A History Of Scotland - S02E05 - Project Scotland - Part 6/6

BBC Scotland Documentary - As a partner in the British Empire, Scotland began the 20th century with an advanced economy and a world-beating heavy industry. But in the closing decades its sense of Britishness was in doubt and a Scottish Parliament sat in Edinburgh for the first time since 1707. Charting Scotland's darkest century, Neil Oliver discovers a country driven to self-determination through a series of economic crises so deep that her most striking export became her own disillusioned population.

Scotland will be independent in the next referendum

Because programs like this tell scots why we should not be associated with the union

And that Scotland will be a greater country

[grahampurdie]

and have you any comment on the undemocratic desicion on making Scotland part of the union? You may care to answer the same question on behalf of the Welsh. Your not pro british you twat your simply an arrogant Englishman who feels more superior than us,thats exactly the union you want. Let me remind you that it's only a fantasy you have. The episode has explained a few truths that irritate you so go pull yourself off into a coma.

Charming?

Watched the hole series, loved it. Im not from that part of the world so I didnt watch from any particular point of view but I can say that, all Scots should be very proud of where they come from and where they are going.What a strong, proud people. What beautiful part of the world.

@povar1981 If you believe it is to save money you are laughably wrong. The future of the NHS in England is that within 10 years NHS chiefs in England will be making several million pounds a year to rival their friends in Banking. How does that save money? It will be money (from mainly, Scotland's Oil Revenue if Independence doesn't happen) being transferred from the state purse to private (individual) profit. How many millions an NHS chief makes in future depends on the result in 2014. Vote Yes!

@pggtips NHS is a healthcare system? Why is it being destroyed?

[povar1981]

@mcallistermd that's where you're wrong!

@Katcrazy7 Why couldn't hear every word, you mean because of the skippings?

Scotland reminds me of my beloved West Virginia. The beauty of the land and the poverty of the people. Although West Virginia is part of the US, we have always been treated as the red headed step child of the nation. Our coal made rich men even richer, while making widows and orphans out of our people. Our mountain people learned to live off of the land, just as the Highlanders of Scotland but that is probably because we are the same, most of the mountain people are Scots, immigrants
