scottish politics
Subject: Scottish Politics
If Scotland gains its independence after the forthcoming referendum, the remainder of the United Kingdom will be known as the "Former United Kingdom" (F.U.K.)
In a bid to discourage Scots from voting yes in the referendum, the
Liberal Democrats have now begun a campaign with the slogan: "Please Vote No For FxK's sake"
They feel that the voters will be able to relate to this, particularly
those in Glasgow.

Re: scottish politics
Being a firm believer in "United we stand,Divided we fall," i hope it doesn't happen. However if that's the way the people of Scotland want it,then so be it. Just as long as they raise their own taxes.

Re: scottish politics

Re: scottish politics
It went back years ago John The Stone of Scone/Stone of Destiny and often referred to in England as The Coronation Stone, is an oblong block of red sandstone, used for centuries in the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland and later the monarchs of England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom.
Historically, the artefact was kept at the now-ruined Scone Abbey in Scone, near Perth, Scotland. It is also known as Jacob's Pillow Stone and the Tanist Stone, and in Scottish Gaelic clach-na-cinneamhain. Its size is about 26 inches (660 mm) by 16.75 inches (425 mm) by 10.5 inches (270 mm) and its weight is approximately 336 pounds (152 kg).At each end of the stone is an iron ring, apparently intended to make transport easier.
