              After The Referendum, if the Vote returns the majority for NO, 'Wee Eck' has another card up his Magicians sleeve,
              It's called a 'Neverendum', Keep Having Votes Till You Get It In Your Favour:wallbanging:.

              Independence My Anus :mad:, more like Dictatorship.

                It was on the news this morning that one of Scotland's biggest financial companies (can't remember which one) has announced that it is setting up a load of limited companies registered in England, and has put plans in place for a rapid withdrawal from Scotland if they vote Yes to independence.

                      Standard Life - to be honest, they are only doing what any sensible company would do under the circumstances; if anyone believes that any business will stay when there is no clear fiscal policy, let alone a business that has financial trading at its very core, then they are even more deluded than Salmond.

                        It's more likely the Scots were honourary Romans. If you considered that the romans were Italian, they had no power. They'd have ran away if it wasn't for their cunning strategy. They became powerful through assimilation. I.e. they wangled deals with people they met and got them to join in. So in effect, the romans were actually not really a specific people at all, but a massive collective of people they'd met and convinced to join them as they travelled around.

                        So, if the Scots were romans, or the romans were Scots, that can only mean one thing. That the Scots were only too keen to join in with whoever seemed to be the winning side. By extension, that means the Scots were french:lunapic 130165696578242 5:
