Nice article. It is amazing how close it does resemble the middle east's situation. The article forgot to mention the number one reason why we do need to step in though. They have oil up there. That pretty much guarantees the US will invade.

We kind of still have the "Kingdom of Ireland" with the northern bit.
Er that guy is a bit shit. I've seen a few like that linked here, didn't make it in the UK so went to another country to use being foriegn as a personality booster.

My assumption is that if you have any talent at all, you'll inevitably be a hit in the place you were born first before moving on if you desire more fame/money. There is a top tier of British Comedians/Actors who did this (and they often come back and do things in both places). If you are only a hit after moving on, it's because you fell just short of entertaining people and being foreign is now pushing you over the line. That guy isn't impressive to me at all (he isn't Scottish by the way Chanur if that is what you meant).
Er, we have the best comedy in the world. A fucking German can't really have an opinion on this, sorry.

This is making a whole lot of assumptions about a whole lot of people.
So is Scotland free yet? When will those results be in?

So a few decades of campaigning by a political party which got eventually got elected in the relevant territory, then a referendum agreed by both sides with a few years of campaigning, followed by the final round of campaigning and vote. All peaceful.
vs
An army rolls into the territory with their regiment badges torn off, takes everything over ejecting the government with threats of violence, then holds a vote a week later while still occupying the place.
Not quite the same thing? Confirmed troll.

Pretty much the definition of splicing hairs.
Is it a Scottish Army and Scottish Police Department supervising those elections?
As one great document once stated:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
