  • The Great Scottish FREEEEEEEEEDOOOMMMMM!!!!1!!! vote

    8 days to go until polling day. Latest polls suggest it's too close to call, and the momentum is with the pro-independence brigade. American voters can probably hear a loud ripping sound right now, and it's the sound of David Cameron filling his bespoke Savile Row underwear in terror at the prospect of going down in history as the man who broke Britain.

    It's all remarkably good fun. I recommend it highly.

    For the purpose of accuracy the thread title should be "The Great Scottish FREEEEEEEEEDOOOMMMMM!!!!1!!! (but retaining the Bank of England as the lender of last resort in case we spunk all the cash away again) vote", but that's too long.

        It will be very interesting what will happen to the name "Great Britain" and the Union Jack, if the scots really secede

        The name "Great Britain" was created when Scots and British united 8ans somehow isn´t valid anymore, if half of the british island isn´t part of the country anymore
        And the union jack was created after the treaty (between scotts ent brits) as the british georgs cross atop the scottish andrews cross, to symbolize the scottish / british union. Somehow unfitting to continue using it after a scotish secession.

        Interesting development for an empire that once ruled 25% of earths land mass ... one might wonder if ireland will be next

          I see they're keeping the monarchy too. And it would all get pretty ironic if Celtic finally takes the plunge and joins the English PL.

            The french have already begun to make fun of it saying with a smirk on their face that Scotland prefers to do things more in a french way than in an english way.
            Seeing though as the difference in the polls is marginal and that the whole political establishment of the UK is head over heels to avert a yes vote, Scotland will probably remain in the UK.

            Barosso also said that Scotland would have to go through EU joining procedures again (don't want to give those pesky catalans (or flemish ) any ideas.

              If they wouldn´t keep Lizzy as queen, a german would have the most rights to the scottish crown
              After 1807, the Jacobite claims passed first to the House of Savoy (1807–1840), then to the Modenese branch of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine (1840–1919), and finally to the House of Wittelsbach (since 1919). The current heir is Franz, Duke of Bavaria. Neither he nor any of his predecessors since 1807 have pursued their claim.


              Either him, or the house of Hannover, to which all rights of the house of Stuart passed, when the last scottish queen died without heirs.
              Died issueless, rights pass to House of Hanover.


              The current ruler to the House of hannover, Prince Ernst August, is in germany well known for public peeing at the turkish Expo booth at the Expo 2000 in Hannover. He is also well known for using his umbrella in order to beat Paparazzi.

              One has to admit that for Ernst August the position as ruler of Scotland would be perfect ... after all he would then wear a Kilt, which greatly facilitates public peeing

                I seem to recall that Ireland actually became an independent nation about 90 years ago.

                    If the next opinion poll shows the SNP leading, I predict that David Cameron will be offering a bottle of Buckfast and a rimjob from George Osborne to every resident of Scotland as an incentive to retain the union.

                        One has to admit though that a kilt clad peeing all over prince is probably the best incentive for scottish independence. I'm not sure northern ireland could match that.

                            One of my writing buddies has some measure of Scottish ancestry and is strongly in favor of Scottish independence. She's got nice tits, so I support it, too.
