A simple brief
thought on Scottish
Independance.

Were the outdated
union not of some very
high value to England and
the English, why would
they fight so to try to
keep it?

There are only so many
slices to a pie, for one to
have more, another must
have less.

Lastly - to those Scottish
"Loyalists" - to whom are
you loyal?
Scots royalty died in the
1700's so it can be no
Scots crown - And
certainly not it appears to
those who came before,
that bled for Scotland
and her freedom !  
In the words
of Burns, as he
wrote from the heart.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie.

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power,
Chains and slaverie.

Wha would be a traitor-knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
Let him turn and flie:

Wha for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Free-man stand, or free-man fa',
Let him follow me.

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your Sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us Do - or Die!!
!

Choose your destiny.
Oh ye're ma wee gallus bloke nae mair
Ye're ma wee gallus bloke nae mair
Wi' yer bell-blue stride, yer bonnet tae the side
Ye're ma wee gallus bloke nae mair

As ah went by the sweetie works ma heart began tae
beat
Watchin' a' the factory lassies walkin' doon the street
Wi' their flashy dashy petticoats, flashy dashy shawls
Five and a tanner gutty boots, We're a' wee gallus molls

The Scots it is a noble tongue, the meaning's hard to tell
It's in aboot an' hey, nae doot, it's tapsalteerie all
But we are only doin' oor best, we try tae do it well
But whit the song is all aboot we dinnae ken oorsel'
