The people of Scotland have a lot to thank our friends of Orange descent, it was there king William 3rd of england & ireland or william 2nd of scotland that caused the start of the Union in 1707, it was his decision along with the dutch and english navy that blocked any help being offered to the people of the Darien project in panama in the late 1690's that helped to bankrupt Scotland and hence forced the Union.

It is amazing that over 300 years later we still tolerate these people and allow them to march and blockade the streets of Scotland and basically help to vote to keep the union.

Let them march through Aberdeen & Edinburgh on a regular basis and then the No voters of those 2 cities can thank them for there presence in Scottish history.

Scotland was not bankrupt in 1707, it's another myth. Scotland had no National deb. The money England gave to Scotland as a bribe was to compensate Scotland for taking on a share on England's debt when we joined the Union.

Did they just raid the cupboard under the sink? That looks like a plunger he's throwing about.

I didn't realise he was throwing plunger about. I thought that was part of the sandwich bar but I wasn't sure what it was or why it was there. I thought he was just pretending to play an imaginary flute.

Was it not always, thus?

Bought and sold for English gelt.

Here in the NW of England many are as disappomted as us.

No' cos they dinnae like us - but they saw a free Scotland as a conduit for mair power to Northern England.

And I agree!
