Hadrian's Wall stopped the Romans, but it didn't hinder the manipulative Anglo raiders.For centuries the independence of Scotland has been the goal of most of its residents. Now it may be too late from a financial perspective because the North Sea oil revenue is in decline. Westminster will hinder Scottish separation until all the oil is depleted. As for Rafe Mair he's been around long enough to recognize that Central Canada still treats BC as a colonial out-post.

They are trying to prevent and harass law-abiding Scots who simply want to ramble on Trump's "private" golf course. The Scots, of course, are having none of it.<br /><br />So, if you're in the neighbourhood and have the urge to rove across the course to get to the beach, the Trumpistas are in no position to deny you - even if you do develop a sudden urge to piss on the greens.

Scotland is one of the last bastions of sanity in the world, Brexit is an insane nightmare.<br />I was in favour of the union staying together but I see now how badly fucked over the Scots are. And this after convincing them to vote no so they could stay in the Euro. Unbelievable. Brexiters are straight up traitors, FUCK THEM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-71054603586128790032017-04-05T08:34:22.914-04:002017-04-05T08:34:22.914-04:00What a load of hooey!

Gimme a break.<br /><br />The same goes for Scotland and its mealy-mouthed SNP party, always on the lookout to grab a bit of power, and I'm a Galloway boy myself. The EU referendum wasn't on Scottish independence, but there they are Sturgeon and Salmson, digging away to raise a fuss on a false pretext. Traitors no less.<br /><br />And that's how I feel, bud. And no it doesn't make me some racist Great Orange Blossom-loving freak. I do however believe in the rule of law, or every damn stupid group can agitate to leave the union, like Rafe Mair and his BCers. Had enough of Parti Quebec type rabble rousers, and here you are, about to jet off to Scotland to advise them of the superior, rational intellectual conclusion you have come to.<br /><br />Rubbish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-78962007544236340042017-04-05T07:07:01.864-04:002017-04-05T07:07:01.864-04:00Have a great and safe trip Simon.
