# What with the SNP pushing for a free scotland....
the Union Jack's going to become a bit boring - and just look badly drawn/off kilter. Anyone got any better ideas?

*edit* and no, I have no idea why you would want to 'click for bigger'

# I think...
...it means they want whatever gas/oil is left.

I pointed out to the Scotsman next to me at work that there's nothing to stop the Shetlands and Orkneys spotting the potential of this kind of thinking. WHERE WILL IT ALL END? Have your say...

# Narrow minded/ill informed opinion tiem:
Don't Scotland already have it pretty sweet?

It seems like they get all the funding and support the rest of the UK get, but then get to make up their own rules
e.g. We all pay the same tax but I have to pay per item on an NHS* prescription but if I went across the border it would be free. For no other reason than that's the decision in Scotland? Then why do we all pay the same taxes?

*Yes, that's another thing that vaguely irks me- we have a free health service but still have to pay for prescriptions and dental work? I know we don't pay for lots of stuff but I still think that's a bit of a cheeky distortion of the term 'free' when what it actually seems to mean is 'discounted' and 'set rates'.

# On the other hand, it is quite cold and dark in scotchland, so these things could be considered 'hazard perks'
Ahhhh. Scotchland, how I miss its green hilly lochs and deep flowing bannocks.

# Idea:
Stick a big fuck-off dragon on it. Wales will happily take Scotland's place.

Then Scotalnd will get all jealous and try to weedle its way back in.

# I'd be highly dubious about the truth of that statement
There's some SERIOUS resentment towards England and their 'coming into Wales thinking we're just part of England', my experience is very much that they want to be seen as unique/independant so bad it amounts to almost hatred for England, and since England usually seems to be the focal point of our so called 'United' Kingdom...
