Not if you're a Scot, obviously.

[retrocop]

Only if they all have the Gordon Brown mindset!!

[anneasquith]

would it just be England. what about wales. northern Ireland, or are England more precious than them ?

[Peter Pedant]

Nope they're done it before

IN the C18, every parish in Scotland had a school and a dominie ( enacted by James IV I think )
and so it turned out that Scotland was the best educated nation in the world. Think Scottish Enlightenment. And so when an Enpire was carved out (1763) they came down in droves to run the Empire and .... didnt do a bad job

It's not exactly the most thrilling prospect, no. Having voted no to Independence, as most people living in Scotland did, I can't help but wonder what the price of SNP entering a coalition will be. Independence through the "back door" isn't totally unrealistic.

Would terrify the crap out of me, I would move to Europe somewhere!

Looking at the Scots track record, it may have been a good few years ago, but they actually took their Country not just close to the brink of Financial Ruin but so far over the edge we had to bail them out.
At least the Labour Party, left to their own devices, every time they are in power, only approach National Bankruptcy, but in true Labour Style have never actually achieved it (or anything else).

[Baldric]

Sorry, I realise that last bit was unfair to Labour, they did manage to flood the UK with Immigrants a while back!

Oh so it was the Scots who ran the Empire, then why is it the England always takes the blame?

[anneasquith]

this is all media hysteria, and people are listening!!!!!! I doubt Nicola will be prime minister. :)

[andrew1707]

Are you kidding me....

We're not all communist ogres about to eat your children and kill all the rich.

[anotheoldgit]

Wow the Scots ruling England on top of Islam ruling it, it about time we rallied an Army for the defence of England.

But wait a minute has anyone any objections to a group being formed for the defence of England?

Second thoughts such a group is already in existence.

[RATTER15]

It aint the kids that worry me, its England being awash with Buckfast! I know we make the stuff but we dont drink it, we just send it to the Scotts!

and that accent!!

[andrew1707]

@AOG
So you're proposing the EDL take on the Scots as well... now that would be interesting.

'All the rich' are in Scotland, no University tuition fees, no NHS prescription fees, free care for the elderly who own their own houses, paying far less tax per head, and free eye tests.

Yes a sad choice, but who else is there who are prepared to speak out in defence of England?

[andrew1707]

Ah yes, AOG, I feel like such a pauper when I go back to visit Scotland. All that wealth is so overwhelming. It's a wonder that the Scottish diaspora don't all return to cash in on the riches available.

I've heard that they're starting to give up Buckfast in favour of Bollinger!!

[ladybirder]

So it sounds as if nobody thinks it could really happen?

[maggiebee]

Ratters, I find you posts extremely offensive to all Scots - I personally have never met a person who drinks Buckfast, but I have watched TV programmes about the drunken antics that go on in English cities at the weekend (probably Scottish too).
Please let me know when you plan your going away party, I'd love to wave you off.

[ladybirder]

Maggie I took that as being TIC from Ratter.

[ToraToraTora]

they are ruling England!
