A great irony about the Scots' desire for independence
I know we joke about Her Maj and all her associated hangers-on being German, but someone actually showed me, fairly convincingly as far as I could see, that if you trace the lineage right from the first Saxon king of whatever-the-country-was-called-back-then* and follow it through to our present Queen, it turns out they're more Scottish than they are German or anything else.

So we have a semi-Scot** on the throne and a Scottish Prime Minister. And the Scots want independence...slow clap?

and assuming things go as expected
the next Prime Minister will be a Cameron.

Hoots mon (all Scottish people say that, all the time. FACT).

We're being overrun by the buggers. At least if the Lib Dems won the next election we could all stand in the street singing "Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg."

Ah but
there's nothing Scots hate more than poncy posh-schooled yah's who would do anything to be English. They're not one of us!
