If we get rid of Scotland

[Unix]

Blair is Scottish and RBS is and was Scottish run by a Scot from Scotland. the fact that most of their business was in the UK is irrelevant. It was the Scots that took us to an "illegal war" and it was the Scots that made the economy go bust. As Scots made up a disproportionate number of the cabinet during the years of Blair government then It is fair to conclude they were acting in the interests of Scotland.

Thatcher would have been all over the middle east, wit ye takin aboot?

Blair is Scottish.

I think it's a bit of a stretch (to put it mildly) to suggest that - IIRC the Conservative Frontbench at the time were all in favour of it as well and there weren't many Scots in that mob. Robin Cook (a Scot) resigned from the Front Bench over it. Let's not get all revisionist about this DA - even though I suspect you are just trying to be "controversial".

So, facts are irrelevant in your arguments. LMFAO

Technically, doubt it influenced any decision he made though.

Lots of publicly school educated Scots don't have Scottish accents.

I was p*ssed when I went to university to discover the only people who had some form of regional accent were educated in the state school system. Public schools purposely educate the accent out of people.

That is as maybe but when the Scots start whining about wanting to get away from a Westminster government that took them into an "illegal war" I simply wish to point out that it was the Scottish influence that led this.
