300 years old today

No not VA, but the Union between Scotland and England, today is it's 300th birthday - long may it last too. If not then as an expat Englishman living up here I might have to go back home...................

Sorry Tim, but I disagree and think the Union should end.

I believe in devolved goverment: Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland quite rightly have their own assemblies to look after their own interests.., why not England? The average English tax-payer subsidises the Scots to the tune of £400-500 per year. Why? Indeed, I'd even extend the same argument to the EU.

I'm all for the priciple of "eat what you kill".., why should I work hard to feed somebody else, especially IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY!!! Evil or Very Mad MY12 SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ebony/Piano/Sidesteps/Privacy/Overfinch Olympus/JLR DRLs

Brian, I agree entirely about devolution but I would prefer the status quo rather than going the full smash up the union route. The SNP have not done their sums and with the present election we have been getting doorstepped by these prats from SNP trying to tell us that Scotland can go it alone.................... none of them can tell me though where they will get the money from if they do. Whisky exports won't pay for all the sick and unemployed, and I would sooner take a hit on my house value than pay the mega hike in tax that those of us in work will get. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

There are very many injustices in these fair Isles.., especially, I resent housing, feeding and attending to the health of many hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have no legitimate right to be here!

Why should I go to work to support lazy and dishonest east european, asian or african parasites whose blood-lines, culture and heritage lay elsewhere? This country is slowly being bled dry!

Yes, it wouldn't be appropriate on this Forum. But I'm sure the vast majority would share our views! Neutral MY12 SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ebony/Piano/Sidesteps/Privacy/Overfinch Olympus/JLR DRLs

I have blood from the French Royal Family in my veins. However, I think we've all assimilated nicely over the last thousand years into our current Anglo-Saxon identity and vastly different from the current scourge of immigration!
