Subject: RE: BS: Glasgow earthquake!
I certainly hope so!

BTW Teribus the Scots don't need anything bestowed on them, by you or Good Queen Lizzie.

They are in the process of regaining their self-respect and self-belief by removing the stain of Unionism.
Ever heard of "The parcel of rogues" Teribus? Half-hearted Scots like you who would sell their country language and culture for thirty pieces of silver!
"Scotlands rightful place?"...why don't you know its as a member of the community of small nations, equal and free, with no wars to make and no other countries to exploit.
"subserviance"?? As a Scot I have never felt subservient to anyone or anything on this planet. If you do, tough shit, your problem."

Ah Teribus, but I don't suppose you ever wanted for much or were forced to live among the drug addicts, the mentally ill , the child molesters, with no role models but the drug barons and gang bosses.

I know East Glasgow well, and large areas are just like that. Areas where whole families, from grandfather to grandson have never had a job ,or the chance of a job. where wee lassies get themselves pregnant to escape brutality and abuse in the family home.
Stinking sink estates where they can just be convieniantly forgotten by the government in far away Westminster.
Yes its "tough shit" and it's definitely "their problem", but it's also Scotland's problem.
Thre generations of people living in such circumstances become dispirited and subserviant. Scottish nationalism can give these people some hope that their lives can be improved....self-respect and self-belief!!

Compared to these people Teribus you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth...a career in the Royal Navy and a large house at the end of it....not bad for a pen pusher!
Easy for you to say "tough shit", "their problem" and call them apathetic "couldnae gie a fuck wasters", but starting from where they started, you Teribus would be just the same...subserviant and defeated!

The new Scotland must first and foremost, tackle drug addiction, which has become a National disgrace under successive UK administrations and before you cry "their problem", drug addiction can only be irradicated by real government action.
That should be our first priority...Ake
