Scottish... prove me wrong. And why they wouldn't be instrumental

What?

VickyEadieofThigh · 09/01/2024 20:36

I've no idea what you mean.

AgnesX · 09/01/2024 20:37

What are you havering about?

forcedfun · 09/01/2024 20:37

Huh? Because of the nuclear bases I guess?

Have you been watching Braveheart again?

I'm not sure about countries but I think I'm the face of an invasion our thirty-fifty year old women would likely be the biggest threat invaders have faced in quite some time. We're generally pretty exhausted, we don't have time nor patience for any shit and we'll welcome the chance for a damn good scrap 🤣

I have a feeling that declarations of war are not a devolved thing.

Do you mean: which nation/country out of England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, would react first, in the event of a new world war?

If so, I would suggest you put "Light-hearted" in the title.

Making jokes about each other and generalising can seem funny at first.

But experience has shown me, threads like this end up in awful, hateful prejudices and comments.

Many years ago I heard an interview with a defence expert who said, if WW2 was fought today, the Home Guard should be women in their 30s and 40s as they are fitter and stronger than old men and far more ruthless in defending homes, families and communities

I'd send an army of 6 year olds "playing" recorders to meet an invading army.

They'd soon scarper!

Doesn't matter which part of the UK they came from.

Glad it's not just me not getting this ! Confused😂

Prove us the Scots would be first to react and we'll try and answer
