    5%??? Vandy - get on a plane to America now!! The invasion has begun!! I repeat - the invasion has begun!!!

    No, don't take a plane - they're not safe. Uh, book passage on a Christian gay wine tasting cruise to America. It's the only way you'll be safe!

      Latest polling was that Scotland would vote to stay by a lot, England would vote to leave by a little and so the Scottish vote would keep Britain in.

      I could see that causing some upset in certain areas.

      The irony is that if Britain votes to leave that would trigger a second referendum and Scotland would probably leave Britain but stay in Europe. That would get me to where I want to be politically but I think it could cause a lot of economic misery for a lot of people.

        Considering Scotland puts a shitload more into the British economy than it gets back wouldn't Britain suffer more economically than Scotland If Scotland decided to split from the UK?

          The only good thing about Scotland is that it is not limeyland.

            A lot of English think the exact opposite.

            I think it would all work out about even over time, the low oil price at the moment skews things a bit.

              I don't think limey is as pejorative as you would like it to be. It's also meant to refer to British not English.

              I think the best analogy would be Yank. If I called Donnie a Yank I would guess that he may find it very mildly offensive but also a little confusing as it would have Yankee overtones. Maybe it's just me but these words like limey and SLAVE that you have been using as insults are a little confusing more than insulting.

                Most southerners know you folks across the pond refer to all Americans as Yanks or Yankees. No big deal. The term I don't care for is colonist or colonists. Like calling us your bitch.

                      I do sometimes hear 'our colonial cousins' used.

                        I have Scottish family and spend amounts of time up there , and I would say 60-40 wanted to stay in the uk.
                        I think the more honest question was do you want to be part of the London centric cuntfest or a fair diplomatic equal partnership the percentage would change ??
                        I sometimes wonder the people who vote to leave must want to be left to a permanent right wing cuntocracy . Never knew there was so many selfish rich people
                        fuck your fucking framing

                          "centric cuntfest" - that's a great term, but unfortunately if you used that in the US, they would call you a "sexist".

                          I've tried explaining to the Hillbots on another board that Trump is also a cunt, but they still think it's an attack on Hillcunt just because she has one.

                            Bottom line: this thread is about limeys shit-stirring which is all they do. How many times have I explained what a disaster the limey is?

                            I think I'm owed an apology and a thank you.
