costly but worth it to get out from under Englands thumb
I’d like to see Scotland gain independence as well.
Ping......
Hopefully the Scots take advantage of this to pull the eject handle and say “see ya, suckers!”
I have a Question.....
I understand that Cameron is a conservative. So, is it that Scotland opposes conservative government in general (and thus favors liberal government),or is it more a national pride thing that they just want their own country back from the English who took it from them?
An interesting twist to Scotland is the odd relationship it has had with of all places, Poland. For various reasons, in historical times, Scots would travel to Poland to find work and Poles would travel to Scotland for the same reason. Currently, the flow is from Poland to Scotland.
Even Bonnie Prince Charlie’s mother was Polish. Maria Clementina Sobieska was a Polish noblewoman, the granddaughter of the Polish king John III Sobieski.
Being one of Europe’s wealthiest heiresses, she was betrothed to James Francis Edward Stuart, Prince of Wales, the son of the soon-to-be-deposed James II of England.
King George I of Great Britain was opposed to the marriage because he feared that the union might produce heirs to James Francis Edward’s claim to his thrones.
To placate him, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI arrested Maria Clementina while on her way to Italy to marry James Francis Edward. She was confined in Innsbruck Castle but eventually the guards were deceived and Maria Clementina escaped to Bologna, Italy, where, for safety from further intrusions, she was married by proxy to James who was in Spain at that time.
Geez, what a soap opera.
