More European parochialism.

I loved watching those arrogant catalans getting smacked around by the castilians.....they need to be reminded who the master is...

It also seems that years of poor diet and too much alcohol has taken it's toll on the Scots.

Better to be genetically small of stature Len, than to be (like yourself) permanently small minded.

Right, make this American spend time figuring out WTF a Glaswegian drunk is predicted to do.

Sounds like you are both name calling, but back to the subject. If states could vote to succeed from the Union, in America you would be seeing a mass exodus of the progressive American States leaving. Progressives would not be leaving because their anti-Trump feelings per se, but because the progressives I know hate policies that promote racism, lower education standards, poorly distribute the wealth, fail to provide health care to sick people, divide us internally and isolate us internationally. Now, we sort of went out of our way in 1860 to establish that if you do not like something the Nation is doing you, as a state, still do not have the right to break the Union. No, the progressives in America are going to stick it out and hope this nation survives, but I envy Scotland, because they can avoid having to be part of what I see is nothing but an attempt by British racist to keep their little white nation the same old imperialistic crap pot that is used to be. IMHO
Catalan is nothing like Scotland.

Scotty, I knew before I came on the board.

Britain!, an "imperialistic crap pot" Let me tell you that Britain built the greatest ever empire by acting like gentlemen.

And here is yet more proof that those Pictish pixies cannot be allowed out unsupervised by the English.

why dont u just leave then...for goodness sake...nobody care about the damp northern half of England ..ooops scotland...anyway...its a economically depressed crime/drug ridden wasteland where the best and brightest have decamped south.

I have read somewhere that there are 300,000 English people living in rain sodden Scotland.
In the referendum was the vote to leave the union lost by 300,000 votes?
Spain has made it clear that they would veto Scotland's entry to the EU if ever an application arrived from Dun Eadain.
Re. the Catalan Referendum; it was basically a bunch of leavers running around putting plastic boxes into schools with no independent monitoring and no agreement with Madrid.
It was not legitimate in the way that the Scottish Referendum was in my humble opinion.

The Scottish referendum was legitimate while the Catalan one was not. That is correct. Therefore the result of the Scottish one must be honoured by all parties while the Catalan one can be ignored.
