Gypsum Fantastic posted:actually we let them decide that for themselves and they voted an overwhelming 'och no' was that much of a landslide, it was only 400,000 votes and considering the amount of stupid campaigning brits did to fight it idk man fwiw less than 40% of people living in the colonies supported independence from the UK. I feel like you're always going to have 1/3 of the population be loyalists, 1/3 be apathetic, and 1/3 be separatists (and generally that's how things usually shake out). given that a simple majority democratic vote seems slightly unfair.

That way the people who actually know or care that they are getting hosed by the ponces in the South with regards to things like oil production/export/profits are ameliorated.

General Napier on Indian Custom posted:"Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs." You used to be cool, Britain.

Like I bet there's tons of Scots who want to be treated more fairly by Parliament, or at the very least not have their representative's proposals laughed at, who at the same time don't necessarily want to be totally independent. But no, everyone just gets the finger because David Cameron is a fucker who lols when Scotland says 'hey we produce more oil than Britain but Britain gets most of the money from it...'
