Interesting to say the least but I will put in my tuppence worth for a laugh. Saxon comes from the region of Germany called Saxoney(spelt wrongly)and the English are called Anglo's hence the merger of the two being Anglo-Saxon. Are we all clear on that one? Good. Next Tam Dalziel is definetelly Scottish, due to his education he may sound English. His great great Grandfather many times removed was also called Tam Dalziel who founded the Scots Greys regiment and was a Scottish lord. Next. The reason that Scottish MP's vote on UK matters is that they belong to the house of commons for the UK. So even if they dont live in the country affected by the voting policy they still have a right to vote as they have been elected to do just that by a constituancy who chose them as a member of parliament of the UK. Next Now the British Govt still have over all control of the individual countries with in the Union. This is why the Govt had and has the power to close the Northern Irish Assembly and tell them when it is going to start up again. Next. When the Tories were in power the Scottish office ran with I think 8 MP's representing scottish constituancies. Due to the lack of Scottish MP's they had to have English constituancy MP's into the scottish office to allow to job to get done. Next the majority of Scott's are actually of Irish decent or from the Highlands so call me old fashioned but people from these areas definetely have the identity of gael's do they not? Even thought they may not speak the language it must be said that they do have gaelic blood running through there veins arteries and cappilleries. Lastly someone said that Tony Blair was Scottish since when? As far as I know he was born in England Educated in Scotland and Lives in England. See some people will do anything to say they are Scottish even the PM. Hope that has cleared up some wee issues for you Cheers for the noo Dylan
