small countries doing well out of european handouts,if you want total independence from foreign intervention ,leave europe to . the celtic tiger crashed, greece about to be kicked out of the euro zone ,portugal struggling, you will to alone

@TheMightOfTheEnglish Yes we will have Scottish passports but we will not have border controls at all as Scotland and England would members of the EU and the open borders scheme. Independence for Scotland is a step backwards, yes, to when we once where independent! We are Scotland and England. We have always been divided, never one. And there is nothing at all wrong with civic nationalism. And no we don't have to rely on anyone. And England to me always has been a foreign country.

How have you managed to come to this conclusion? It's a song about longing for Scotland to rise again as a nation separate from Britain. It couldn't be any less inclusive towards the other British nations.

@morgancccc The Scots are British you moron, what do you mean "No objection to those that think Scots are British"? It's not a case of 'think' or opinion, it's a simple fact.
You are a Yank aren't you?
Great Britain is a 1707 Political construct and term of citizenship hence Scotland making up the Northern third of Great Britain, the United Kingdom existed from 1603 when King James VI of Scots took over the English throne, so the UK is 104 years older than GB, a 1707 political construct.

@Calengela Regardless of any facts about countries and unions, people can still identify as a certain thing. Many people do identify as British, but there are many who identify as Scottish or something else and do not like the word British. In this case it could be a matter of opinion. This is the internet after all, and if someone wants to identify as Scottish, then they are allowed to do so regardless of 1707. On the other hand I like a YT comment from someone who knows their history. :)
dtrez09 4 months ago
@morgancccc Con't, Whether the Scots go for independence or not (Which they might in a few years) is irrelevant because these days Great Britain is becoming a geographical term rather than a political term nowadays any way, just as it was pre-1707, as Scotland reconvened it's own parliament back in 1999, so the Scots and English would be British post independence in the same way that the Norwegian and Swedes are Scandinavian, as the name refers to the name of the land and not the country.
