Ireland did it and during the 90s they became one of the richest countries in europe before it came crashing down because of bankers and corrupt politcians but scotland you can do it.

@paulovin No every country has it's good and bad - but for the most part the crown of england has been nothing but a tyrant, murders and thieves - 19th century drug dealers, cruel and unusual persecutors of innocent, evil land barons, rapists, dogs of the worst sort. But in generaly for a few hundered years they were just better at all that sort of suff than the rest of the world. All countires have their shame - it takes an honest person to say ya we have had a dark history.

@lizzarddawg in what respect did England force this term? There were no armies involved. Scotland choose to enter the Union and can choose to leave it. Many of our ancestors to whom you refer fought and died under the Union Jack and would have been proud to call themselves British. Scotland is a proud nation which has always been in control of its own destiny - 'their subjects of the north' comment is demonstrable evidence that you don't understand our history as part of the UK

The United Kingdom sounds cool, but the truth of it is that England forced this term upon their subjects of the North - Scotland it is your day, the day for all your ansestors to take a long needed sigh of relief
