St Andrews Day March 2006 - Scottish Independence

[NumberDne]

A great Scottish king put this UK union together, uniting lands on a small island, and bringing us together in unity to take on the world as one, and now some scottish individuals want to tear down his creation, for what? The United Kingdom was made for us to be family, all of our nations fly upon the union jack. We have been to battle side by side stopping hitler, the worst foe to threaten our island. UK interbreeding meens that many of us now have mixed UK blood. so why destroy this?

[SCOAlba]

I say enough of waiting.. Lets just go to WAR with these Fuckers.. I know what alot of people will say about this,how we cant go to war etc.. but Voting will never work.. the English will not let us go.. we have too much money etc.. Greedy Arses.. We really need to do something about this Scotland.. Keep up the good work promoting SNP etc.. but lets make this Reality !!

ALBA GU BRÀTH AGUS SAOR !!!!!!!!

[1scot4scotland]

I can't help but noticing some of the toxically negative comments below. No doubt they're from the unionist brigade. They should come with a hazardous warning sign saying... Watch out unionism can be Contagious, many generations have exposed to this and it has caused many of the adverse effects on scottish society you see today. That is why I support independence because it's not negative, it's a fresh start and a postive way forward.

[TheJacobiker]

Was a good day, my family were all proud to be there

[CosmosLoyal]

St Andrew was nothing more than an eccentric cultist from the Middle East. I'll stick with celebrating a real Scotsman like Robert Burns if it's ok with the Scottish Government and their brainwashed sycophantic followers? And I can certainly do without dressing up in Roman execution symbols.

[gsm315]

Salmond and his cowardly minions have set back Scottish Independence by a least a generation.

The release of a mass murderer, Megrahi, has forever stained their reputation.

Shame on you Salmond,and the SNP.

[IndependentScotland]

INDEPENDENCE NOW !

[1slyf0x]

SCOTLAND !!!

*parties, i knew id typo somewhere

"we can still rise now, and be that nation again"

Hopefully the scots will get independence soon enough and we will follow you out...hopefully.

Good luck guys,

What's the name of this beautiful song? I've heard this sung at fesieanna ceoil in Ireland many times, but don't know the name of it.

[bacabu30]

sorry, typo: feiseanna ceoil!

[freescotlandnow]

All that indicates is that the British Empire was skilled in the policy of divide 'n' rule but you can't fool all the people all the time. I agree the British establishment is the enemy. England's people are no different from any other country and I am certain they would accept our right to vote for independence and wish us well. The problem is turncoats like Brown who see a greater power in ruling England than Scotland. That's the problem, they want the union to continue for their own ends.

[freescotlandnow]

The whole point is that Scotland's Government should have decided on whether we wanted any part of this war. We need to have our own flag flying at the UN then we can decide our own foreign policy and reject Trident if our people don't want it (and they don't.) England has nothing to fear from independence and Scotland and Wales have everything to gain.

[1BIGJOCK]

if scotland go independent.... what about the british army?

[freescotlandnow]

There won't be a British army. There will still be a Scottish army however and the Scottish people will decide when and if they should go to war. We won't be threatening other nations with nuclear oblivion nor will we be paying for unusable nuclear weapons.

[1BIGJOCK]

wales, n.irland, eng will still be great britain.

but scotland could not get an army it has to be over 90 odd thousand to qualify and between the uk and commomwelth countrys at the moment we are struggling to keep it over 100 thousand. it would be more of a defence force.

[freescotlandnow]

This is all we need. Btw I reckon Wales will follow us out and I can't see even NI wanting to be legally part of England. The Empire is over and the UK seeks international power by hanging on to the coat tails of the US. The cost to us is a hell of a lot of dead daft laddies and I don't think it's worth it. If Scots soldiers are to be killed it should while defending their country not invading someone else's.

[1BIGJOCK]

i can see where you are coming from.

p.s im a scottish soldier.

[irishoforiel]

May the Scots one day have thier own nation again! Alba Gru Brath!

[seonidh]

Half way there my friend :)

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

exactly mo dearthair!! beidh ar la ar linn!!

[psychobartus]

very good to see, independence is the best option for all our countries, im English, but please dont confuse England with Britain or the government, the enemy for us all is Briatin, I love Scotland and the Scots I even manage to like the Welsh (Joke) we should all work together as one against the British gov until we all have what we want: independence!!!

[freescotlandnow]

Cheers!

[MagnersAddict]

BEST OF LUCK FROM WEST BELFAST

[CELTICI888]

thanks man.

cheers

[OriginalRock]

Thig Ar Latha!, there is no spirit stronger than the Scottish spirit.

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

don't forget irish spirit!

[freescotlandnow]

Scotland is entirely capable of the normal powers of independence and at least then we won't be patronised by racist imperialist British loons like yourself. England and Scotland are two very different countries of very different sizes. An equal union is therefore impossible and independence the only logical answer.

[OriginalRock]

freescotlandnow, just woke up, its before dawn in America, keep that Scottish Eagle soaring high as your symbol its coming soon, we hear you my friend.

[imperialbritain]

You pathetic scots find a bit of oil and think you can manage alone, you puffs men in skirts.

[OriginalRock]

Free Scotland Now, I am out of here for ever. Done with finished.

[OriginalRock]

The USA is an Indivisible Republic, we are not like the British Empire that lived on foreign Nations' resources and foreign slave Labor, the British Empire was worse than Nazi Germany, dishonorable lutes. You should not bring back the ugly past. Americans are simple down to earth people, generous and kind; we do not fit in the word great in front because we are not pupas, self center egoistic snobs. The Romans, Greeks and Egyptians contributed much more than your so called Great empire ever did.

[chrispeeez]

You're being silly now - The USA has and does live off all types of foreign Nations resources = their peoples skills ie;scientists,engineers, etc....slave labour was abolished 200 years ago but the U.S carried on with it! Don't forget about what the U.S dide to the American indians!

[chrispeeez]

Don't forget who built your country...(All with Foreign Nations resources). The ugly past as you put was made up from many countries combined. Yes ...i do agree with you that Americans are simple but disagree about the self centered egoistical bit. Also the U.S import more than export...why? cos they use cheap labour from Mexico, China, India, Korea etc. I know alot of western countries do. The 'Great' in front of Britain describes the combination of England,Scotland and Wales.

[OriginalRock]

chrispeeez, please, we do not go out to invade countries to take their resources and use them for slave labor like the empire did in India and China and Africa, the Mexicans they all want to come here and many sneak through the border illegally, they live and enjoy life to the fullest over here even though they are illegal.

[chrispeeez]

Your'e so naive. The U.S invaded Iraq ...to secure a cheap return of debt from oil=fact. Slave labour continues today in the U.S, ever read about those poor fruit pickers down in Florida recently ? Who do you think laboured the laying of roads and rail tracks? The Mexicans first settled in California long b4 the White man came along....

[OriginalRock]

chrispeeez, I have to admit that the British did invent the steam engine and start the industrial revolution, which was pretty good.

[chrispeeez]

pretty good !?! - it changed the World !! Thanks to the Union of the United Kingdom. That's why (going back to the original topic) i still believe the Union remains good thing to this day.

[freescotlandnow]

Actualy it was a Scot, James Watt.

[OriginalRock]

James Watt was a Scot too, maaaan, that leaves the English just about nothing - lol

[freescotlandnow]

Born in Greenock, Scotland in 1736. It's typcal English behaviour though claim every Scottish achievement on behalf of Britain. If independence is good enough for every other country (including the US) then it makes sense for Scotland as well.

[chrispeeez]

I believe that if the E.U wasn't so generous handing out funds to newbie E.U countries, Scotland wouldn't be so interested in leaving the Union.

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

go on the boys!! support from ireland here fuck the union jack!! us irish luv yis you put up the strongest fight but now there's scottish men who have the cheek to call thmselves british as well!! UP IRELAND AND SCOTLAND!! TIOCFAIDH AR LA!! in irish- Beidh ár lá linn- our day will come!!

[OriginalRock]

OK, now that you know what the Scots want, and you now know better not to mess with the USA, you can go and have a merry christmas.

[OriginalRock]

Graham Bell was a Scots man,

[OriginalRock]

you backward creep, friends are not compatriots, bet you that I have more Scottish and Irish friends than you asshole, you say, "stay out of the British isles", no, screw you, no we're coming to the British isles because you didn't stay out of the rest of the world, you didn't leave the rest of the world alone asshole and we are coming to liberate Scotland when they say so, bitch. The whole world hates you English sheep shagger.

[chrispeeez]

The only thing that the U.S is interested about Scottish independance is where they can build new missle silos to protect themselves from russia.....

[OriginalRock]

chrispeeez, whats wrong with that, we help you just about everywhere on the planet.

Happy New Year :)

[chrispeeez]

'What's wrong with that?'- One knows that the front line gets bombed first.... and anyhow Scots look like rejecting Trident. 'The U.S helps about everywhere on the Planet'- The U.S.A is the single most biggest polluter and drains most of the Planets natural resources.... that's not helping ANYONE on the Planet !

[OriginalRock]

No that's not the only thing, and I do not speak for all Americans, but I am sure if they were asked the majority would like to see a free and independent Republic of Scotland!!

[chrispeeez]

I bet if you ask 'where is Scotland?' alot of Americans wouldn't know where it is.

[OriginalRock]

Maybe, its not for them to decide, its the Scots who decide, the union can/will still remain, but, there are many Americans from Scottish, Saxons and Germans decent and they do know Scotland very well, can promise you that. You see chrispeez, America is strong because Americans came from every country on this planet.

[OriginalRock]

Saxonwall, if they judged you on the atrocities that your ancestors of the British Empire did you would be locked up by now, look at your script, look at how many "F" words you used, you attacked me first you asshole, and that JLees2000uk attacked the American people first asshole before I came in here, bloody barbarians, there is nothing civilized about you english sheep shaggers, One day Scotland will become a republic and Scotland will be greater and more powerful than England.

[OriginalRock]

Its the Republic of Scotland, not those none Scottish English Monarchs puppets that you talking about, hahaha, you can laugh its Ok for you asshole because you're English sheep shagger, idiot, but what about the Scottish! they're not happy, I side with the Scottish people, whatever they say goes, but you can put a sock in your mouth you are not Scottish.

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

long live scotland and ireland mo dearthair! (my brother!)

[OriginalRock]

T. Blair was born in Edinburgh and Gordon Brown was born in Glasgow, they are both Cockney A.holes and neither of them is Scottish, If a monkey was born in a Hospital does that mean it is human, No it doesn't, dumbass, don't answer the question and then ask it, this is the last time I'll reply you arshole, butt face. Go put a sock on and shag a sheep or a lamb or something with 4 legs and two toes that matches your mental ability. B'lair.

[OriginalRock]

saxonwall, for your information I am a white Caucasian male and a citizen of the USA, I don't shag monkeys like you dumbass.

[OriginalRock]

The British Empire was a lute; the Scottish people were the only honorable entity about it.

[AngleMerc]

What was so honorable about the Scots?

You need to read more history books before making stupid comments like that.

[OriginalRock]

They won the empire for you, they were all the soldiers that protected your old finished and gone with the wind Empire

[OriginalRock]

Bloody B'lair, the Brits built nothing, the British empire only invaded, maimed, stole, murdered and created immorality everywhere they went, England sucks, leave Scotland alone, "you want England to be independent"!! You demented and deranged scum, you wacko punk. You are not worthy of my reply again.

[OriginalRock]

Hey saxonwall, "God created you only because he was disappointment with the monkey", yo english imperialist scum bag. Scotland forever. William Wallace shall return.

[asc2323]

where do they get these balloons -up scotland down nasty old england,i,m half scot ,half mick ,half jamaican and i can,t do fractions can i play ?

[kelv747]

i seriously hope scots break free of england let them worry about their oil wars in iraq.scots are a differnt people,different culture,different and beautiful country.let the scots identity be shown ask english ministers to translate this.alba go breagh agus eireann saor they wouldnt be able thats why scots are different.free scotland, free alba supported by irish people.

[LibertineLover07]

Thank you for putting this up!! ITS TIME WE TOOK A STAND against all you english fuckers

MON SCOTLAND

[cavaliergaze]

What's wrong with a devolved parliament? Is it a quest for world greatness that can be done from outside of the framework of the UK, or the rampant strain of nationalism that makes Scots this way?

[saveoursaltire]

"What's wrong with a devolved parliament"

Scotland would still be ruled by a foreign country.

[glasgow1234]

Okay now!! Speaking on behalf of the Youth of Scotland** I am so proud to be Scottish and call myself a Scotsman.I fully support Independence for my country.I also agree that English people should be given their own gov too. Open your eyes people!!! We are too different Coutries with different people

[OriginalRock]

Nice music

[OriginalRock]

Someone help free these great people, they've had enough.

[FengLong]

theres a picture of mel gibson on the opening banner..... ha~~~~~

that says it all~ xD

[YoungEnglishDemocrat]

This is a great video. I am English myself but I totally admire the Scottish sense of Nationalism. I wish so many times that England had the same. I fully support Scotland whether she decide to become independent or stay with us. I am a nationalist and agree that Scotland (at her own will) be independent as she may prosper more outside the EU and UK than in.

[JLees2000uk]

Idiot! yes lets destroy 300 years of being the Greatest and 250 years of being the most powerful nation on Earth. The power of the United Kingdom comes from all 4 Countries (if you can call N Ireland a country its really a province). Together we have ruled the world and no one has influenced the developing of the world we live in more than the British. Excet the bad bits that was the americans.

[OriginalRock]

Those Americans are the ones who kicked your monarchist imperialist pigs arses out of America and built the greatest republic in the world that made your country look like a trailer park. Dumass.

[JLees2000uk]

Out of America i dont remember that happening. i remember we lost the colonies but i dont remember them being kicked out america. I dont think you can call Britain a trailer park in relation to the US. The US is the most destructive nation on the planet. has only been a superpower for 60 years. has the highest gun fatalities, worst healthcare and one of the weakest currencies in the western world. It also has one of the highest amounts of propoganda.

[OriginalRock]

America was the one who liberated you and the Frenchies from the dark ages saved you from an immanent defeat by the Germans, America is the one who has been carrying western values and freedom on its shoulders.

[OriginalRock]

Your past colonies around the world all kicked you out, they all hate you for invading their lands, stealing their resources and oppressing their people, how low can you go!!

You mass murdered the red Indian with malaria, and slaved the black man and slaved the asian Indian and ruined every country you went to, the British empire was a disaster,

[JLees2000uk]

oh my god you really are ignorant to the truth aren't you? Britain abolished slavery 100 years before the US. The native americans were used to trade with we lived along side them. the US took their land and pushed them west into the wastelands. We were not kicked out of every country. after the war we were bankrupt and it was the americans forcing us to lower the value of the pound which meant we couldn't continue to keep our empire. This meant we had to abandon our empire

[OriginalRock]

Now it wasn't the British empire who put chains on the black man and brought him to the west Indies to be sold like commodities, it wasn't the British empire who backed the absolute monarchies around the world and back stabbed the arabs with Laurence of Arabia, kept cashmere in suspense, and distributed pop plant and heroin around the world.

[JLees2000uk]

The new war in Iraq was to save the dollar and was America's idea not Britain's although many Americans believe it to be a British plot to ruin America's car and farming industry. I really do hope that's true and it made me feel so proud when a presidential candidate brought it up.

[OriginalRock]

Especially with your food, I don't think anyone with the right state of mind would want to eat your food; "black pudding"- yak, yak

[JLees2000uk]

I never saw the attraction to black pudding. you wanna try a London Pizza. Its a North East Specialty. Im not saying there weren't atrocities, but no nation is without them. Its how nations survive. But you have to admit that there were positives to the Empire. I also think that you cant really say we were opoosed in all the nations we inhabitted. Anyway i have enjoyed this debate however i believe that we have gotten off point in relation to the video.

[JLees2000uk]

I'm not saying the Slave trade never happened and we were the largest exporter of slaves. The slave trade made up a considerable lump of our GDP. Yet still we abolished it at the height of its trade. The British despite the economic benefits of slavery abolished it in 1783. The Royal Navy, which was the largest navy in the world at the time (Interesting fact it was policy to maintain a Naval strength greater than any 2 nations put together), was tasked with hunting the slave ships down.

[OriginalRock]

OK, JLess2000uk, even though, the British Empire is not loved all over the world, the British Empire had made lots of atrocities around the world, they took what did not belong to them and murdered, oppressed and tortured many people around the world, you would be dreaming to think that countries like America or Canada or India or Egypt or Iraq would love to have the British reinvade their lands and dictate their way of life on to them.

[JLees2000uk]

and this is one of the reasons people are dying in Africa because of the US. How could you liberate us we were never taken over you fat yank. Freedom your people aren't even free your media keeps you enslaved.

[OriginalRock]

You talk about abolishing slavery 100 years ago while you still discriminate between royals, commoners, Scott's men and Pakistanis and Indian, you slaved the Asian Indian for 4 hundred years. You say the British Empire did not kill tens of thousands of red Indians in New Orleans and west of the colonies you are stuped. You send poor old Scotts to fight your wars while you southern English get fatter and lumpier.

[nchangaman]

You spelling is appalling! Who are Scott's men. Are these the guys who went to the South Pole? Or do you mean Scotsmen (from Scoland)

[OriginalRock]

Scottish, Scotsmen and women from good old beautiful Scotland, Scotland all the way, alright old buddy, old pal. Alrighty :)- lol

[OriginalRock]

It wasn't the British empire that left the Middle east in the mess its in right now, you attacked Egypt for 350 years and took the suez canal from a corrupt monarch and lied to the whole world with propaganda about who really built the canal. It wasn't British intelligence that lied about uranium to Iraq from Negger; the invasion of Iraq is an old English imperialist and Zionist plot.

[freescotlandnow]

Northern Ireland is a part of Ireland which was swindled from them by Britain. England actually tried to put Wales permanently in England in 1746 (in a British parliamentary bill where they also stole Berwick upon Tweed thereby invalidating the 1707 Treaty of Union). Scotland, England, Wales and Cornwall all need to become fully independent. This union does not suit anyone any more.

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

well , i have a question for a TRUE scotsman. what do you think about the so-called ''ulster-scot'' (bullshitters) loyalists in the north? do you actually like them? they ACTUALLY think they have support of the majority of people in scotland!! would you regard them as traitors? they're connections with scotland have been long diluted and they won't face the facts. they think they're still scottish!! they wave your honourable flag in shame! neither irish OR scottish, they're british!!

[freescotlandnow]

I think the job of convincing the NI unionists that their future is in Ireland depends on Irish nationalists. They're not Scots they're Brits so they wouldn't listen to anything from a Scots nationalist (apart from maybe Alex Salmond who is trying to create common ground with the NI assembly against London dictat).

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

it's just hard because it's like they're breastfeedin of the british government and the little bastards won't settle for anyhting else. they've got nothing to be afraid of us for, and they're too thick to realise that... our flag (green, white and orange) represents ALL people in ireland... we're not racist, fascist, imperialist bastards unlike that horrific orange order...

[seonidh]

Its a tricky subject, I think their Irish as they have lived in Ireland for some 500 years. But they seem to focus all their loyalties to Britan while scotlands rousing itself to actually leave the union.

[moncreef]

i know, and they're trying to push YOU into not leaving the union, just cos' they still think they're scots and that they have an opinion in the matter! they dont see that britain doesn't give a fuck about them and they'd give us northern ireland already if no for the british bastards! just cos there's british people there doens't mean that it is a british place!! same with scotland.... the loyalists in scotland can fuck off to england or shut the fuck up!

[seonidh]

We have a similar situation in Scotland though. The Irish scots in Glasgow and its surrounding area etc vote Labour (a unionist party) and some of them scorn scottish independence and concider themselves more Irish than scots. But still vote for a unionist party. Strange.

[moncreef]

that's fucking stupid! when push comes to shove we're two very closely related countries and we should support eachother in what we do. how can someone be a patriotic scotsman or irishman and still call themselves british? well i for one support independence for scotland and unity for the north and the republic of ireland regardless of a bunch of british babies still clinging on to long-forgotten victories and descendancy.... Eireann agus Albain go brath!!

[seonidh]

Well said my friend, Gaels are the same people who travelled between both countries and established links even before our countries were founded. Share the same culture, languages, music etc. The divide between the Scotsman and Irishman is so blurred where does one end and the other begin?

[seonidh]

Thanks for that my friend, spread the word in Ireland that celtic fans from Glasgow who vote for a unionist party (labour etc) are hypocrit's. One minute they proudly say they love Ireland while voting FOR britain. While only a short while ago in scottish catholic community (as I am one) in Scotland used to say a vote for the SNP was a vote for the orange order! What utter crap!

[seonidh]

Scotland and Ireland have a long history and Gaels from both countries travelled between the two even before both countries were founded. We have the same language, culture and music, although trust the saxon to brainwash members of both countries to subjigate and divide us.

[BarbieGOREWearsPrada]

I love my wee country wae all my heart!! Im proud to be Scottish entierly. And i will call myself SCOTTISH, not British..But i'm also Quarter, Irish Quarter English. I'd like the UK to stay together...were stronger that way, FUCK EUROPE!

[nchangaman]

You may feel Scottish, but until the Union is disbanded, you remain British like it or not! See what it says on your UK PASSPORT - if you have one!

[OriginalRock]

The English discriminate against their own mothers, let alone the Scottish, we know what the British have on their passports, "grad 1, 2, 3, citizens Pakistani & Indian citizens". Under the rule of evil and greedy monarchists, a kings sons will always be a fat ass lazy ignorant king and the son of a mail man will always remain poor and hard working slave of the king.

[nchangaman]

What on Earth are you trying to say? Have you taken a course in Gibberish or just a course of SNP hatred tablets?

[kelv747]

after spending over a year in scotland,i have seen scottish pride firsthand and admire it.i support there quest for indepence, and to show their own unique identity.its a disgrace to hear their pound not be snubed in some parts of england.the scots have an identity and language and a beautifull country something the english cant take from ye so i hope alba/scotland suceeds.

[Kewpa0]

You dumb mother fuckers. At least in the U.K. you have liberty, trial by jury and democracy. If Scotland seperate, you will get butt fucked by the europeans, and democracy WILL DIE. Our children will have an even harder battle on their hands. INDEPENDENCE FROM EUROPE

[freescotlandnow]

With independence we have the ultimate choice on whether to stay in the EU or not. The EU is not actually any threat to Scotland at the moment however unlike the UK which rules our defence and foreign policy and denies us our rightful seat at the UN. as long as British unionists rely on fear and xenophobia they will lose all the political arguments.
