Scotland the crap

So you would not say that the magnetron was invented by H.E. Hollmann?

Invented? The guy had his revolver fall apart and thought, ah there's what I need! I'm not questioning the invention on the magnetron, just the RADAR, Radio detection and Ranging I'm afraid was first done by a Scot.

[Troll]

He devloped a technology which LED to the development of RADAR,...

I thought we were saying who invented the magnetron

Another ill informed arguement from an ignorant. The thought, perpetuated by the English is that billions goes up to Scotland and nothing comes back down. Actually, England sends approx £8billion up to Scotland every year, but Scotland sends approx £13Billion down in commodites such as oil and gas etc.

So, we would indeed be better off.....

Whether this is true or not it is irrelevant. Scotland is a nation that is addicted to public sector work, where entrepreneurs are few and business rarely exists except that which serves the oil industry. If all oil revenues were used for scotland all that would happen is tha the proceeds would effectively be spent on getting more scots drunk and out of work.

The kindest thing to do to the scots is strip away all benefits

Aye suppose your right. Only failed workers that serve the oil industry end up serving the recruitment industry.

And the kindest ting for the English? Genocide?

There are more companies now setting up in Scotland due to the benefits they get, whereas in England it is too expensive.

Scotland already puts more into it's education etc than England does.

And the remark about Scots and drunk, well, what can one expect from a nation that is quickly becoming the most unpopular in the world...
