WigerToods2010:What's Alex's next plan of action after doing a
runner in the wake of losing the referendum, terrorism? culling
pensioners?
First
to the calm bit. In a couple of years there will, naturally, be more
people alive that voted yes than there will that voted no.
WigerToods2010:
Right
now I feel that we in Scotland are not too far away from going down the same
route that blighted Northern Ireland when the modern day troubles began in
earnest.
Salmond's
rhetoric since abandoning ship about "grabbing independence" has
only fuelled the fire.
I
have seen no even a hint of violence mentioned before, during, or after other than in George
Square. You bring it up on very spurious grounds (grabbing independence, like grabbing a chance) and I wonder why.
This is
from the Daily Record on what happened in George square
“Sectarianism has always
been a failure to understand why others choose a different path to our own, be
that religious, cultural or political. It’s defining yourself by what you hate
rather than what you believe in.
Those with sectarian
attitudes like to give the impression that they alone represent the hopes and
fears of their communities. They rely on our apathy, apprehension and
reluctance to become involved.
We can’t let this
small-minded minority scare us into thinking that change isn’t coming and that
they are untouchable.”

And
I couldn’t agree more.
This may be hard for someone outside the British Isles to understand, but it is about the cause of most of the hatred here, particularly in Scotland and N Ireland.
Then you actually go to N Ireland and I would explain what the troubles there are about but
you probably know better than I do. Scotland has had it part it the
troubles since they began with a lot more than collections outside football
grounds, as you know
WigerToods2010:
"No bombs, no bullets, one egg", someone posted on Twitter on Friday. "Well done Scotland."
I sincerely hope the above can still be said in years to come.
Pardon me if I take this with more than a pinch of salt.
If anyone wants to know
what he’s about look at his homepage and if you don’t know what “Chelsea and Rangers Blues Brothers” is,
Google it, or paste this in search http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJS11A5S7XM or the
Herald report after Manchester was trashed

Yeah sure, it’s the Scottish people
that want to govern themselves that are likely to cause violence like in N
Ireland.
