It's crap like this, that makes me wish they'd **** off. How many Scotsmen died under that flag?

Scotland isn't a colony, it's a part of the United Kingdom.

There is a huge difference between a country not having a right to self determination because it is controlled by a distant power and the Scottish situation. Essentially Scotland is just another region of the UK.

England has 1 MP for every 99.5k people
Scotland has 1 for every 90k
Wales has 1 for every 76k
N Ireland 1 for every 95k

In terms of population, Greater London and the 'Home Counties' is about 1.8 times the size of Scotland, Wales and N Ireland combined!

Before anyone gloats I would remind them that there is work to be done which is to deliver what was promised to keep Scotland in the Union. Well done those campaigned for Yes. An excellent campaign, but was not to be. - view external link
