Whaaat? Post reported.Wholemeal pastry?
He's really overrated. Give me Robert Louis Stevenson any day.Just to throw in a bit of controversy...
Am I alone in thinkimg Walter Scott did go on a bit with his pages and pages (and even more pages) of descriptions of landscapes..?
Yes you're right but so what?My point is that even after independence, Scots will have the right to enter, live in and work in England because of their British Passport.

I quite liked some (and capturing the old folk tales of the Covenanters and all was good) but The Bride of Lammermoor defeated me. And it's very draughty and narrow at the top of the Scott Monument and all.He's really overrated. Give me Robert Louis Stevenson any day.
Yes. Very old fashioned style. I read him as a kid. Ivanhoe all that. Didn’t notice. You don’t. You don’t know what literature should be like when you’re 11. (I didn’t even realise Robinson Crusoe didn’t have chapters until someone told me). But I read him a couple of years ago. The Heart of Midlothian. Christ, he’d never get to the point!Just to throw in a bit of controversy...

If you're going to make up a country, boots on land = win (the game hasn't changed much).Just to throw in a bit of controversy...

I muust confess I'd never really thought of the politics of it (apart from the Covenanter etc stuff)... Could be he was just trying to bore everyone into admission/acceptance.If you're going to make up a country, boots on land = win (the game hasn't changed much).
Thank you.Yes you're right but so what?
Assuming that the SNP sticks to the manifesto it published during Indyref 1 at the moment of independence any person living in Scotland either born there or habitually resident become a Scottish citizen, any person living outside Scotland but born there is also a Scottish citizen.
If they were not born there but have one parent or grandparent born there they can register with the Scottish Embassy (once one is up and running) as a Scottish citizen.
These are the current rules operated by both the UK and Eire and the SNP has said it would adopt them into Scottish Law as would be the right of an Independent Scotland
Under British Law anyone who currently has a British passport (which is pretty much everyone in Scotland at the moment) would keep it. Their children and grandchildren born in an independent Scotland would be eligible to register as a British citizen under British law which is nothing to do with Scotland but is British law (though being dual citizens now, Priti can strip them of it for terrorism).
British citizens can unsurprisingly come and go into Britain as they choose, regardless of what other citizenships they hold.
Any third generation Scot born after independence will not have that right and will be purely a Scottish citizen however since UK rights to claim end at the third generation.
However Irish citizens currently have the right to enter, live in and work in the UK purely on their Irish passports I would imagine indeed I am certain that right will be extended to purely Scottish passport holders. Why shouldn't it and why are you bothered?
Agreed.In fact thinking about what I have posted nothing actually changes, currently everyone living in Scotland can come and go in the UK and Ireland as much as they want, Post independence everyone currently living in Scotland can come and go in the UK and Ireland as much as they want so thing will not change for the Scottish for a few decades. Technically I suppose Holyrood could then impose restrictions on British or Irish citizens coming to Scotland but not being completely deranged why on earth would they do that?
What have residence rights got to do with economic interdependence?, The UK is heavily interdependent on both the USA and the EU, the first have no residency rights and the second are being stripped of theirs. Scotland and England are interdependent so much because they are actually the same country (for now at least).Thank you.
Exactly my point. Scotland and England are necessarily economically interdependent because of shared residence rights.
There is a considerable amount of denial of reality on this thread from people who do not understand British citizenship.
If you read back I was talking about the probable false belief that Scotland's economy would collapse after independence. Some celebrate this. I was pointing out that should it occur, England would experience destabilising movements as people with residence rights drifted south.What have residence rights got to do with economic interdependence?, The UK is heavily interdependent on both the USA and the EU, the first have no residency rights and the second are being stripped of theirs.

Mark Twain fucking hated him.Yes. Very old fashioned style. I read him as a kid. Ivanhoe all that. Didn’t notice. You don’t. You don’t know what literature should be like when you’re 11.

What about sausage rolls? (Not to be confused with a roll and sausage).This thread is a disgrace. Macaroni cheese??? Fuckin pastry (the type is irrelevant)??? This is a final warning for some posters that the P&P section exists, mainly, for the discussion of sausages. Unlike some competitors we’ve always operated a policy that transcends borders and geography when it comes to the banger. Square sausages exist alongside the southern sliced sausage in harmony. In recent years we’ve opened our structures up to allow ground breaking debate on chorizo hearing contributions from Spanish and Mexican enthusiasts.
Further postings about any non-sausage based comestible will see the poster placed on ignore.

Undeniably it has a "certain style", but the burning issue is, shirley....does it have "a thick skin"?What about sausage rolls? (Not to be confused with a roll and sausage).

I used to think having a thick skin mean able to deal with criticism. But it seems to mean “just puts everyone on ignore”.Undeniably it has a "certain style", but the burning issue is, shirley....does it have "a thick skin"?
Because he’s a spy cop.Why’s everyone being so rude to the OP?
Another example of that famous U75 welcome to newbs?
What's that then? I just see a good old pile-in from a lot of the usual dickheads. Wouldn't have expected you to get involved with that though.Because he’s a spy cop.
