Another great Blair ??

By mistyping the heading you are now intrigued to find out what I am posting about. Well the Scottish Parliment upgraded their website this week

SP Website

So when did a dialect became a language??

Also when will the Scottish/Welsh MPs stop having a say on English Law??

I thought this thread was going to be about Lionel Blair.

I'm disappointed.

One solution, an independent English Republic. I seriously hope I live to see the day that happens!

The Queen balances power and surely this is a good thing, because she doesn't have to worry about public opinion and can step in and have a say on morals alone. Imagine if Blair was President...(queue waving lines ala This Little House That Almost Got Chipped)

Presumably when we stop nicking Scottish Oil and Gas and shagging Welsh sheep ?

The only solution is a benign dictatorship with me as el presidente.

I would have so much bling (medals, gold braid etc.) on my uniform that you would not believe it.

Not too long on the Oil and Gas front then, according to the Power Companies.

And do you have to bring you perversion to fore again. I have told you before you insist then you should go for the Yorkshire Black.

Sorry mate but the Scots tung is a language in its own right. It developed in parrallel with English. Gaelic was never the language used in SE Scotland. This area was settled by Angles and was part of the kingdom of Northumberland for centuries. Don't tell the locals in Edinburgh but they're really English in disguise.
BTW Welsh was still spoken in SW Scotland up to the 14th century. So in reality the sweaties are a bunch of Scots, pictish, Welsh (briton) English & Norse mongrels. Bit like the English really..!
