Brave Scotland - as the Scottish prepare for their independence the make-up of Britain could shift

He's not switched on enough CJ the lights are dimmed(permanently)

"it was the forced political "union" of England and Scotland that began the centuries of rape and pillage on that island" fixed that for you, Dano - see Culloden, the Highland clearances, etc.

The english raped and pillaged Scotland with the help of the Lairds payed them off with wagon loads of money to secure the act of union. Dano you have no concept of the history of these islands. The act of union in Ireland saw the demise of the linen mills and they wre removed to England,Ireland had a commercial trading fleet of about 300 ships which also disappeared and the they gave us starvation. So little for your history acumen and so much for your ignorance.

The armchair republican brigade like to claim that a united Ireland makes perfect sense in every way…and also that disuniting the neighbouring island also makes perfect sense in every way…can both of these propositions possibly be true, and if so, how??

Very true, seanomelb - including the bloated London government and bureacracy.

Seano indulging in his usual inaccurate hyperbole…it was the successful political union of England and Scotland that ended the centuries of rape and pillage on that island…compare and contrast the record there, and in mainland Europe, over the last 250 years…

"It's wealthier than the other home nations" how true Tory Tory england has raped and pillaged the "other home nations" forcing them into a kind of servitude living on handouts whilst the profits go to London.

"The smart money would have been on the Irish to have the first opportunity but it has, indeed, fallen to the Scots." Niall, most Irish people do not reside in the UK - you seem to forget that most of us live in the Republic of Ireland. You mean NORTHERN Ireland, where support for a united Ireland has being dropping for years.

The videos speak for themselves whereas your "stats" are a contrived fraud.

Curtis, you're talking utter bull - I've already provided the relevant stats, so why do you keep repeating verbatim your utter BS points?

Ancavker - it doesn't matter, I provided a percentage. Evidently there would be an economy because at the moment it's tilted only as 26% of the economy; the fact of the matter is that the whole of the UK economy - being about 48& - is geared towards the public sector. It's a problem endemic to the whole of the UK, not just NI. England also subsidises Wales & Scotland - big deal, it's wealthier than the other Home Nations. And as for 'evidence' - spare me your anecdotes, I'm not interested.

No problem - glad you enjoyed it. The truth hopefully overshadows all the brit propaganda.

What a sad and embittered little life Curtis must lead…endlessly trawling the internet for affirmation of his poison and prejudices…ever heard of the phrase ‘get a life’?

It was an interesting video Curtisjohnson thanks for the heads up
