As many Sparks fans are Scottish, I just wonder what the views are on Scottish independence from the UK???
You do not have to be Scottish to participate!

Donald Trump wines and dines Eck The Shrek who then gets 700 year old rhetorical ideas above his station.....probably after selling off vast chunks of land to Trump..if Scotland gets "bought and sold for Trumpton gold" (to paraphrase Rabbie) it'll be a sad sad day.

Of course Shreky shows his teeth when Trumpy doesn't want wind farms blocking "HIS" view.....
There was a bloody good reason nobody touched SNP with a sh***y stick in the 70s and 80s..so think on.
..Mind I wonder how much in line I am for the throne because if Scotland needs/wants/gets this independence, the position of royal figurehead will be up for grabs.....some guy in NZ apparently has first dibs after tracing a direct link to Bonnie Prince Charlie (probably via Anastassia of Russia).

Send Eric Joyce up to sort them all out (in 3 months when his pub ban expires)...he gets my vote any day!

Not for me. Proud to be both Scottish and British.

That way for example I'm allowed to cheer on the Scottish Andy Murray all through a tournament until the British Andy Murray loses in the semis.

@ Bobby,
My sentiments entirely!
Chris Hoy is also a Brit when he wins.
A Scot is still a Brit though. I'd like to keep it that way.
Nothing wrong with the status quo.
Apart from Rossi's hair.... ;)

Last Wimbledon...I submitted a limerick to the local radio station, which they read out...it was off the cuff so I hadn't written it down...but it echoed these sentiments.....from (dodgy) memory.

Andy Murray from Oxshott
The best that Britain has got
But if he gets beat
you can bet tout de suite
he's back to being a Scot!!

Nobody can look at the shambles being played out at Westminster over the last few years and claim that Scotland is being well served by these morons and liars.

The Scottish Parliament has already done a better job than Westminster with the powers it has (free prescriptions for all, care for the elderly, tuition for students, removing the bedroom tax, banning fracking) so why would it not do better with powers over all the things a nation needs to decide for itself?

Westminster is broken. Scotland can do better.

Next time, we will vote 'Yes', have a concert to celebrate independence and Sparks will be in the line up (with Franz Ferdinand)!

Scottish independence all the way. And give Ireland back to the Irish while they're at it.
