Edinburgh would be part of that, we'd be rid of the Weegees and the Fifers and we could have a Greggs' monopoly. pictured: Jackie Baillie putting down a potential Geordie annexation of the Lothians: I think it's just a useful historical reference point to highlight a division between the north and the south. Maybe if it happens and Scottish independence goes pear shaped then we could have a vibey conflict for each other's historic border regions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Can't we just swap the borders with the North of England, like in the Simpsons episode where Homer became sanitation commissioner and ruined Springfield so they moved the whole town five miles down the road? Just swap all the people around, it's what they'd want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) It's actually nice to see how fresh faced and idealistic the Welsh movement is. They've not yet had the onslaught of too wee too poor too stupid from Welsh unionists and the WM machine, probably because they're not taken seriously yet. It'll probably crank up soon if support keeps rising. I think the early covid response really opened a lot of their eyes, and even although those variables have all changed a lot, once the eyes are open it's hard to force them shut again (shit analogy I know). JRM in particular ground a lot of Welsh gears iirc when they suggested closing the borders Edited March 4, 2021 by madwullie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Jesus, I don't know why, but it'd never occurred to me that there would be such a thing as Welsh Unionists. Somewhere in Wales, there's a shaven-headed lunatic stalking around in an England shirt screaming Rule Britannia in a Welsh accent and trying to goad passers-by into fighting them as proof of Welsh bigotry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like any sane person would agree that not having a cricket team is a good thing. Sadly they do have one, they're just a part of the English team, don't even get to be in the name 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I’ve a feeling that the Welsh movement will get a bit more factional than the Scottish one. There’s an obvious SE/NW and linguistic divide plus I don’t think they’re as uniform in political views as Scots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to imagine Celtgers significantly infesting Wales, considering they have a variety of much more successful clubs within local reach, but there are eejits everywhere, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
