As such, any MP (including yours) has the right to introduce any Bill before Parliament that affects Scotland without any further action. If you believe that Parliament was sovereign before the Scotland Act, then it still is.



Yes, quite. A ginger haired, green eyed Celt that speaks Gaelic, drinks whisky and attends ceilidhs every evening is the only person who is Scottish enough for him.
Fair enough there mate. I am certainly not whining about the arrangement, I have more things on my mind than simply moaning about road signs not being in scouse or manchunian.

Actually the highland clearances are classed by many historians as an act of genocide.

Strange that I'm the one who cares about human rights meanwhile you support authoritarianism and terrorism.

Between Margo MacDonald having cosy chats with terrorists at our parliament building and this, i don't see how I'll ever be able to vote SNP.


Well done on embarrassing yourself (and me).

Having read your posts this past few days i gather that you're Irish (certainly "Pro-Irish" from what i can see). Everybody walks on egg shells for you and watches what they say but you can't do the same. You always have to try and stir things and you can't even do a very good job of that. It would be funny if you weren't so serious.
