Another example of how England is screwing over Scotland. Scottish units are forced to live in England because those Scottish units can't have their Barracks HQ in Scotland.... Gee, I wonder how soldiers who are forced to relocate away from home would vote.
The RBS also happens to be one of the big gambling banks which burned billions in the financial fallout of 2007. London currently owns 84% of the RBS, so this is not really a surprise they'd speak against the Independence.
No, it's true because the people I know personally said that's the case. As much as I dislike using the Mail as a source, their core facts (or at least the headline) in this case are correct.
I just find it odd that Scottish units even with "Scot" in their names would be based in London or Tidworth.
That is what happens when another country controls your destiny. Germany should know all about that.
Most of those units would of been created and named decades or even hundreds of years ago. Bases have been created and/or moved in that time, or the military might need to locate those units elsewhere. There are bases in Scotland, but they will not be full of Scottish people only because we have a British military, not English and Scottish militaries.
But the UK is not another country, the UK is the country which Scotland is part of.
Yes, Football hooligans. To be fair, they infest the entire country. Every city has a white trash area, this includes the scottish ones and the northern/southern english ones. I don't know WTF Jait is talking about.
They make ALOT of trade laws.
Germany and UK both have currencies which they control and are doing well, so we are both correct. The problem is all the shitty countries sharing Germany's currency or having no control over it, which you all saw on the news with the crisises a year or two ago.
Scotland has a hundred or so miles of wilderness between it's heartland (Edinburgh/Glasgow) and the heart of the north of England (Manchester/Liverpool/Leeds/Sheffield). Wales is quite closly linked to England with them giving stupid Welsh names to the English border towns. I lived in Bristol for a few years which is within commute distance of Cardiff and if you want to drive from south Wales to north Wales, it's faster to drive through England and go around all the mountains. Half of all Welsh people I meet sound English, you just have the hardcore sheep fuckers in the mountain valleys pretneding to speak welsh, ruining road signs and soaking up welfare.
David Coulthard, ex F1 driver, was thought of as being Scottish when he was losing, and British when he was winning.
I think that is just an urban legend. English people generally support Scottish teams/atheletes, the sterotype is the Scottish not supporting English teams.
This only happened because of the civil war in america, it was a lot more common to have a perception to think of yourself as citizens of states first and federal second. around then we changed from "these united states', to "the united states", this is a fundamental problem with the eu as constructed in general, they think of themselves as independent states.
Well in their defense it is hard for all these countries to shift from individual nationalism when you have a thousand plus year history waging war with your neighbors.
