Tax Benefits for Scotland...Is it fair?

[Pubey]

basically it should be scrapped... and all public expediture should be based on 'need', not population, which i think the original Barnett Formula was based on

Except for in previous vistis England would drag the rest down the pub , demand several chasers and free drinks keep sending the other 3 out to settle fights it had started . While being teh small yappy guy everyone hates

The United Kingdom is an artificial construct akin to Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. I say we cut ties with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and let them look after themselves. Our Prime Minister should be English (and preferably elected, not chosen by his Party).

If the Scots say anything about North Sea Oil, we can invite them to manage it themselves and watch the rigs fall into the sea as they explode in a maelstrom of McEwens, or just go and take them. I like the second option. We could contract the job out to the Israelis, they enjoy kicking the rear ends of oil rich neighbours.

Who would propably fail miserabaly against the friendly scandavians (Norwegians mainly ) who are trained to fight in those conditions, and would most likley help Scotland .
The Yanks wouldnt help them out this time ;) Oh yes and the rest of the UN .

The UK was created by... oh wait England at the time of which most other s had been subjectaed by... their own rich family peoples who knew it made economic sense fro them... Plus as stated the 4 countries have used it each other millitary wise for centuries

The cuddly Swedes would take out the Mossad headcases? Priceless osy. You should be in the halls.

And yes, the UK was constructed by England's conquest of the Celts. I'm sure Edward I is whirring in his grave at the power we have given back to them. The celtic nations define themselves by their hatred of the English - I don't consider them to be my countrymen, and I am sure the feeling is mutual. Why don't we just make it official? And send the pikeys back to Ireland while we're about it.

My old pal Uncle Adolf toyed with the idea of sending all the Jewish people to Madagascar before the German Gas Board got the contract. I've seen the film, and it looks great (Madagascar, not Auschwitz). And you wonder why we're bitter? And tight with money? And have big noses? I ask you.

Nope definitely not. My comment was purely based on every opportunity you get to post something anti English, you are there straight away.

I am English and proud to be English which seemingly puts me in a minority in this country these days, which makes me quite sad really. I love to see then pride Americans have in their country. The same goes for Frenchmen, German and plenty of others. Unfortunately the anti English attitude portrayed by you and plenty of others like you means the Country that our forefathers fought for ,is rapidly going down the pan.

Have you got your Croatia shirt ready for tonight?

I am aware that the native peoples of England and those other ghastly places are descended from a variety of different European tribes, but for the sake of simplicity, I am referring to Scotland, Wales and Ireland as the Celtic nations, in keeping with the terms used by the two bob nationalists of each of these cesspits. The English are the descendents of the adventurers, the invaders, the warriors and the explorers from North and Central Europe. That's why we have traditionally been a nation of great soldiers, sailors and nutters.

And I rate the Finns and Norwegians, but the Israelis are the World's top boys when it comes to kicking off with guns in their hands. And when we are properly equipped, the English are pretty good too.

The Germans had a stealth navy in World War 1.

Clearly the only way to settle this would be by way of a military-themed special edition of It's a Knockout with each side having a celebrity leader. Channel 4 would lap it up. My money is firmly on Ronnie Rosenthal's Jaffa All Stars to take the honours.
