There's a boat there called The Discovery. I have been on it, it's nice.

Sean Connery, one man who definitely doesn't need false teeth

How about the fight over Berwick?


Or the West Lothian question?

Could be academic before 2010, now that Labour in Scotland support a referendum on Independence.

London could quite happily exist on its own without the rest of the country to have to deal with.

But The Treaty of Union was signed in 1707. Both sides have had multiple opportunities to rescind the treaty but the union remains intact. In all honesty, there would be few implications for Constitutional Law but the process of ostracising wouldn't be that hard. We have different legal systems after all.

When ? - I can think of only two, 1715 and 1745.

If the necessary collective will was there to bring about its retraction, it would be done. Parcel of rogues indeed

Not so sure if it needs to be done but Salmond has been pushing this agenda for many a year.

Indeed Salmond has, its the raison d'etre of the SNP.
The SNP have been in power for just over a year now, look at the accomplishments - stunning.
All political pundits from all sides admit they have played a blinder so far.
Bodes well for the Independence referendum in 2010.

Sometimes u need to state the obvious :) Salmond speaks with conviction and is generating widespread support. He knows that he won't run out of steam

most english are not of polish origin
17,000 poles came to england after the war compared to a population of 50 million thats nothing.
the biggest influx of poles in england came in the 1900's when 300,000 eastern european jews came to england,100,000 of them were polish.
