OK, somebody tell us Americans what the big deal is about Scottish Independence. Why would this be a bad thing?

I think its a good thing.

Think of it this way

George Soros, the Globalist and the E.U. are all against it.

These are the same people that want to weaken the United States, end its sovereignty by opening the borders, throw out the U.S. Constitution and believe in a global government that pushes lies like Global Warming.

So if they are against it, then I’m for it.

It will strengthen the U.S. dollar at the very least since it will be seen by investors of the E.U. as a crack in a Dam.

No great insight here, but I think carving a large chunk of the liberal vote out of the UK would perhaps help England in the long run.

The only reasons are taxes and business ones. Say over how they are governed too especially in the area of taxes and representation in the Brit Parliament.

My Scott ancestors have been fighting for centuries for independence from England’s forced rule. Always out numbered and over armed. You really have to know how oppressive Brit rule was on the Scots and Irish, they were less than human. The Brits raped and pillaged, and burned their way across Wales, Ireland and Scotland. And what the Brits did not destroy the Clearances finished, when the new English lords holding the property and those few Scot lords who curry England’s favor, removed the tenants who produced little, in favor of SHEEP.

From William Wallace to King Robert Bruce. Scotland has fought for its freedom from England’s oppression.

This got all tied up in the succession to the throne since James 1 who was Elizabeth 1 heir.

Time it happened. Would we as Americans except Brit rule again?
