Everything he said was wrong, but because he's American he was wrong with full enthusiasm.

Scotland could become the British Denmark if it was freed from Tory hell.

Irrelevant when Scotland joins the EU while England becomes the Turkey of the north.

Illogical, muddle-headed and erroneous.....

Ireland faced a lot more challenges and had none of the advantages Scotland will have.

Unfortunately cowards toadies and imbeciles are allowed a vote too.

That's typical of post/colonial societies.

@cerdic6305 Not really, Scotland attempted a few settlements in America but it's most famous was at colonising the swamps and Jungle in what was to become the Panama canal area in the 1698, it ended in financial disaster which led to them selling out to England in 1707.

@cerdic6305 Well all empires have incorporated conquered peoples into their forces since time immemorial, that's what empires do- Take their land take their women and children and conscript their men (either voluntarily or not) and move on to their next victims. What a few adventurers have done in history is not indicative of the will of a population. But be in no doubt that the plundered wealth of nations flowed into London not Scotland Ireland or Wales.

@cerdic6305 Of course people are people, I'm sure individual Gaulish chiefs profited by the Pax Romana and selling out too but the Romans were the ones in charge and the wealth flowed back to Rome and their homelands were still conquered and their original culture decimated just like the Scots, but if you find it more comforting to imagine that the Highland clearances never happened nor was there forced conscription and press ganging because it suits your narrative that Scotland was part of the glorious English empire instead of one of its many victims then go for it- But understand this, there's a reason Scotland is an impoverished backwater while other ex colonies with similar cultures like the USA Canada Australia NZ and Ireland are thriving.

Quebec can't join the EU Scotland can.

@stephenderry9488 A sort of McBuddha? Teach us your ways oh wise one.

@tenniskinsella7768 Why?

So much wrong with all this hypocritical erroneous drivel, if Scotland is older fatter poorer and unhealthier is it because they are a different species to their Irish and Scandinavian cousins who have kicked out English rule or never had it or perhaps it's because they've been asset stripped of everything including their youngest and brightest like every other colony of the English? Scotland has tremendous natural resources and advantages, moreso than other countries who have thrown off the colonial yoke which it must do to escape the clutches of corrupt racist English idiocy. Scotland will be welcomed back into the European family and leave them to rot in their land of dope and Tory.

That's about all they'll be able to afford soon, wooden ships. 😂

I wish we were independent.

Yeah and it's funny Ireland with a similar population climate and culture (but less natural resources) is now one of the richest countries in Europe once it got out of Tory hell.

You'd be too if you'd been a colony for 300 years and had your culture oppressed.
1
And wrong.

No you weren't, you were and are a toady.
