Scotland independence

[sd0324]

when salmon rushdie wrote satanic rites, I thought -that's it, he is going to upset a lot of muslims. but then, he goes on to write his next book- Buddha ye wee fat bastard. I wonder how long it is till alec salmond writes his book-once upon a time./badger

Wow, a wise man once told me,..."Step away from the hash pipe, Brother"

Have been following this discussions with interest, and with a certain sadness. I will be deeply upset when Scotland votes 'yes' to independence, and it most certainly will. It is going to happen, that is for sure judging by what I have seen on the news of late. Well, that's democracy for you, and if you truly believe in the democratic rights of nations then that is what you must accept.

I have many friends of Scottish decent who live down here in Kent who are ex army and are against a spit, but presumably will not be able to vote as they no longer live in Scotland. One guy is a retired Scots Guardsman and is concerned that the Scots Guards will be disbanded, along will all the other Scottish regiments, and be replaced with a paramilitary border force. History does not stand still, I know that, and you don't hear of Italians saying 'once upon a time ther was a Roman legion of Hispanic soldiers and it's a shame were not mates with the Spanish anymore, but they wanted to go their own way, and there was no Roman empire anymore...

Their is no reason for Scotland to be part of the United Kingdom any more, and some of my artist friends in Glasgow are decidedly excited about the creation of a new nation. Why would you not be excited? It is not often in someones lifetime that they feel part of a new and exciting movement, I would feel this way also.

Well done Scotland and bon voyage in you new found independence!

On a side note, don't start doing what I'm watching on the news at the moment. I do not understand what is happening in the Crimea at the moment, but unless the stupid, ego driven arseholes stop sabre rattlin' we face armagedon in a matter of weeks. The more we split the more we fight.

Trust me it won't happen,we're not that stupid!!!!

And they think they can be trusted with Independence?

That lot aren't really Scotsmen as their affiliation belongs in another country.

It would indeed be an awful shame to get any dirt on such a, well,...um,...nicely striped, go get 'um kinda uniform.
And don't the chaps appear to be rather thrilled to be in something that says it's not important who wins but how you play the game and ofcourse above all who looks nice.

I am not going to do any more comments on independence, I am going to concentrate on modelling and be happy that I am in the planet figure club, with fellow modellers of all persuasions and ideals. I am happy to be an international type person.?/badger

Most defiantly!! thats not a spelling mistake Roger

We have got the worst football team in Scottish history and now a strip to match it

 

[billyturnip]

The Curling teams did okay though Ron.

 

[Tarracus]

Makes me think of some stripes of ketchup & mustard on a slice of bread. Those guys of the Adidas creative dept. should be court martialized

 

[billyturnip]

This could prove to be the lucky Scotland strip..... well maybe against Gibraltar.

Maybe the Blind School Rog... Who clearly designed it

i think they should wear deep sea diving suits with heavy lead boots and heavy brass helmets , so that when they get beat they have an excuse. or better still they would maybe have a better chance of winning/badger

This thread is really interesting - dont seems politic discussion really.
I thought this was some kind of joke, but today when I reading an article in a PT magazine about it and although nothing has to do with the subject I would like to leave my opinion here. Hopefully some of the Scots and English friends who are upset with me do not take this into wrong way?!
Well, I think the division after so many years will not be good for anyone, divisions create another type of situations that can trigger some threats in the region as previously written here and everyone knows what happened to the Republic of Ireland in recent years...
I think Scotland should remain loyal to the crown, imo would gain more benefits for his people, separatism should be avoided, will not be good for the future of your kingdom as we know the world today.
Scotland continues to have separate state and jurisdiction for purposes of international law. The right and the Scottish education system, as well as the Church of Scotland, have allowed the continuation of Scottish culture and national identity since the Union in 1707.
This dissolution will benefit the usual suspects.
Think about that!
I hope that makes sense, sometimes i´m lost in translation.

Cheers and all the best!!!

hi pedro, I agree with you, with the world being so unstable at the moment , it would be wrong to split the country,both financially and for security, we should pull together to maintain the united kingdom and the freedom and choice that we hold so dearly./badger

In Scotland we're no strangers to hideous football strips as thes examples from Scotlands two biggest clubs show.

Nothing wrong to me with the Rangers one... but when did Celtic used such an abomination?!!
