Yeah, but it was no great loss.

The American colonies cost us far more to garrison with troops than we made in taxes. We should have just let them go without a fight. Now if we can get rid of Wales and Scotland we'd be laughing.

Scotland doesn't have oil.

England has oil, since England has a navy and Scotland doesn't.

The Scottish deficit is about £15billion now. That's £5billion more than the North Sea oil industry generates.
