That's a fairly condescending 'joke'!
Seems to me that if there is an analogy with a cancerous growth - and its removal - to be made, its the Scots removing the 'cancer' that is Westminster! Whether the 'patient' will survive either the surgery or live long and well afterwards is yet to be seen!

That arm has provided the world with many great things..............I thought you as a Liverpool fan might have a bit more respect, given so many ties to home!

Would it be fair to day that the only thing this vote/referendum/debate/posturing has really accomplished is dividing Scotland?

No. But that has certainly been one impact.

Sorry but what does me have supporting Liverpool have to do with my opinion on the Independance of Scotland ?
As for respect ? Well you only need to read some of the things said by some yes voters to see that respect was thrown out the window a long time ago.

You claimed Scotland was holding you back and I was giving you an example close to home where Scots have helped you out!

No, but it has brought the Nationalists to the surface where before they would have small meetings where they could light each others fire about an independent Scotland and the Utopia that would follow.
A 'friend' is pretty senior within the SNP and the stuff discussed behind closed doors you wouldn't believe if it was in a movie.

H'mm! Seems to me 'the English' have been experts at 'contemptuous arrogance' for a long time - hundreds of years even. Perhaps only bested by 'the French', who seem to consider it an art form! The Scots seem to have a number of ways of eliminating such behaviour, not all, if any, of them subtle!

You see that's where it goes to rats IMHO. The Yes vote seems more an anti Westminster thing and not one based around the union which is the UK. Every person over the age of 18 who is a resident and not in clink has the opportunity to vote. The fact that over half choose not to is not the fault of MPs, England, Wales, Scotland (although nothing's normally their fault) or anyone else. As I have said before, the country gets the politicians it deserves and those that don't vote are normally the ones that spend most of the time moaning.

All depends on the state of the arm and if it's holding back the rest of the body :thup:
Was that the other LP that wrote this? The example was the Scottish ties to Liverpool, if you don't know them then google is once again your friend.
TBH I can't be bothered going round in circles with you again, so I'm going to bow out! Enjoy your weekend!

Seems to me, too many Scots have a massive chip on their shoulder and look to others to blame for their lot, but this, and your statement our only our views.

When does Hot Shot Hamish , Our Wullie and the Broons leave
Have you read the Sunday Post recently? DC Thomson will self-combust if there is a YES - taking The Broons and Oor Wullie with them.

One tangential reason I'd be keen on a YES - Scots will (eventually) only have themselves to blame for problems and congratulate for successes.
one can only hope.

We'd hate to lose you but if you cant see the crock of sh*te you're being sold by the SNP you've only got yourselves to blame!
There's a world of difference between devolution and independence!
