Am I the only one pissed off by the SNP?

[Eddie Teach]

You really don't want to ask these people to rule on whether you're an idiot or not. 

[jimmy olsen]

Thankfully that's not the question under consideration.

[viper37]

Seriously, though, if neccessary the Brits should use force to keep the country together.

To achieve their life long dream of immitating Vladimir Putin?

[Eddie Teach]

If the British were gonna go down that route, they shouldn't let the Scots have the plebiscite in the first place.

[Richard Hakluyt]

Wait so you are an Irishman who grew up in Scotland and lives in England?  Sheilbh is Britain personified.

I was born in Liverpool so I'm English born - but I do have Irish citizenship (I need to renew my passport actually now I'm stressing about the union and the EU). I also have Welsh and Manx grandparents. So yeah I am very British

Yes, there's a lot of that sort of thing about. My wife is half-Scots and half-Irish but was born and brought up in England, with innumerable holidays in Scotland. I'm English but have lived in Scotland and spent much of my childhood on British army bases with people from all over the British Isles and even the wider Commonwealth. Our kids are from Lancashire, a county which has nothing to do with either of our families; they are British through and through and risk their country being partitioned and have no say.

[Josquius]

I'm 3/8s Irish, used to live there even. Getting an Irish passport is something I've always considered for the coolness factor but never done as it was pointless. But yes, if Britain leaves the EU then I'll need to get it.
If Britain leaves the EU and Scotland leaves then 
I'm fucking emigrating.

Five monts is an eternity in an election like this. It'll swing back and forth a few more times before shaking out one way or the other.

Seriously, though, if neccessary the Brits should use force to keep the country together.

Surely you can't be serious

[jimmy olsen]

Surely you can't be serious

I would absolutely be in favor of using force to keep the UK together. Unless the minority in question is legitimately be oppressed I am always opposed to secession. I don't think this is an unusual American stance. We believe secession is bad and should be crushed.

See the poll I made.

[Josquius]

Bloody hell.
That's beyond disagreeable. Thats just.... What the fuck?
Democracy=good.

This is Timmmay you are talking to.  WTF are his middle initials.

[Gups]

Then where is all this neglect driving them to independence?  This makes it sound like they should have no grievances at all.

It's not really about grievances though. As I say I think it'd be a very amicable divorce.

Sorry to drag this up from page XX, but c'mon Shelf, you can't be serious.

It will be a horrendous divorce which wil take up the focus of both countries for years. There will be massive rows about the apportionment of debt and of assets, about trident, about the currrency union, the BBC, oil rights etc etc.

You people imposed that awful partition on India and Pakistan, and now it is your turn. You probably never thought it would happen to you. The refugees, the divided families, the violence and border conflicts. Great Britain, 2015. 

[Valmy]

You people imposed that awful partition on India and Pakistan

That is not exactly how that went down.

Dorsey isn't exactly the sharpest history tool in the shed.  Just laugh and move on.

I am like an old rusty shovel. I just beat you over the head again and again. Eventually you have a horrible headache and probably an infection like tetanus.
