Or even the Hugenots, Jutes, West Indians, Jews, Norse, Asians, post war poles and some arabs up in the northeast .. and there's the irish ..

The point is that the SNP made it clear that this election was not a vote for independence. It was a vote to improve Scotland's lot.

It's a shame we don't get this excited about the european elections!
-
I've enjoyed it!

Colonisation became a "dirty word" with the burgeoning liberal elite in europe at the time.

leaving that aside breffni, lets take Zimbabwi for example, it used to feed a sizeable chunk of africa, following Mugabi's mis-rule they are now an impoverished nation.. tribal warfare and disease never happened under white rule.

That's right Ww... there were only ever about 50,000 troops in India, it could never have ruled with an "iron fist" with that few in such a large country.

"Great Britain" was a name coined by the French to distinguish us from the Bretons ..

UK has only just finished paying of it's wartime debit. BBC NEWS | Magazine | What's a little debt between friends?

Mull29 "short" as in a deficit in income without the Barnet Formula .. I think
-
Mull29 I couldn't tell you what Scotland owes. We know how much Scotland would be short "in income terms" but thats not the same thing as anyone's share of the national debt. breffni, there's been a bit of an oil crisis and an almost halving of the price in the last few months or so..

I remember my Gran, didn't have much but what she did have she was proud of. And her house was spick and span.

Mull29, don't confuse being "slagged off for getting the big end of Barnett formula" with a bit of banter FCS! the Scots do give as good as they get on this matter. breffni are they the latest figures perchance mate?

Richard, thats the big question, but will only be answered if a country leaves....
-
If no-one leaves then the status quo remains...
-
Mull29 It's not shared out until a member decides to leave!
-
Mull29 the UK debt is shared between all the countries of the UK. Don't confuse debt with income!

gnfencer, thats democracy for you, the Scots have spoken. I'm not sure I agree with your assertion that your politicians have had to leave the room when decisions were made, on the contrary the Scots were allowed to vote on entirely English matters, ie the MidLothian question. It will be interesting to see if the SNP can do more with their 56 Mps, than Labour with their 232!
