You and the rest here are dreaming if you think for one minute we will give up one inch of Scottish soil to England or any other foreign country for that matter...It will be defended to the hilt, with much blood shed.
You're bordering on racism mate. Why do you hate the English so much? You're so off topic now you basically sound like a wining 12 year old. With the knowledge of a 12 year old.

As stated earlier I am English but have a large amount of Scottish friends. I was shocked to learn that a large proportion of Scottish people do not like the English. This is a situation that has been going on a long time and there is much bitterness on both sides. A very delicate time in my opinion.

you disappear for hours then jump in and start on my posts...have you actually been following this thread or do you just seek out me for special treatment?....
Maybe you would like to have a look at the posts bordering on the anti Scottish in here and comment on them....
I have said nothing racist here and said nothing to support your claim that i hate England...if Certain individuals in here want to talk of claiming the Shetlands and Orkneys for England then i'll defend my country as i said...to the Hilt to make sure they will never get one Inch of our soil.
And you being a Scot, if indeed you are one, should be bloody ashamed of yourself.

Well I am as proud a Scot as I am a Brit. My family and friends are the same. I have family and friends in England as well. In fact my family ties are in Stoke however I was born and raised in Peterhead. I can't deny there are many patriotic 'Yessers' kicking around this area but it seems they would have opted for independence even without reason. That it what frustrates me.

Ok that actually made me laugh. Normally rant against any stereotype but the aversion to coats in Newcastle seems true.
The more serious point is that there I more to being a nation than simply wanting to be independent or join another nation. My street for example couldn't vote to join Norway.

My mother, who is normally a very level-headed woman, called me up after a training course in Newcastle in absolute hysterical laughter after seeing the line for a nightclub in Newcastle in January. She was out in a coat, a hat, two scarfs and gloves. I won't repeat what she said about the partygoers that she saw.
I fully agree, all of this anger and seperation fearmongering will be proved to be unfounded.

What is best for both nations is to have a prosperous neighbour to trade with.

I imagine that is the rationale for them having armed forces.
However with no Armed forces they would be unable to involve themselves with world conflicts. Acts of terrorism are commited when groups of people either react to a threat or attack or use violence as a way to create change when all other methods prove inefctual.
I do not see how a terrorist group would have a motive to commit an act of violence against a small island that has no bearing on the cause they or fighting for? a reply to: DJW001

Ahhh, The Flamming Bawbag attack of 07.
Two Disgruntled Doctors out their nut on resentment at the UK's involvement in middle east issues....and Morphine .
They Hit London the night before with a Car bomb consisting of Propane Gas canisters (safety valves fitted) and Petrol...other than stink the place out they Failed miserably.
With The police on their tail they had to make a run for it, and in their desperation loaded up a Jeep with more Gas canisters and petrol and ram raided a door at Glasgow Airport.
Not what i would call a Terrorist cell by a long shot.

True, but international politics is always about the best deal for your own country, every time.
That is the mantra of the civil service, at all levels.
