They got a legit beef as well. Scotland has far more legit reasons to quit the UK than England does to quit the EU. And let's face it any leave vote is going to be an English one - I rather doubt the margin will be fine enough to hang on any of the junior members of the UK.

You expect more bribes from the EU than the English ?

Albania are quite hard.

What about Belgium?

It's a tulip hole, didn't Colin Farrell teach you anything

And? Things change - it's not like the Union was formed through mutual agreement like the EU was.

Pretty much identical cases. Both unions formed through "democratic" processes with fudged agreements, bribery, a lot of misinformation, and large segments of the population rather disgruntled.

Like almost every other political agreement in history.

And yet Scotland decided to stay. Always easier to bash the English bogeyman than examine problems closer to home. Oddly when you quiz such types you'll find their real world experience of England is either zero, or totally at odds with views which have been indoctrinated at childhood.

But EU money is keeping the UK afloat. You'd sink without us expats feeding you money.

Just like Scotland will sink without England's money ... ?

The UK pays huge amounts to be a member of the EU. I don't recall SCotland has to pay a membership fee to remain in the UK...

You have the air of some Irish republicans I know well.

Nope. Total bona fide.

Ditto, ain't no internet acting going on here. Had I not an actual issue I wouldn't have started posting on this board. Now I'm here mainly for the LOLs.

Albania is the enemy of all things English! To war, to war!

We'll have to find someone who is quite close to hand and not too hard.

Let us propose that we have another war

In the name of unity ...
