So If Scotland Says Yes, Will Be There A Referendum As To The Queen Of Scotland?

[DTCwordfan]

Saw the Daily Wail today and this featured.

1. Does QE2 become QE2 of Scotland?
2. Does Scotland become a Republic within the Commonwealth of which she is the Queen Bee?
3. Does Scotland invite the Pretender to the throne, coming down the Stuart lineage, ending up with the Duke of Bavaria, one King Francis 2.

Are some of the Scots being hoodwinked by the Scottish Nazi Party as Salmond et al, well a lot of them, are Republicans and want no monarch, as they want no nuclear capability and also out of NATO as it's highly unlikely that they will commit to the 2% of GNP to be spent on NATO defence pre-requisite, given all the rest that theyy have to pay for, not withstanding £1.2 trillion of debt?

We can play Hard Ball and ignore them but that would only make them even more bitter and twisted then they are already !

[Obiter]

"but that would only make them even more bitter and twiste!d then they are already !"

Be careful! That could be said about the natives of your homeland.

There is no significant movement for independence on my side of the Severn Bridge, and there never has been. A few Gogs up north may say different but they would be wrong.

The Scots should remember that when they leave us, they leave the EU as well, and lose all that lovely development money, that we in Wales have enjoyed as well, for so long.

Obiter is correct in that Referendums are not legally binding. ( worth considering by those who assume the Business Party would exit the EU on the whim of its underlings.)

[Obiter]

Gogs? Now there's a racist term if ever I heard one.

[Obiter]

For the benefit of of those who do not understand Welsh (and I am not Welsh}, Gog derives from the Welsh word Gogledd, meaning North. The equivalent insult to a person from South Wales is "hwntw"

If the Shetlands vote No will they be allowed to join Norway?

[DTCwordfan]

or stay in what remains of the FUK, crafty, Former United Kingdom.....

So if Dave held a stay in / leave EU referendum and the majority voted to leave it would mean nothing then.

mikey. '' more bitter and twisted ' who ?

I can see Judy Murray positioning herself on 'Strictly' putting herself and her lineage in a position where she could become the Queen of Scotland.

The Yes vote will put the UK back to 2008. A No vote will see nothing resolved. The Salmond mouth-crafted knee-jerk hatred of the global realism of the Conservatives will never resonate with the emotional politics of the Scots.

I just wish this referendum was taking place say 10 or 20 years from now when the UK had recovered from the worst economic crisis to have hit us.
Now, as today has proved, it is too early to allow regions of our interdependency to indulge their romantic dreams of 'freedom' (whatever that realistically is).

[Obiter]

At the general election in 1959 50% of the MPs returned from Scotland represented the Conservative and Unionist party. What has happened since?

[Colmc54]

I call it 'Braveheart syndrome'. It's a form of hypnosis and the hypnotist is of course Alex Salmond.

The carefully cultivated anti-English racism was conflated with the equally elegantly incitement of hatred of the Conservatives, always called 'Tories' of course by the hypnotist.

He thinks he has found a winning formula, the right level at which he can speak to his minions.

I truly hope the electorate of Scotland can see through his deceitful anti-English rhetoric and stay part of the family.

If not we'll all go down together, as Mondays performance of the FTSE and the £ suggests.

On a lighter note, as one who will never buy anything from North of the border again if they vote yes, can I offer you a dram,

The best whisky I have ever enjoyed did not come from Scotland.

If its a yes, I hope the male Royals, Philip, Charles etc, stop wearing KILTS, they look ridiculous!

[Colmc54]

You all do- when it's some kind of political statement and not clothes you would normally wear on the same day.

We can envisage a time when, if you aren't wearing your kilt when you go into work, a kilted non-sasenach might decide you are traitor.

OK I was born in Scotland but I can't vote No because I live in the wrong part of the UK.

/// I do not wish to be pedantic, as there is another frequent poster on this site who fulfils that role, but the Queen is not Queen of Scotland, nor is she Queen of England, she is Queen of the UK. ///

When I was at school we were always taught "The Kings and Queens of England" no mention of the UK or Britain if it comes to that, unless we were studying "The Ancient Britains".

When did it change?

[mikey4444]

Obiter (22.22) there is nothing whatsoever racist about the term Gog. They don't like the term used about them but its no worse than what they call us.

In answer to your 02:23 question, there is a cause that I can think of but I do not allow it to pass my lips since 8th April 2013.

Try using that as an excuse if a person's skin colour doesn't happen to be white.

[mikey4444]

New Poll in today's Guardian, carried out by TNS, gives NO 39%, YES 38% but the "don't knows" a whopping 23%, so its not over yet it would seem.

Although, how so many people don't know after such a loud, long and high-profile campaign by both sides is beyond me !

[mikey4444]

PaddyPower still gives the YES vote ahead.
