All this talk of Scottish independence /snp ect has got me thinking. If scotland did become inedependent who would keep the Queen /royal family ect?.
Bear in mind , King james of Scotland inherited the English throne from Queen Elizabeth he first of England, who died without producing an heir.
The monachy is therefore off Scottish line of decent and really the English Royals died off centuarys ago.
The reason they live in England is King James was raised by Elizabeth in England after his mother Mary queen of scots was beheaded.
So can Scotland really be independent from England ? I dont think so , not if both countries share a Queen/King.
To me Scotland wanting to be separate from the rest of the uk is like chucking away a very special gift.
Often in Scotland i have came across the attitude , that England doesnt have Scotlands intrest at heart , that everything is geared toward London.That somehow England owns Scotland and we must rebel.( I dont agree, fecking "braveheart" has a lot to answer for imo ).
The politics of dividing a nation are mind boggeling and i admit i dont understand what exactly that would mean , but it just seems a lot of hassle for a lot of hassle and not much else.
The old saying comes to mind , together we stand ....divided we fall.
