Scotland and the UK 2010-01-23 16:10:07 Reply

I've heard from my European History teacher that Scotland is not part of the United Kingdom, saying that it has its own Parliament. If that's true, then why is it if I look on a map, the UK includes Scotland? If it is independent, then who is its Prime Minister?

I'm not saying anything bad about Scotland or the UK, but I'm confused at which is true.
So, is Scotland independent or not?

Though Scotland has it's own government, it's still a part of the United Kingdom. .

Its like 2 friends at a table, they'll work independently but they're still on the same table because they're buddies.

The BBS has a strict no-braveheart policy. There's nothing against going Eyelander on any forums that I know of, though.

I hate the lack of PNG support and the 150k limit.

Come back with one at your teacher - tell them that Wales technically isn't a part of the UK, as it's a principality of England and as such is a part of England.

This will be particularly harrowing if your teacher is in fact, Welsh.

We are a part of the UK. But we have a parliament. It was only recently that the bloody English gave it back, though.

There is, indeed, a Scottish Parliament, which can create laws and rulings on certain issues, however we are still part of the UK.

Fyndir is just such a swell Scottish name. Good choice, sir.

Is that right?

You pay for our free prescriptions and university fees...which you don't get yourselves. Funny kind of ownership you know, when the supposed slaves are treated better than the masters.

Oh shit ...

Scotland , take it baaack !

I will be very surprised if your teacher manages to argue with this.
