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. 1) On this minor point over the aesthetic of the grammar, you are completely correct. Hats off to you. 2) On this, the rather more important second part of your statement, you are obviously talking complete pish. Scotland pre 1707 had no public debt, was as wealthy as most similar sized nations and had a dam sight better educated populace than almost all in Western Europe. This all changed post 1707, when our nation was turned into a provincial backwater after being sold off by our own aristos, against the wishes of the vast majority of the populace. The aristocrats certainly prospered out if it. Most of the rest of the nation did not for the best part of 100 years. Economic growth in Scotland fell away sharply in comparison with England and other similar sized European nations. In fairness, the union did have a wee purple patch in Scotland between about 1850 and 1950. However the rest of the time, the union has brought nothing but f@ckin misery to most in Scotland. Without doubt, for the majority of the last half century, Scotland has been terribly hindered by being tied to a deid duck. That is where we are at now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is stating that Jockland had no public debt before 1707 now one of the Natter myths? Are you really rewriting history to this extent? Are you eliding Darien from the public conscience? 1707 happened for two major reasons: Protestantism and debt.

Our unsustainable debt in 1707 is what drove us in to Union - hence the almost became a slave master Bard's - 'parcel of rogues' schtick - allied to our joint Reformed cause which we affirmed with England in 1560.

I think you maybe are confusing public debt (ie the national debt) with that of the debt of private individuals. (There is a reason the aristocrats sold their nation much to the disgust of the vast majority) For your education, Scotland in 1707 ran at a surplus. Scotland had to agree to take on a share of England's debt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the empty-headed Natters like to argue that black is white but this is endlessly entertaining.

In 2020 the taxpayers of London and the SE sent money to finance the Scotch economy - as they did in 1707. In the past year it has been to the tune of £15 billion. All of which is to miss the point. For almost 300 years we Jocks have shaped our delightful Union. In the past few years the Scotch have been in the thrall of the nasty wee Murrells and, consequently, have become a shower of cosplaying grievance junkies.

Bairnardo Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I thought you knew your history?No, that the other cheek.

He does love to stoke EDL grievance. It’s part of the whole “I hate them Scotch as much as you, me ol’ mucker. Please accept me” shtick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
