Mrdonut, I doubt you even know why Scotland is part of the UK? Hardly anyone does because they're ignorant 's."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Christ is was just on the Jeremy Vine show people complaining about all the Big Issue sellers who are now Romanians also claiming benefits and sending the the money back home.
A country should never lose it's identity nor have it's identity modified to suite immigrants.
The problem with immigration crimes is terrible. Look at polish truck drivers, they can come over here, illegally go way over their driving hours, kill someone and then go home and escape the courts.
I would like England to be how it was. Now I realise that the day of white picket fences and maypoles has gone, but does it all need to go? We should hang on and cherish what makes us unique. Foreigners annoy me. Ive looked a lot at emigrating and when I visit other countries, or even consider living there, I try my best to speak their language, I acknowledge their customs and manners. That is the way it should be. Unlike foreigners who come in to this country, demand their own laws, even take away my sodding bacon from KFC because it isnt halal !Comment

Originally posted by wim121 View PostMrdonut, I doubt you even know why Scotland is part of the UK?Anyway, Scotland gave up it's independence willingly and came running to the UK, cap in hand, begging for money because they were bankrupt from their own stupidity. We bailed you out when we could have let you all starve to death.

Originally posted by wim121 View PostIn modern times, scots feel they are exempt from every other citizen in the UK and feel they should receive special treatment. Who the hell do you think you are, to demand free prescriptions when everyone else in the UK doesnt get them, to get much more money spent on children than every other child in the rest of the kingdom, to come and sit in our parliament yet whine and not allow us to come and sit in yours?
Originally posted by wim121 View PostWhere is the equality there? You're all pathetic little grubby leeches. In fact, although leeches suck you dry just like scots, the discomfort is far less annoying than having to listen to the claptrap coming out of a scots mouth.
You're all pathetic and the SNP approach of alienating the english from the scots is working thankfully. Now maybe the english will wake up a bit. I'd be more than happy for you bunch of freeloaders to be wiped out. Stop scrounging off my country and my fellow tax payers you grubby little freeloaders. Feel free to meet me at hadrians wall and we'll brick it back up.
However in reality that wont happen. You lot will just want your own rules and taxation, while still receiving support off the UK because you're too tired and pathetic to support yourselves. Grow up!
According to a civil service minute of their conversation, seen by this newspaper, Mr Cameron agreed it was for the Scottish Parliament to proceed with the referendum legislation and promised not to obstruct this.
However, there was no mention over the timing and wording of the vote.....
Michael Moore, the Liberal Democrat Scottish Secretary, adopted a more conciliatory tone by saying he would not interfere with the timing. But he said a second referendum after the independence negotiations have been concluded would be necessary to make them legally binding.
You see Wim, all we want to do is determine our own future rather than be dictated to by a government that is only interested in the South East of the country. Disagree? It's all there in black and white, the UK spend more on those 'London leeches' than any other region in the UK.
On this analysis, Scottish people do receive a public spending premium over all other UK citizens save those living in London. However, within England there is wide variations in per capita spending between different regions.
We leave and take our revenue income and you can get on without 'subsidising' the leeches as you put it. I know who my money is on to be better off in the long term future Troll, oops sorry I mean Wim.
An analysis published on January 4th by Financial Times Research showed that Scotland is the "most prosperous" part of the UK outside London and the South East of England, in terms of the 12 nations and regions of the UK. Scotland's economic output is 99 per cent of the UK average. The highest is London at 171 per cent, and the lowest is Wales at 74 per cent. (Gross Value Added per head of population in 2010.)
With the exception of London, Scotland is the only nation or region in the UK to show an increase in economic output between 2007 and 2010, recording growth of 1.9 per cent.
Taking all Scottish revenues and spending into account – including financial sector interventions – the official Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland statistics show Scotland has run a current budget surplus in four of the five years to 2009/10, while the UK was in current budget deficit in each of these years, and hasn't run a current budget surplus since 2001/02.......
An independent Scotland with access to all our nation's resources will be the sixth most prosperous nation in the OECD league table – compared with the UK's number 16 placing.."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith
