United We Stand
As one of Scot's descent (like many including Trump) and one with
great respect for the sensible majority of Scotland, I am furious
that Nationalist Scots want to split a country. They claim it is now
reasonable as the UK voted for Brexit, but one is splitting a trade
union - Indie is splitting a country. In Spain's Catalans, when
their Nat's got that carried away, Spain simply sent in the army.
Instead, dopey Cameron (PM at the time, and himself of Scot's
descent), allowed a vote that, unlike almost any other democratic
decision, allowed only those currently residing in the region to
vote.
For those unaware, they lost that vote anyway (held before Brexit),
but had it been open to ex-pats as is the norm, they would have lost
by a landslide. Despite this loss, they continually spoil the
political scape in the UK by obstructing and extreme partisanship.
Scots Nationalists are not entitled
Fact is they are not indigenous - they are Gaels that invaded from
Ireland in 500AD under king Mor. They massacred many indigenous
Picts in 670AD and Celts were driven south to Wales etc. THEY HAVE
NO SPECIAL RIGHT TO CLAIM THE NORTH (let alone call it a country and
usurp it).
More: BC Britons were made of Picts & Celts. In the south they
were joined from Angles (south Denmark), hence the Anglish which
later mutated to English. The Anglish were then joined by the
Romans, Saxons and Jutes. After this, Gaels (now know as Scots),
came from Ireland in 500AD as described above. In the 1800s, a new
wave of Irish joined. About half the more ensconced Scots moved
south, whilst the remaining Scots were diluted with yet more Irish
blood.
"Scots" don't belong in the north! They certainly don't get to vote
what happens to it!
Dishing the dirt, it is said that Scottish Nationalists were also
Nazi collaborators. I'm not sure how reasonable that charge is, but
where there is smoke there is fire. See links below (specifically
the
twitter
one).
Finally
Again, for balance, know that my (Editor's) majority Scots descent
is not at odds with this. Every nation and creed has it's skeletons,
but for the remaining Scots to act like victims is laughable,
especially when, like the Irish (who also tend to claim
victimization), are among the most successful "races" on earth
having such a large influence and input into America and many other
countries.
It would be hilarious if they did somehow depart. Putin sends
bombers into "their" airspace frequently, and is constantly trying
to expand it's water rights. The Chinese too have been arming up and
talking expansionism, as well as threatening Australia. Would the
Scot's Nat's fly up there on their magic kilts and scare these
foreigners away by squeezing a bag of pipes made out of a sheep's
bits and tortured wood? We shouldn't mock, and we should respect
those who sensibly wish to stay united. But a little disrespect may
be worth it to remind the unsure just how daft it is.
