Independent Scotland All Brits out..

[Steveboy]

Any idea what would happen if Scotland got to be Independent and after this they wanted the following:

1. English language would be banned.

2. It would be illegal to teach the English language in schools doing so would incur 2 years in prison.

3. All English signs would be taken down and replaced with signs in Scottish.

It is not a question of .. it would not happen.. Scotland would not do that and so on...

It is a question on what do you think the English government would do?

I see what you did there.

As a Scot myself, I suspect there would be civil war.....

A parallel has been drawn.

And just say.. Just say a few Scots just a few decided to beat a couple of Brits up.. give them a hard time .. maybe go chuck some red paint over the front door .. maybe smash the car up and this sort of stuff..not thousands but it was pretty common.. every week some English family in Scotland got the car set on fire.. the front door kicked in.. nothing to big..BUT enough to always be in the news.. along with the English language being banned and other draconian measures from the new Independent Scotland..

And what would happen if the new Independent Scotland decided to give the French fishing rights, allowed French fishing vessels to operate from Scottish harbors not just a few.. thousands of them and if they decide they no longer wished to trade with England .. France was their new buddy ..

There would be hell to play wouldn't there?


It kind of happened in Wales some years back when the Welsh decided to burn a few English holiday cottages..


I rest my case .. . Of course there will still be the arm chair dumb ****s who still do not get the point..

uh, oh, no reason to respond.  after all, you have just said that any one who responds is a dumb****
of course, anyone who was grounded in reality in the first place would have used a better parallel

It is a question on what do you think the English government would do?

but since we are in your fantasy world....
I am sure that the first thing that would happen, is for nukes to start flying.
is that close enough to  "it would not happen.. England would not do that and so on..."

Your Gaelic is a little rusty?

[2tallbill]

I see what you did there.
 

I didn't but I am not curious enough to engage the easily offended OP to find out.
