@LfcGoddardENGCJG independence means a weaker england yes your correct , also those three nations will still be united ,i dont think so , basically if scotland becomes independent it means theres no turning back for scotland , and in the furture wales and northern ireland will go down the same path , i say good ,so be it , this will rekindle english nationalism ...

[LfcGoddardENGCJG]

Independence means a weaker England, A weaker Wales, A weaker N Ireland or does it? those three nations will still be united. But what is for sure is a weaker Scotland. Scotland will be a member of the EU and known as the little nation out in the corner that has bad weather and NO say at all in Europe. Alex Salmond is weak he wont be able to stand up for Scotland, well its not like he cares he just wants to but his name in the history books.

Sorry 'freedom- (from what tyranny exactly?) -seeking' Scots, but I just can't get excited about national pride, tribalism, racism or any other -isms that divide us. We're are all one family, one genus, fortunate to inhabit a beautiful, rare planet of a small solar system within an immense universe. Get to grips with some real issues, guys, encourage more inter-tribal marriage and a more free-thinking society, Real perpective on this 'local' squabble? Search 'Planets And Stars On Size Scale'.

Iquite like the Red arrows, Royal Marines, RAF, Royal Navy and other British institutions.I don't want to have to call English Welsh and people from N Ireland Foreign.

And most scots don't even want independence, ahh, what a world...

[EqualityScotland]

I think people need to realize that Independence is not all about waving flags and crying for Wallace, but its far more about moving into the 21st century and giving the Scottish people the power to decide what happens in Scotland.

I think you guys would be shocked at how many scots dont want to break up the union.

[LuckyB1990]

I'm on your side. Long live free Scotland! From Quebec.

Free Scotland!! Greetings from Lombardy. Lombardy IS NOT Italy!!

If the scots do get a referendum they better win because they could never live down the shame and embaressment and they will forever be seen as full of hot air and will not be taken seriously.

And they will be abused by the british government and they wont have the trump card of threatening to leave the union anymore which currently gives them more power than they would normally have.

So you scots damn well better vote for independance cos your life will be much worse if you don't.
