I care not a jot about marshall wade.Got more worries with fanatical muslims than living in the past. I do not a bit about Scottish history.One thing i do know is that there were more Scots fighting Scots at culloden than there was English.It was also King Billy who signed the order for the Highland clearances carried out by no less than "SCOTS". Well im scottish but class myself British.As for the native tongue i think you will find that it was never spoken in the lowlands.

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 My personal opinion is that as long as I have breath in my lungs I will never vote for the old National Front. Politicians are dirty lying b*****ds. The fact that they want to get paid to be dirty lying b*****ds makes them professional dirty lying b*****ds. They will promise you everything. They will deliver the path of least resistance, meaning they will do the bare minimum of work. The way I see it, is that if you want to make the world a better place then you have to remove any kind of monetary compensation from the job of MP. That way only those that want to make a difference will do the job, because they will do it for free. Anyone that is out to line their pockets is at extreme odds with making Britain a better place. From March 2006 to February 2007, our elected betters supplied their bars, restaurants and catering functions with 84,014 litres of beers, wines and spirits. Being dirty lying b*****ds that's what they will admit to... whatever that comes to on London prices, I wouldn't even want to start calculating, because I'll end up with a f*****g stroke when I think that it comes out of our pockets. You show me a party that won't be getting pissed on my taxes and I'll vote for them. You show me a party that can sort out the immigration problem, and I'll vote for them. But don't forget sorting out crime, healthcare, etc, etc, etc, etc... BNP won't ever do it. Neither will Labour, Tories, LibDems... ever because they're playing the same corrupt game. We need something new. As people in Britain won't vote then we're stuck with the old. That brings us back to hunting. The only party that stand a chance of repealing the ban are the Tories. They will never repeal it, only give us a degree of tolerance that will make it even more laughable than it already is. They will get my vote until the world changes significantly enough for genuine progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,118 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Its one thing to mourn the downfall of one's nation or culture and another to blame it on another race. Yeah It's ok to be proud of who you are but totally wrong to blame the erosion of this countries values on Muslims, Blacks or any other race for that matter. Ask yourself this who is to blame for the lack of morality and ethics in todays society. We have the highest rate of teenage pregnancies, unmarried mothers, Binge Drinking, knife crime, in some parts of the North they have the lowest life expectancy in Europe. Gone are the days of full employment when kids left school and walked into a job, this is where they learned the rules and respect for their elders. This "right of passage" has all but gone now and we have some families that have had generations of being on benefits and the dole and think theyre owed a living by the state. Succesive goverments have done nothing to help the situation and began with Thatchers destruction of all our Heavy Industries such as Coal, Steel and Shipbuilding to name but a few. All the Powerfull Unions are now paper tigers and toothless. So while we sit around looking for convienient hooks on which to lay the blame the real culprits move among us slowly eroding more and more of our civil liberties and we sit and take it on the chin cause thats the "British" way. Whats really killing this country is our apathy to whats really going on around us. How do you think the Americans would have reacted to a hunting ban? or the French for that matter,now theres a race that know how to protest. Like i already said, " we got ourself into this mess...its up to us to get ourself out of it ".....thats laying the blame at our own feet nobody elses.......if we are happy to accept the rest of the worlds shit and problems thats what we are going to get !.....so you dont see it as anything more than coincidence that drugs,knife crime or the other things you mentioned is at an all time high in this country at the same time that the country is at its all time highest regarding foreigners living here ?....like i say,when you accept the rest of the worlds shit,thats what you are going to get !...its no coincidence........as for who do we lay the blame on....yes of course we lay the blame on ourself,but dont expect folk to sit around and be happy with the races of people who are coming over here to rape us of everything we have,just because some gutless shitbags running our country are willing to let them !......anyway,this topic seems to have turned into a scottish history lesson now....so im out of here.

millie 1 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 IF the BNP were a party for people of all creeds, colours so long as they put BRITAIN first and formost before their culture religion ect i would vote for them, but as they stand id say some in their ranks still have racist undertones. nothing wrong with been NATIONALIST everything wrong with been RACIST imo.id say some in their ranks still have racist undertones Thats a bit like saying Hitler wasnt particularly fond of the Jews! Once you become a nationalist,your straight away branded a racist.....how can you win, even putting Britain first will still upset people,and the first thing they come out with,is its racism, not the fact its the blatant truth Anyway its only really the welsh and the muslims I'd like out of 'Britain' only joking.

It was a small minority of the Scottish elite who sold Scottish independance for financial gain, and as for the great seal what about "The Honours of Scotland" rediscovered in Edinburgh Castle the worlds oldest collection of crown jewels and the ultimate symbol of Scottish nationhhood, Tom Ps : as for the movie Braveheart, what a load of shit!! An Australian,playing a Scottish folk hero with an Irish/American accent it was historicaly inaccurate and just plain wrong, the Freedom speech in the movie was terrible!! because it took the Declaration of Arbroath out of context and para-phrased it!! Did you know that Scots were one of the first people to display a democratic tendency In the Declartion Scots asked for the right to depose and replace the monachy if it failed to serve the people Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SHE did and good for her, she could see that these industries wre finished and were a thing of the past its thirty year on and men and women are still suffering health problems from these industries, at the time people went mad because of what she did but ask them now ask them the conditions they worked in and they shivers run down their spines when they think of what they had to do, the people moved on and and found other employment and their was other employment with wages and conditions that were at least civilised, were their that many of you old enough to work when these industries were going or is it all what you hear.

Guest foxyjo. Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Foxyjo, is there a point to your posts? My main point was that it you cannot substitute politics for religion and excpect the world to be a better place. Religion is dangerous. That doesn't mean I am an athiest, (not sure of spelling). I believe in God, my children are christened and I was brought up to be a "believer". However, I strongly believe that religion is used to excuse some of the worst behaviour the planet ever sees. Muslim, catholic, C of E, whatever. If people brought their children up to follow the 10 commandments then how different life would be, but ardent, furious, fanatical views will only ever do us harm. That was my point. I just sensed that there was a suggestion that religion would be preferable to politics. If I got it wrong, then hey ho. This is a forum, I think there is still free speech to a certain point. My views have just as much right to be here as anyone elses. And if I'm wildly off topic....well, these threads have a tendancy to slip away from the first purpose anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 If people brought their children up to follow the 10 commandments then how different life would be. Exactly my point. I personally have never felt the desire to inflict a "mini me" on the world, but if I did I'd hope to teach the according to God's law. Off topic slightly, but why is that the people least able to lead by example have the most kids? See them everywhere now, horrible interbred people who think they are so wonderful they should create little versions of themselves, now that is wrong! Maybe it's just where I live, but I don't think so. I have a bit of a rule for when I'm dealing with "Darkies", and it's "Integrity not Ethnicity" if someone is decent then it matters not whether they are pink, yellow green or sky blue, but to be frank it does seem a lot of the problems I have when dealing with orders is when there are Asians involved, and that's my personal experience based on fact not a blinkered hatred, they don't make it easy for people to like them in my experience ...............
