#1 This Scotland independence thing has been going on for a long time. So where will they get the money to run the country. Who gets dibs on what is left of North Sea oil? The devil is definitely in the details. And what happens to the muzzies? How do they fit into the perloo? Heh.

#4 What about the Welsh and the different islanders?

Oh and when they break up can we have Diego Garcia?

#8 first came the Welsh
who prayed on their knees
and on their neighbors

next came the Scots
who took communion
and anything else they could get their hands on

then came the Irish
who fought valiantly for a cause
long after they'd forgotten what it was

and lastly came the English
who had always thought of themselves
as a self-made nation
thus relieving the Creator of an awful lot of responsibility...

#10 I've forgotten this part of Brit history, but isn't SCOTLAND technically already a independent sovereign nation, or supposed to be, that just happens to wilfully "freely associate" with England and is allowed to observe-participate in the English Parliament. SCOTS "FORGOT" THEY WERE INDEPENDENT + SOVEREIGN, THAT LEGALLY/TECHNICALLY THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO UNILATER LEAVE THE ANGLO-SCOTTISH "UNION" AT ANY TIME THEIR LOCAL GOVT CHOOSES??? The conquering English monarchs may had meant "unification" but instead wilfully proliferated the use of ambiguous, CONFEDERATIST diplom language and terms???
