>Execute the whole sorry mess of them and put the Queen in charge for a few years. I trust her far more than any politician.<



Oh yes the Windsors are an excellent example to us all. Like when the Queen 'suddenly' remembered that conversation she'd had, leading to the sudden 'collapse' of the Paul Burrell trial. Nothing to do with Windsor panic that more things would come out about the way they behave.

Tell you what SWL, come the split between England and you lot, you take the Winsors with you; they still have a nice little pied a tere at Balmoral. We'll keep elected representatives, with all its inevitable imperfections as our form of government.

">It wouldn't hurt to put CCTV & a Mosquito device on fire engines.

There are already the press mosquitos taking pictures and the siren of the fire engine acts not unlike a 'Mosquito device'. "

I'm sure Alex Salmond is salivating at the prospect.

We ain't taking the Windsors when we rebuild Hadrian's wall cos we've got our own German to take the crown:

(Alright, it's from t'other place so it's probably all made up; maybe he's the one who co-wrote Don't Stop Moving?)

German ruler? You lot have got short memories! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berti_Vogts

He manages an African team (think it's Nigeria). That must be fun for everyone involved - he didn't speak English very well so the Scottish team had no idea what he wanted of them most of the time so I pity those poor Nigerians. Mind you, the 319ers might start emailing everyone in Scotland offering millions of dollars to take him back...

Haven't the Nigerians just sacked him?

Quick, get him back while you've got the chance!

Have they? Result!
