Does anyone remember the Conservative Party?

[TestMangler]

Its very odd as without Scotland Labour would not stand a chance of holding government.

That is correct Brillo, so, why is Cameron (and the Tory Party in general) so strongly behind the No Campaign ??

It was a question, ya twat

There is so much 'let the sponging jocks go and fail on their own' rhetoric on this board, I was genuinely asking why the party who most of you English contractors vote for are so against it.

I like the last one.

You thought that was good, try this:

I based my vote last time on whop sounded the most like a bond villain. DR Tool.

Alas he was a LIb DEm. That was a wasted vote.

As they're currently in charge of the UK as-is - it's one of the few occasions where the status quo trumps what's best for the party, I'd imagine!

The point being that the Tories are instrumental in the running of the NO campaign. Why do you think that might be ?

Oh I'm well aware of that but that wasn't what the person I quoted was getting at; I'm not familiar with many Tories saying "let em go". I wish more Tories weren't so anti-independence. It's understandable on the part of the governing elite, but they're notoriously out of touch with many of their own party's members.

you know we are only teasing don't you?

Probably they see it as a step that isn't all that wise in the middle of a recovery (my opinion) or Cameron doesn't want to be known as the man who lost Scotland.

How did she 'destroy' it?

Nor do I particularly care much for the artificial entity of Britain. If the Scots want out, England is the better off for letting them do it.

Maggie upset them with the Poll tax which they have never forgiven her for. Whilst many Tories still love this TAX, they forget on purpose, it was the most unpopular tax in history (from the anti-tax party) and caused riots even in England. Some Tories even blame this on Scottish tories. As if somehow they made Maggie, the Lady not for Turning do it. As we know this sowed the seeds of the escalation of the Indi movement which at that stage was more like the Cornish Indi non-entity.

At the height of Maggies powers it was also claimed she saved Britain the Sick Man of Europe. Due to all those evil Unions. But if we lose the Scots, who is next? The Welsh (real saxons), The Cornish? Maggie did not save Britain if she ends up being so divisive that it splits up.
That's the point none can say she saved it, if it no longer exists due to her upsetting any part of it enough to leave.

I also note that you have selective patriotism. I am British and wish to remain so, if that is part of the UK then all the better. Also many foreigners rich or poor value Britishness even if you don't. If that is your view, please leave the country and go and live in Malaga with the other little Englanders.
