Alex Salmond makes me proud to be Scottish, he deserves respect.

@ukipwarrior I know your a UKIP monkey and understand little outside your own insular world, but the Euro isn't the only currency in Europe, Scotland would be far better off basing its own currency on oil and gas exports like the Norweigen Krone. Englands 'sterling' currency would be based on... debt?

@TheLiberalKnight

Families and Culture bond us with Ireland, The USA and Canada too. WOn't make a difference if Scotland is an Independent country, I'm not planning on never speaking to my cousins again. Swedes, Norwegians, Finns all manage to be Scandinavian without Stockholm running the show.

@TheLiberalKnight

Ah the majority of Scots don't want Independence, I see, then why waist your time fighting it? I wish Salmond, A majority elected first minister, could live up the the great example of the minority coilition government UK leader Mr. Cameron. Yes he gave the UK a fare referendum on the UK's place in the E.U didn't he? He didn't rush the AV vote at all and we in Scotland a farley represented when we have 1 Tory MP. Yay for this liberal democracy.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@Cybopath I love Scotland, actually. The truth is, the majority of Scots don't want to leave the union. Scotland and England are moving ever closer together. Families bond us, trade bonds us, culture bonds us, and society bonds us. The Scottish nationalists are a filthly, nazi, fascist minority of Scots. That is the truth. You have gained attention because of your leader Salmond, who is very good with PR and lying.

@TheLiberalKnight

But at the end of the day if Scotland, A little shit hole as you descrided it, is full of miserable, stupid, mean idiots who are bad with money why are you SOO concerned with keeping it part of the UK? Kind of a strange position to hold.But then the fact you call yourself a Liberal also is bipolar.

[Cybopath]

@TheLiberalKnight

Could have sworn I already said I was well aware that Scots where a part of the Empire and Slave trade and that I was ashamned of that fact and not proud like you. Doesn't really change the fact that the Empire was an Anglo-Themed one ran from London. Stage one was to anglicize the nations that surrounded you then the world.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@Cybopath Again, you refer to the British Empire as an English phenominal. Did you know that Scotland sent 40% more men to the colonies than England did? Did you know that Australia is made up 20% of Scottish colonists? 15% In Canada. Ireland especially, the Scottish aristocrats and landlords did far worse than England and in greater numbers.

There is nothing more hilarious than a Scot accusing an Englishman of imperialism and colonialism.

[Cybopath]

@TheLiberalKnight

It's far easier for you to find yourself British as English and British is the exact same identity not like the duel ones Scots and Welsh must carry. I'm well aware Scots tried an empire and where part of the slave trade, the difference is I'm ashamed of that while you glote like Alf Garnett. Keep dreaming that you're going to hang on to that last prisoners of your dying empire. India, Hong Kong, Jamacia, Australia, Ireland said toodle pip too, must be soo painfull for you.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@Cybopath Lol, it's OUR empire, Scottish boy. It was the British empire, not the English empire. No matter how hard you try to pretend otherwise, Scottish people were equally as responsible as the English for the empire. They say for instance that Burma was a Scottish colony. Keep dreaming, pretending that poor Scotland is oppressed by England... lol!

[Cybopath]

@TheLiberalKnight

Here's the thing you can't get through your thick skull, Invading and taking other peoples land is essentually wrong and the fact you just refered to Africans as 'blacks' pretty much sums up the butcher's apron loving Al Murray sterotype that you are. Shame your lil' empire crumbled, shame it's gonna get a bit smaller. Need to find some other penis extention in future son.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@Cybopath I didn't think you could top your last comment! LOL!

The Union of South Africa was a free democracy, in which anyone could vote if they owned property, including blacks and boers. Only foreign policy was controlled by London.

Compare that to Vichy France, an authoritarian regime which was unelected.

Oh please, so many people hate immigration, the policy cannot be continued for much longer.
