This royal throne of kings, this sceptr’d isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,—
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
King Richard II. Act ii. Sc. 1

ReplyDeleteI suppose the sad thing, and maybe the stupid thing, is this was not a slip of the tongue. This is what unionists believe and in particular Michael Moore and all Labour members. The rest of the world have to have it pointed out to them we are Scottish when abroad and in the main we are seen as a region by most MP's and a lot of MSPs.
The even sadder part is that a lot of Scots don't even see themselves as Scots at all and have been brainwashed into being a thing called British that doesn't really exist, there is England and North England and that's that. Still hopefully this might have gotten a couple of people to actually think about things and how they are seen.
Better Together my arse.
Give us your oil.
Give us your wealth.
Give us your young men for war.
Give us your vote
and in return
We will kindly give you shit and you will love it.

I agree he automatically thinks of it as England, but he is paid to be a little more clever... and as usual he has failed.
DeleteThat's what you get when you have people who believe that their wealth and "breeding" give them the right to high office.
He is a nob and I wouldn't trust him to make a cup of coffee.
a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
ReplyDeleteBrilliantly appropriate!!
DeleteOnce a moron always a moron.
ReplyDeleteKeep going Dave your doing a damned fine job of driving folks over to voting YES in 2014. I didn't think you had it in you to continually drive people over to YES but I was wrong you do!
Of course he doe, Arbroath...like all his stuck up richh boy cabinet.
DeleteI can't wait for them to come to Scotland and have their cabinet meetings (costing us a fortune to protect them from all the people, from all over the world who hate them).
I even think that idiot turning up with the pointy nosed dick head from defence to celebrate the beginning of a war that killed millions of people, in Glasgow, a few weeks before the referendum may even backfire on him.
I expect that mr Salmond will be there as a guest of the queen. He will stand out as a popular leader, while Cameron has bodyguards all around trying to stop people taking a shot at him.
I've just had a wee thought here Tris.
DeleteI wonder how it would go down with the Muppet king if next year's March for Independence was held on the same day as he, his cabinet, Lizzie babe, Charley Farley uncle Tom cobblers and all were in Glasgow celebrating the start of World War I?
I think I know which one will be left with egg on its face........NOT the March for Independence in case you were wondering.
I think I also know which one the BBC will giving wall to wall sickening earse licking coverage to.......NOT the March for Independence.
Mind you with there being calls for the disbandment of the BBC Trust who knows maybe the BBC will be following the Hootsmon down the closure route. lol
LOL It's a thoughyt, but probably too controversial.
DeleteEck will be the sovereign's guest at the church... we don';t want to let them say we disrespected the troops... that is their job.
I say we treat it like anything else that the queen leads in Scotland.
They will be waiting for us to step out of line, and tasteless and opportunistic though the whole thing is, in my opinion, we must rise above it.
It may come back to bite them on the bottom... god what a horrible thought.
How did the page boy get the top job?
ReplyDeleteHe has "connections" a the palace... We all know what we heard about page boys and the palace...
DeleteOooh, missed the reference on the first viewing...
ReplyDeleteAye, typifies the mindset of the unionist.
Was a wee bit sick in my own mouth there, managed to hold it down though...
Just...
Thank goodness...
DeleteDon't want Munguin's Republic making people sick!!
