Scotland can just decide to go and the rest of the UK has no say in it? Interesting. If that's the case why the new pissing match over the Falklands?

The Scottish hate the English because we have stolen their oil and beat the crap out of them for hundreds of years, so no wonder they do not support us at football matches. We however do not have any hang ups and support Scotland and Andy Murray without any concern. I knew it was not a good idea to give them their own parliament, their students do not pay university fees or car park fees at hospitals.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Yeah thats weird isnt it
Australia can just walk when ever it wants to as well.
So why was the hold on nth Ireland and Falklands?
In Aus we have royalists who dont want independence but they will get out voted soon.
i suppose the difference is we wont take their land or try to rub them out.
Whether you agree with it or not the British perspective is that we protected British subjects who did not want to be run by an invading foreign state, in the guise of Argentina. Scotland is a very different case in which it seems the Scottish themselves will be given the opportunity to leave the union. It will be a shame if it happens because a lot of what makes Scotland and indeed England ,Wales and Northern Ireland great has occurred after the uniting of us all.
I think it will look something like this

I'll admit to not being well read on UK history but is it not one of the last colonies left over from Britian's imperial period? The resident's self determination is something to be taken into account but so is a nation's desire to control islands off their coast. I'd say fighting a military conflict half way around the world to control a piece of land pretty well describes imperialism in most instances.

If you lived on the Falkland's I just think you would have a very different outlook, the people pure and simple want to remain British.
When we ruled the World and we did you included it was the British Empire,a by gone age which has gone, it's our History remember we were good at it.
So we are not going to hand over something which is our's, are you going to hand over Alaska because it has a border with Canada, think about it, by right's it belong's to Canada.!
Canada doesn't want Alaska and at least its part of the same continent as the US and not a vestige of American imperialism half way around the world.

As with Scotland Leaving the UK I don't think it's a good idea, I can see there point about being governed
by Westminster, and feeling there need's are being overlooked.
Together we are strong keep the UK as it is it may not be perfect but what is leave well alone.!
