Hi Theresa thanks for the warm welcome great forum! It's great to be able to talk to so many fellow supporters of the cause, from all over not just Scotland. I have been in love with my country all my life, and it's very impotant to me. I love to show my devotion, and fly the saltire from a dummy car ariel, that was attached for that reason to my car's back window! I even had it painted on the roof of one car "dukes of hazzard" style. I read up on Scottish history all the time and play my "rebel" or "nationalists" songs when ever I get the chance.

Welcome to the forum scottishjameseboy, glad you like it here. I think part of the deal with the forum if for folk to realise that there is widespread support for independence, despite the lack of attention from the media etc.

I think you are spot on SLG. I feel the "Scottish media" fails the folk of Scotland and to represent the true feelings of the Scottish folk' and the fact that many other country's fail to understand why we allow a parliament so far a way from us to tell us what to do. Take for instance poll tax we had it two years and they ignored our complaints, yet England had it a year and it was scrapped because of their complaint's. Proving we are nothing but a test bed for English crap. The folk of many nations some of which are smaller than Scotland support our cause as you say (as proven on here). What we need to do is bring all aspects of the argument for independence to the forefront of Scottish folk, not just the wee bits which are repeated all the time. I have sent my subscription a way for the Scots independent news paper and feel it's a shame it is not available in shops so more folk would know about out it, and understand the argument for self government and independence better.

whewww feel better for getting all that of my chest!! sorry for going on abit!!

For another BIG LIE check out the McCrone report of the early 1970's, which is now available under the freedom of information act. Its an eye-opener.
Before the next elections in 2007, every adult in Scotland should read how, why and by whom, Scotland was deprived of independence by Westminster. Write or email your MP for a copy of this report.

Hi Scottishjameseboy

I thought we had the Poll Tax just a year before it was introduced in England, and wasn't it to get rid of our high rates or something akin to that?

I'm right in the middle of a Scottish politics course and my lecturer is from Yorkshire. Needless to say I'm probably getting a slightly skewed version of our history.

And the poll tax breached the act of union.

To be frank, very few people in Britain have any sort of purity in that sense. We're all settlers.

Countless thousands. The royal navy and army over the centuries have had thousands of Scots from the highlands in the ranks. I didn't think that would needed to have been typed but yet nationalists always surprise me with how often they need things simply and slowly spelled out for them.

I would imagine more lowlanders fought for the British state than against or just more Scots in general given two world wars.........so what Confused

I too am of Scottish decent. I have done a lot of reading on the subject and I still don't understand what Scotland has to lose by seeking their independence.
I've read through this thread (and many others on other boards) and I can't quite get a clear picture of the pros and cons. The one "con" seems to be fabricated.
Why is it so hard to visualise an independent Scotland taking its place on the world stage?

I know it's not the same, but in 1982, our Prime Minister went over to England and brought our constitution home... made us self-governing.

What are the names and artist of those "rebel"or "nationalists" songs? I am not familiar with this line of music.
