Freedom Sure, But A Little Common Sense.


For such an old country the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is always moving forward and trying to evolve, I think if England ,Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland eventually split off and do their own thing it will still be a United Kingdom, more British than the Commonwealth because of the close quarters to each other and you'll always have Bitter Balls like me that wants independence but will still bow to the Queen. (not a Queen, the Queen) heres what some blah blah politicians have to say, the polls are showing that the people want to split.


Prime Minister Tony Blair -- " The reason I detest this narrow nationalism is not because it engenders fear, but because it squanders hope."

Chancellor Gordon Brown -- "There is a debate to be had about the future of the United Kingdom," he said."But I think when you look at the arguments, when you look at the family ties, the economic connections, the shared values, the history of our relationship which has lasted 300 years, people will decide we are stronger together and weaker apart."

SNP leader Alex Salmond -- "Scots were tired of being ruled from London.He added that English voters were "quite rightly" resentful of the influence of Scottish MPs in English affairs.

Tory leader David Cameron -- "The union between England, Scotland and Wales is good for us all and we are stronger together than we are apart."

Sir Menzies Campbell, the Lib Dem leader -- "Once devolution has bedded down in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland it would be entirely appropriate to consider the role of MPs from all three countries at Westminster".
