This bickering is all part of post colonlial decline
In 100 years the UK will be a weak fragmented backwater with only a dim memory of its brutal, cruel, spurious empirial past.
Then within england you will have fragmentation---the muslim areas, the hindu areas, the polish sector etc
and within scotland you will have fragmentation---the glasgo dogs at the throat of the edinburough wolves---the catholic versus the prods--oh wait i do believe that is already the case
in any case it will worsen-
from across the channel--the lovely french, the happy Spaniards the serious but effective Germans and the morbidly obese Belgians wont even hate you anymore.
wuf wuf if that a wolf --or no ---its a poodle--how quaint
Nope, we have a very strange situation here, in that Scotland is funded pretty much by English money, foreignerss like to bring up the subject of scottish independence like England are their tyranical rulers, when in fact, there isnt a single englishman or woman in the Scottish parliment....all the leaders of the English parliment are Scots though....
So, I ask, who REALLY being ruled over?
Scotland rules England, despite Scotland having only a tenth England's population.
The Prime Minister Tony Blair is Scottish. The Government's No2 - Chancellor of the Exchequer (and soon-to-be-PM) Gordon Brown - is Scottish. The Home Secretary, Defence Secretary and Transport Secretary are Scottish. The Lord Chancellor Lord Falconer is Scottish. The majority of the British Cabinet is Scottish.
Scottish MPs have a say in all England's domestic matters, whereas there are certain Scottish domestic matters that English MPs have no say in.
Therefore, Scotland rules England.
