aw, bless, they're so cute.
If the majority of scots want free....then attack! If not.... shoot this traitor!
I really don't see the point in the minority of Scots who want independence. After all, wouldn't Scotland be worse off if it was independent? All the faffing around at the border and that stuff. Plus, we have enough small countries with no real power in Europe anyway, we don't need Scotland adding to it.
A Scottish Independence campaign might start, but it would never succeed.
Ah just give it to them, or the world will think you value a country where men wear dresses.

We are free. And the majority do not want the separate from the Union...Quote:

We could conscript Scots into the Army and take over the British isles, and thence the rest of the World in a mighty Scottish Empire!
Scots run government right now, don't they? Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are both scottish, I think.
That link to the report is sad and funny at the same time. :inquisitive:
If they actually punish that kid harshely... i then hate the brittain.. lol
You realise he tried to burn the building down? Fire-raising is a illegal and deadly, you know, everywhere...Quote:

Scotish Independance is a backwards idea anyway.
It was a Scotish King that took the English throne in the end! The Scots won, the fact that we're all ruled by Germans now is neither here nor there.
You could say they are terrorists ?
Lets send them to the US to be dealt with
One could say the boy committed Treason...
Trainspotting had no pro-Scottish sentiment at all.Quote:

How did Scotland manage that? London sending loads of money?Quote:
The Scottish employment rate of 75.3 per cent remains above that of the UK and almost all other countries in the European Union.

Yes, that rant was what I was referring to.Quote:

I can see why you'd do it though, at his age. I imagine playing the 'dangerous revolutionary' card would get you laid at least once, even if she did wear clothes made out of soy.

He's just lucky he didn't set fire to a shipyard, thats one of only two crimes that still carries the mandatory death penalty.
Sadly the Human Rights Act got rid of that.~:mecry:Quote:

Saxe-Coberg-Gotha, the Queens real surname. :balloon2:

Actually the Queen's real surname is Mountbatton, but she got all new-agey on Philip.
Regardless they're all Germans.

I'd be shocked if they did, even if somebody started a fire in a dockyard/indulged in piracy were the old laws still in place. However, I don't think they are even technically allowed to consider it anymore.Quote:

Battenburg, Philip's name was Battenburg but was changed to Mountbatten.Quote:

Louis Alexander Mountbatten, 1st Marquess of Milford Haven changed the family surname from Battenberg to Mountbatten in 1917 to distance himself from the enemy. Obviously this was before Philip was born, but his family surname was Battenberg.Quote:

I like battenburg, especially the marzipan. With a cup of tea of course.
