Thinking on it that's a valid comparison, yeah. Ewan McGregor's face turn was great. I think Billy Connolly has teased one but he hasn't fully committed to it yet. edit: Salmond probably the most high profile heel turn I can think of along with Wings and his descent into madness.

I particularly like this idea that when Scotland votes Yes, the parts that vote No should stay a part of the United Kingdom. The second of your posts I've responded to this evening. You're blessed. That the UK-supporting parts of Scotland should have support to either continue in the union or to have their own independent future is absolutely right. I mentioned this a week or two back. A trick he's missed, though, is that Scottish businesses who don't want to be cut off from the Union should be given support in various ways to move their companies away from the Caledonian Transnistria. iJock is a nasty, divisive concept and the government of the UK should do all in its powers to limit its impact. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye...like the pro EU areas of the UK got to continue in the.........oh wait... Seriously this latest Yoonatic ploy to promote the partition of Scotland is not just craven and cringeworthy from the so called "proud Scots"........it's downright evil given the the very real recent troubled history caused by the same tactic in Ireland.

Very good.....and they will do so again in the not too distant future. With or without Westminster approval. And this time, as is consistently shown in polling, the majority will vote for Scotland (all of it) to become an independent state.

Being a cultured student of these nations histories, I am sure you are aware there is a very real legal case for a Scottish claim of right and the sovereignty of the Scottish people. As such, a resounding democratic mandate would be impossible for any lawful government to ignore. Mind you we are going to have to deal with the current Westminster mob who are self confessed law breakers right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd use an apostrophe. 2. We donated our sovereignty to wur big English pals in both a magnificent and prescient gesture in 1603. Said act propelled Scotland from a medieval backwater on to the world stage. We then formally made our unbreakable bond in 1707. Really, the history of Scotland for (almost) half a millennium has been the story of the Scottish tail wagging the English dog so I haven't a fucking clue what you're on about.

To be fair, I don’t think this particular John Bull cliché has ever pretended to be anything other than deeply ashamed of his Scottishness - at least since his bosses stopped seeing it as a colourful joke and started seeing it as just as disgustingly foreign as the Irish or French. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
