"The clan forces under the Pretender, were fighting for the Jacobites who wanted the British crown – that is to be clear - to rule the United Kingdom from London."

Yes, but it enabled the victorious Scots, with English assistance, to kill most of the worst Highland families. Without that very necessary and beneficial Scot-on-Scot genocide Jockland would never have been able to benefit from English generousity. Perhaps it didn't go quite far enough.

Dunfesterin and Butcher Cumberland,

The Battle of Culloden was not as many think, a battle between the English and the Scots per se. It was in fact the apex event of a dynastic civil war. Scots troops fought with the British Army commanded by Cumberland. The clan forces under the Pretender, were fighting for the Jacobites who wanted the British crown – that is to be clear - to rule the United Kingdom from London. So this was no monumental moment in a struggle for independence. This is simply hijacked history, rather like all the Braveheart movie version of history nonsense.

….and it all ended badly for the Scots anyhow. Their military record against the English is lousy. On the face of it they fight like big girls blouses – and indeed their ‘Bonnie Prince’ ran away dressed as a girl.

A good friend of mine is a senior research scientist with a very big oil company – and he is a proud Scot. So just to get this straight, I can confirm a few things about the oil ‘issue’.

1. There isn’t enough of it to make an independent Scotland financially secure – and it is running out. To get into the Shale based reserves would cost so much, a Scots government would need massive overseas investment, with the loss of sovereignty and profit that comes with being an in demand single resource economy.

2. The maritime border divisions that other posters have alluded to are indeed important. The fact is North Sea oil is British Oil: if the UK split the oil splits and England would end up with about 80% of the fields, so it isn’t actually Scottish oil. Sorry Jocks, that really is just some Nat propaganda.

3. The (limited) oil revenue would become simply a means of bribing the electorate with ever more outrageous and ultimately unsustainable welfarism. Corruption, endemic in many small oil states will flourish.

I personally don’t care if Scotland goes, but the ramifications for all union countries will be severe in every sense, as I have mentioned in earlier posts. And that is why the SNP are not fit to run Scotland, because they just cannot see, or choose not to tell Scots people - what the implications are for Scotland internationally.

We would love to come and teach you all a lesson. Shouldn't be that hard, the last time I was in your god forsaken hole of a country, the local population consisted of obese, drunk pondlife who couldn't move without spluttering and wheezing. It was vile to look at. What an ugly race you are.

The Butcher will be back.

We will be the judge of that.

We bred Jocks to fight so we could have a rest. Now that we have no further use for you we have no need to fight you. The withdrawal of our funding from your medical services would soon lead to you all perishing from your addictions to fried Mars bars. Though restaging Colloden would be much more fun.

I don't think you quite grasped my point, but so it goes.

Incidentally, I am not upset but rather pleased at the turn things are taking - except that it seems, in some quarters, to lead to the substitution of childish insults for rational argument.

I ought to have explained that the switch from a NE/SW line to a E/W line actually loses about 80 per cent of 'Scots' oil. Thus, Scotland could not afford to become independent (if its economic assumptions include getting most of the - dwindling - supply of oil).

Perhaps your case (whatever it is) would be clearer if you were to adopt conventional grammar, punctuation and spelling. A shame you are unable to meet such standards, for almost all the other Scots I have had dealings with have been products of a superior educational system and were cultured and civilised human beings.

Sorry to turn hoity-toity, but you make the temptation irresistable.

And we have spent the money, thanks, but your now skint (again)
So sling your hook down the station, or park with your can of Special Brew/Deep Fied Mars Bar, and fight amonst yourselves.

What a delight the sturdy folk of Glasgow East have brought us!

On the matter of the oil, I recall a TV prog decades ago on which a spokesman for a then tiny SNP appeared, to claim that the oil was 'theirs'. He was roundly demolished by an expert in international law who pointed out that:-

1. The claim that the oil is Scots is based on projecting the boundary between England and Scotland along a line of latitude, ie parallel to the equator;

2. If the line were instead projected out to sea as an extension of the land border (ie in a north-easterly direction), most of the oil would fall into the English sector;

3. The convention internationally for projecting land borders out to sea is as in 2. above.

If my recall is accurate and the information was true, the case for the Scots to become an oil state collapses.

I'd love to see Alex Salmond's face when he eventually gets that advice himself. Could any international lawyer comment, please?

Sorry but the oil's in Scottish territorial waters, you thick English prick. That means its ours. I bet you went to Oxford and all!! Did you just spend your time there "fagging" lol

I'll fight you and WW for our oil. At once. I have no doubts I'd win.

5 million jocks are more than a match for 55 million English poofs. Look at you, you are cowards, it takes Scots to give Brown a stern message.

2008-07-25T16:58:00.000+01:00

Glasgow east was not a case of Brown loosing but, of Glasgow East wiseing up. The MP was 'retiring' on ill health grounds, whose house acted as his 'office' and when you see photographs, one realises that this can not be so. Then Alex Salmon cleverly moving in with the fact that Margaret (the Labour candidate) as an SNP had never visited the labour office in Glasgow East. Well good on Glasgow EAst - what a shocker - neglected by labour, so voted them out. But I do not think it entirely a Brown problem as Brown is trying to clean up sleaze.

There is no brown bottom as long as he's in power; he'll continually sink lower and lower until he's kicked out.

When your boss is an incompetent loony who has control over the company you work for, there are, logically speaking, only 3 possible outcomes:

1) Your company goes bankrupt
2) Your boss gets sacked
3) Your boss resigns

There are no other alternatives; your boss won't magically start enhancing the company's (or his own) fortunes when he's an incompetent loony, it only ever gets worse until 1 of the 3 points above happens.

I don't think labour have tumbled to the seriousness of any of this yet, they also don't realise that the whole party is tarnished with the same brush and all as incompetent as each other so a change of leader won't make any significant difference.

It's very enjoyable watching them scrabble around in the shit though wondering why people don't like them.
