Scotland to leave the UK?

If I ever become a pirate on the high seas, this will be my flag.
A British Skull & Cross Bones. :guffaw:

You mean like this? ;)

Personally, I prefer the Black Jack without a skull, too.
 
^Since when was we trying to go for that whole cold war Eastern Germany fashion reject vibe thing anyway? lol.

No... F**k Scotland, if they want their own nation, then they can't have the Queen and I'm keeping the St. Andrews cross for Great Britian and the Union Jack. Let the EU worry about Scotland. :)

Ignoring the arbitrary denotion of merit for the United Kingdom, if you have to ask, you probably don't grok nationalism all that much. Ireland meets most of those requirements, but I've never felt independence was a mistake.
Well, we are taught in history classes about centuries of discrimination and incompetence, so that tends to bias the mind a little. I'm not sure that teaching future Scottish generations about the evils of Margaret Thatcher would have the same effect.

Oh sure, but for me it kind of comes down to liking not having anything to do with Britain and the perks of being a small neutral country more then any highfalutin notions of nationalism.

Jamaica and Australia and Canada have the Queen, Ireland doesn't...
We did. Well, we had the King as head of state until 1949.

Although from 1936 the thing's in a confusing flux, going back to Colin Firth's coronation.
 
And the flag needs to be brighter, we're not German :). No black more blue, and how dare you give Scotland the blue, we should take it. :lol:
 
I'm just saying, Scoland shouldn't be allowed to keep the Queen because she has all the fire power. - They should just shut up and focus on unifying the nation.

What "fire power" does the Queen have?

She keeps the nuclear button in her handbag, dontcha know. ;) But seriously, I'm not quite sure what "fire power" she packs either.

The rest of the UK can keep the blue in the Union Flag, because the blue of the Saltire is officially Pantone 300 (as opposed to Pantone 280 in the Union Flag).
 
Let's keep the Union Jack as it is, red white and blue, and claim blue as the waves we rule in that song we wrote... We should force Scotland to accept Red and Yellow and have this as their Flag.

I'm not sure why I'm taking this seriously, but the Scottish Lion Rampant is completely inappropriate for what would likely be a Scottish Republic.
Constitutional Monarchy!

All hail, Salmond! hail to thee, MSP for Banff and Buchan!

All hail, Salmond! hail to thee, First Minister of Scotland!

All hail, Salmond! that shalt be king hereafter....
 
I think Scotland's too late anyway and Alex Salmond has delusions of grandeur.

The population of Scotland is only 5,116,900 where London, not England, but my 26 by 26 miles of it called London has a population of 7.2 Million... Alex Salmond's a joke, asking for inderpendence but keeping the Queen.

It's the Uzi in her handbag, obviously. :rolleyes: Why do you think she always carries that bag around with her wherever she goes? One moment she's the nice quaint old lady, the next she's pumping a round of lead into you if you're not careful.

I heard she only uses it in case of a future Roundhead uprising. ;)
 
I wish she would do something to the SNP though. It's unconstituional and she isn't allowed to get involved with any matters that are political, but Salmond needs to be put in his place, we gave him Holyrood, now he wants his mile.
 
I saved Scotland some time and designed their new currency for them. Don't bother putting a cheque in the mail...

Alex Salmond must recieve soo much hate mail from Pro British Scottish people and English alike. I'd be surprised if he wasn't a target. - Heck, I'm tempted to send him a strong worded letter myself.
